As predicted... it was Starburns. Too bad.

But he will make a great ghost if they decide do keep him around. That would be cool.

Abed did a great job with the little Jerry Orbach smirks.

by **hepcat** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 10:59 pm

Finally got to see this last night. An excellent episode, I must say. The Dean continues to make me laugh almost as much as Abed and Troy.

REJOICE.

Community has been renewed for at least another 13 run season!

Wow...color me shocked, and happy! I'm shappy!!

by **Daveman** » Fri May 11, 2012 1:09 pm

Great news about the renewal, even if it's just half a season. I really liked last nights episode, especially toying with the idea that they've been in an asylum all this time. I started laughing nearly right from the start...

"Troy, is that a casserole?"
"It's Bagel Bites in a deconstructed Hot Pockets reduction with Doritos glaze."

While I liked last night's episode, I REALLY like the setup it obviously was meant to be. We're going to see a big showdown with Chang and his horde soon. I hope it's going to be this season's paint ball episode...although to be fair, the civil war episode topped all other paint ball episodes in my book and could easily be seen as this season's version.

And kudos to the writers for still refusing to reuse clips in flashback scenes. Every one of last night's were new.

"Anyone know how long peyote lasts?" :lol:

by **Freezer-TPF-** » Fri May 11, 2012 3:04 pm

The asylum is a classic trope. I really enjoyed the asylum versions of previous scenes. Community should just go on forever with tvtropes.org as the blueprint.

What classic episode genres haven't we had yet? There's been a wedding, baby, bottle, Christmas, Halloween, character death. . .

Reason #128 why I'll miss this show when it's gone.

(Love Peirce's outfit)

by **Ralph-Wiggum** » Thu May 17, 2012 1:18 pm

3 (!) new episodes tonight!

by **hepcat** » Thu May 17, 2012 1:50 pm

Yeah, I noticed that the other night. Are they burning off the season?

I believe so.

by **Freezer-TPF-** » Thu May 17, 2012 3:19 pm

That must be why my DVR scheduled list looked weird.

by **hentzau** » Thu May 17, 2012 8:45 pm

Ok, the first episode tonight was the best!

by **killbot737** » Thu May 17, 2012 8:47 pm

That was the best show in the history of TV except for when Poochie returned to his planet.

Dear friends that watch Community.
I recently picked up the show this week and have watched the entire run.
What's awesome is some other network picked up Cougar Town, but the FIRST OF 3 F'n EPS tonight.
WTF!?!?!?!?!?!
This is what we've always talked about... And I'm not done yet with the 1st of 3...
Just had to post. I'm having one of those moments in life where it really doesn't get better whilst watching a TV.
Again, we've talked or not talked about this - but you know, shite or awesome, it's the best thing ever on network TV... Well since J.R. got shot...
Gus GO

He was from another planet???

by **hepcat** » Fri May 18, 2012 10:13 am

All three episodes were solid, but if I had to choose a favorite I'm going with the video game episode. I laughed hard at Shirley's attempts to act as "the cleaner" at the blacksmith's house after Annie dispatched him. I also found Troy's love of jumping around in the game funny for some reason.

I also need an animated gif of the dean fainting when Jeff touches him in the Chang-centric episode. :lol:

Good lord, is there a funnier supporting actor in a sitcom out there right now who's better than Jim Rash?

by **Zarathud** » Fri May 18, 2012 10:26 am

He would make an AWESOME Dr. Venture for a live action Venture Brothers.

by **Daveman** » Fri May 18, 2012 4:28 pm

The video game episode was fantastic, I still have the other 2 on TiVO to catch up on.

Britta punching Pierce to death thinking she was pressing a "hug" button had me laughing out loud. I also thought it was great how Troy basically jumped everywhere.

Four seasons and a video game is pretty darn close to six seasons and a movie isn't it?

by **hepcat** » Sat May 19, 2012 8:00 am

I knew someone would eventually create this...

by **Freezer-TPF-** » Sat May 19, 2012 10:36 am

So much fun.

by **hentzau** » Sat May 19, 2012 12:50 pm

Uh oh...Dan Harmon is out as show runner on Community.

This can't be good.

by **hepcat** » Sat May 19, 2012 1:14 pm

Harmon seems like he's difficult to work with, to be honest. I know Chevy Chase is as he has a history of being such, but the number of disgruntled admissions from Harmon's camp and himself on numerous topics paints a somewhat testy picture of the man. I love his work, but I wonder how much of his troubles he's brought on himself?

...but yeah, if he's gone and he's not involved in any way as that blog seems to indicate, the show's probably not going to work for me anymore. I'll give it a shot as they may pull something out of their collective behinds that surprises me, but I'm doubtful.

by **Tommy20** » Sat May 19, 2012 7:01 pm

What's the over/under on finding out Chevy Chase said he'd only return if Harmon was out?

by **Zarathud** » Sat May 19, 2012 11:17 pm

Dan Harmon's twitter doesn't make me feel very sympathetic for him anymore.

Perhaps the network execs had a bet over whether they'd have to fire Chevy Chase or Dan Harmon first.

by **hepcat** » Sun May 20, 2012 8:46 pm

Someone on GT posted this great article in the Hollywood Reporter about how Sony and NBC screwed the pooch on this.

That makes me sad. Under Harmon, Community was constantly shooting for the moon -- no concept too high, no joke too meta. That kamikaze approach didn't always work, but when it did, the results were spectacular. Community isn't my favorite show of all time, but it has produced quite a few of the best sitcom episodes I've ever seen.

by **dedewhale** » Mon May 21, 2012 11:53 am

not sure if this has been posted before...but if even if is was it is worth posting again in honor of Dan Harmon

There was something off about this past Halloween. It took me awhile to realize it, but I think it was the lack of a Halloween episode on Community

So it now seems the show will be airing on October 19 2012, or someday...

Sadly, it seems this past week that Chevy Chase has walked off the show...

by **Carpet_pissr** » Thu Feb 07, 2013 1:58 pm

Wow. That is...wow. Not sure if I even want to watch after reading that. I guess Community, like many series' before it, can now be filed under: "Brilliant show, axed/ruined before its time"

by **AWS260** » Thu Feb 07, 2013 2:28 pm

EW gave it a B+. I'll tune in; it's not like there's never been a bad Community episode before.

by **hepcat** » Thu Feb 07, 2013 2:34 pm

Yeah, I'll still watch to the bitter end (if it comes to that), but the voice of Harmon was so closely integrated into the show...moreso than most...that his absence can't be anything but detrimental to the show.

by **ska5fe** » Thu Feb 07, 2013 2:58 pm

I was planning on skipping season 4 before I even read that nytimes.com article, but now I'm definitely not watching it.

by **Dramatist** » Thu Feb 07, 2013 9:38 pm

I really enjoyed tonights episode.

by **hentzau** » Thu Feb 07, 2013 9:39 pm

The snow-rain (snain?) messed up my satellite. I didn't get to see it.
