The New Mary Tyler Moore?
Alison Brie turns 29 today. Like Mary Tyler Moore, she seems older in the 1960s. (Unfortunately, for some reason I can't embed Mad Men scenes).
Anyway, our little Annie from Community is growing up.

I think with the Santa Claus number she surpassed Britta as the sexy one.
They have been aggressively de=sexing Britta for some time and tarting up Annie. That and chronology.
When the show started, it had a more conventional plot of Jeff joining the group to chase after sexy Britta. Your classic Sam/Diana axis that tons of sitcoms had--the head couple that everything else revolves around. Meanwhile, the others had their own designs--Annie secretly loved Troy, Pierce was going after Shirley, and Abed was Abed.
But as the first year moved along they decided to go in a different direction. They also realized Jeff and Annie had chemistry. As it's turned out, Britta's character has become less the leading lady role (and maybe Jeff less the leading man) and is now more a character part--she's still hot, but now she's the shrill one who always has causes, even if she's in over her head. Pierce and Shirley have their own deal, while the strongest couple is actually Troy and Abed.
