Community, the tv show

i also have a drinking problem and have watched other tv shows before, maybe i can run community

not to mention all those abusive voicemails chevy chase has left for me

Satisfying the stupidest people in the world is a job I hope we all fail at

Maybe Harmon can get the Black Sabbath drummer gig.

P. sure getting rid of Harmon is just one facet of an intricately-plotted latticework of decisions that will rocket NBC back to the top of the heap. Or, more likely, this was a decision not unlike the one to burn off and quickly get rid of Bent and Best Friends Forever (i.e. "I'm the new guy so fuck the old guy's stuff why because of my big swinging ego.").

Although, yeah, I'm sure there's some historical precedent a la Letterman and Norm MacDonald and Al Franken. NBC execs don't cotton to guff.

Most executives don't, though, to be fair to NBC (even though they're soulless cretins).

Nov. '09 I joined my favorite show on TV and today leave my favorite anything ever. Thanks Community, fans, and @danharmon. E Pluribus Anus.

9:01pm - 18 May 12

You know, I was going to talk about how much I enjoyed the last few episodes but instead I am just going to back away from this thread

like mordy, i am bummed about this but will watch season 4 regardless

Harmon was horrible at his job and only wanted to get fired and anyone who thinks otherwise is obviously a fan of Community.

lol

I can't count the reasons I should stay
One by one, they all just fade away.

props to Lamp's A+ trolling up there

I will say, I think these last three seasons have had a great arc of Troy growing up. From ditching his letter jacket to what he learns on his 21st birthday to his self-sacrifice/saving of Dan Bakkedahl/ removing the Dreamatorium and getting his own bedroom.

And finally picking a career direction to head in.

it's not like it's that hard to have a public fight with chevy chase, he prob gets in fights with his mailman

I've seen Happy Endings, so I have my doubts. xp

Wait, what? I agree, actually. With your second, corrective post.

finally watched the last three. First two were alright but the last one was the best since timelines if not S2. Really bittersweet way to go out.

x-post Charley Koontz was also on Awake (show we were discussing upthread)

Jim Rash ‏@RashisTVUgly

I owe the last 3 amazing years 2 Dan Harmon's brain. Bless ur dementedly awesome brain, @danharmon. U r #Community.

Alison Brie ‏@alisonbrie

I'm in creative debt to @danharmon who let us ride the coattails of his integrity, pushing boundaries & making f'ing awesome tv. Thanks Dan.

all these mentions are just kinda making me more bummed about it, but it's still sweet

Dino Stamatopoulos ‏@DinosThirdTwitt

Starburns wasn't officially dead until now. That'll get 'em. #danharmon

Dino Stamatopoulos ‏@DinosThirdTwitt

Fuck Sony. I know that they don't care about me, and I don't love acting, but I'd have done the part again ONLY if my friend wanted me to.

Dino Stamatopoulos ‏@DinosThirdTwitt

I used to get Sony VHS tapes and they always sucked. Switched to FUGI. Way better. No crinkling, better SLP playing. #FUCKSONY

haha Dino is perfect

So Megan hasn't announced shit yet, right? What about Ludvig? Who's left of the creative staff?

btw let me sum this all up:

"Shut up Sony/NBC, I know about your crooked wang."
"No such thing as bad press."

good episodes this week but i'll go ahead and be the optimist about s4, Aliens In America was a good show. and in 5 months when you guys are putting every joke in the new episodes under the microscope, I will remind you that the Harmon regime was capable of shit as hacky as 'axel f on the keytar.'

yeah maybe these guys will Chang your mind by ensuring that Chang is no longer the most irritating character on television at the moment

if that is possible, of course

- Leonard lives with Sexy Dreadlock Guy

they all look alike to you

some britisher thinks chang is the most irritating character on tv when the same timeslot has howard's mother on big bang theory. ilx.

Pato is a cape-wearing Australian and as such you have hurt him in his heart. Which is likely the point, so carry on.

So Megan hasn't announced shit yet, right? What about Ludvig? Who's left of the creative staff?

Would suspect Ludwig's not on contract. Ganz sayz:

No new information re: my job next season, but thanks for the support. I have high hopes they'll give me a free Season 3 DVD!

Thanks for the insight, "balls". Unfortunately, I consider that to be "hoarse screaming voice as unsuccessful comedic device" rather than any type of characterisation.

Or, as they say in Britain, up yer plums with a brass pole.

i totally expect the guy who watches 100 shows a year will tell us if s4 still makes the top 50.

the finale got the lowest ratings of the season, that's burn-off for you

i don't think sepinwall watches nearly that many shows and he liked aliens in america iirc though he already wrote his 'uh oh' column.

s3 was def sloppy, and I got more out of 3 shows on ABC this year (plus 30 Rock) than I did community, but has there ever been a case of a show creator getting fired three seasons in where the show actually improved?

3 shows on abc! dude i like revenge also but let's not get carried away here

ha! suburgatory, happy endings and apartment 23 (the last admittedly only a few episodes in). I loved the pilot of revenge but for some reason 5 minutes into the 2nd episode the Dawson's Creek-ness of the poor family running the restaurant made me bail.

some shows have definitely thrived w/o their creators, but "fired three seasons in" is a prohibitively specific criteria so no, probably not

xpost

"fired three seasons in" is a prohibitively specific criteria

broaden it in to "where the creator was fired after a critically hailed run"

wait so you bailed before they revealed emily thorne's sensei?

possibly, though i reserve the right to catch up

Aw, really, croup? You loved s2 as much as I did but preferred Suburgatory and Apartment 23 to s3? I think we actually agreed on where the show was dropping off this season but I still thought there were enough great episodes.

there were great episodes but I think those shows have been way more consistent and surprising. Admittedly they're in season 1 and not following my favorite season of TV experienced in real-time since the simpsons.
