Or at least continuing the show in general.

They won't be able to cope without Pierce in the group, they'll descend into even worse infighting than usual.
― Matt DC, Monday, 16 May 2011 15:21 (twelve years ago) link
I much preferred the embarassing trying-too-hard Pierce from S1 to the evil cave troll of the second season
This and the new version of Chang are s2's only weaknesses imo.

all the blog thinkpieces about how one or both of them is ruining the show or whatever are pretty ridic though

If this show is going to for seven years, it's going to need to somehow roll out the red carpet for my mom in the third season, without alienating the fans that we have who love nothing more than the unpredictable nature of the show, people I'm compulsively unable to betray because I'm one of them.

I haven't read any blog thinkpieces about this show. Like I said, I think s2 could be my favourite season of any TV show I've seen. I just think those two characters have grown weaker this season.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Monday, 16 May 2011 17:54 (twelve years ago) link
I seem to be in the minority for thinking S2 Abed is the problem.
― Simon H. Shit (Simon H.), Monday, 16 May 2011 18:04 (twelve years ago) link
probably, yeah! Abed's been killing it.

If you think there's a "problem" with S2 it's you

i'm not v communal because i want s3 to be mostly just be about troy abed and annie

the idea of the Abed character frequently seems like it should be so lame and meta and tryhard but the actual execution of the writing and how Pudi's played it has so often been just amazing
― suggest ban the subbest man (some dude), Monday, 16 May 2011 18:43 (twelve years ago) link
nothing wrong with Pudi's performance at all, I just don't think it redeems the, as you say, lame meta-ness
― Simon H. Shit (Simon H.), Monday, 16 May 2011 18:55 (twelve years ago) link
i'm with some dude - it totally does! i mean that My Dinner With Andre episode basically redeemed him for the lifetime of the entire series
cool x 5
― Nhex, Monday, 16 May 2011 21:46 (twelve years ago) link
I even really like the idea of Abed's character, actually.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Tuesday, 17 May 2011 01:19 (twelve years ago) link
early in the show's run when Abed's whole participation in the show was just the occasional one liner addressed out beyond the 4th wall, i didn't care for him, but now he just kind of busts through the wall and sprints around the room in these increasingly entertaining ways.

abed in cougar town cameo hilarious

I will now watch my first episode of Cougar Town.

Show's actually not bad, but not really amazing either. Kind of like season 4/5 Scrubs.
― Nhex, Thursday, 26 May 2011 02:07 (twelve years ago) link
Wait, did Abed show up already?
yes. got my biggest lol of the night.
― Mordy, Thursday, 26 May 2011 02:08 (twelve years ago) link
Was he Abed or Danny Pudi?
― WHO THE FUCK READS THE (a hoy hoy), Thursday, 26 May 2011 04:03 (twelve years ago) link
I think it's pretty clearly a reference back to My Dinner with Abed
― Mordy, Thursday, 26 May 2011 04:04 (twelve years ago) link
The trade is complete between the two shows
― Nhex, Thursday, 26 May 2011 04:27 (twelve years ago) link
I know it was a ref but was he Abed as a character or just an actor as a character?
― WHO THE FUCK READS THE (a hoy hoy), Thursday, 26 May 2011 04:57 (twelve years ago) link
well, they didn't call him by name and probably either interpretation is valid. i think it's clearly abed tho, since he pretty much does what he says he did in the Dinner with Andre ep

I didn't even notice Abed in the background until my husband texted me (he was watching elsewhere) with "Abed is on Cougar Town!!" I got the text about 7 seconds before the end of the scene. I am seriously unobservant.
Also, I like Cougar Town a lot more than I want to. Buck's sad/happy songs last night brought serious lolz.
― franny glass, Thursday, 26 May 2011 15:47 (twelve years ago) link
i'm not sure how i felt about the Scrubs cameo. that show really destroyed any good will it had left w/ me by the end of the run.

haha it actually really bugged me that Courtney Cox wasn't in the scene since that was part of Abed's story

Dan Harmon's on WTF today:
