Community, the tv show

annie walks in on jeff in the shower

xp That would be ideal, just pretend s4 never happened, start from the end of s3.

it can go on for TWENTY seasons if they just keep resetting the timeline, no biggie.

man i'm really hoping after the last episode that the word 'timeline' never comes up in this show again

ha, i didn't realise i'd done that, i've been indoctrinated to the show's vocabulary. OMG WOULDNT IT BE AWESOME IF THE HAD A SEASON FOR EACH OF THE 7 TIMELINES OMG OMG~~~~~.

You should see the face that post made me make, it was pretty impressive.

I am imagining it was a bit like this:

I am doing a bad job of writing/posting today, never mind me.

Entire seasons should be genre seasons: a stop-motion season, a paintball season, a musical season...

this thread can turn into just a series of gifs of DJP's facial contortions.

eventually they will all morph into this:

looks like Harmon's back then.

Yup

Now I have to consider watching this show again, which mean watching season 4.

It doesn't mean that at all.

so rumor has it that joel mchale thought s4 was so shitty, he strongly lobbied for harmon back? bless him.

The completist in me means it does, unfortunately. xpost.

it would be awesome if the ssn 5 premiere was a continuation of the ssn 3 finale with no mention of anything that happened in Ssn 4 ever, not even a "that was a crazy dream."

Harmon did mention a few weeks ago that he hasn't watched any of the season 4 episodes

what an unlikely turn of events! probably helped that Chevy is out

Responding to the news of Harmon's return, Community star Gillian Jacobs offered some words of appreciation to the show's creator. "Welcome back, @danharmon!" she tweeted. "E Pluribus Anus!"

The completist in me means it does, unfortunately. xpost.

just watch Jim Rash's episode, really

One thing that will definitely be part of his more immediate plans: Finally watching season four, which Harmon still swears he hasn’t seen yet, and maybe even doing so as part of a special feature for the forthcoming DVDs. “Sony said they’re very interested in recording me watching it as a commentary track,” Harmon said, acknowledging that doing so “would move season four DVDs, for sure.”

my overall reaction is "SAVE THE DRAMA FOR ON-CAMERA"

I am certain whatever Harmon will do will be better than the end of S4 but I will actually be surprised if it's appreciably better than the good S4 episodes; this whole scenario brings out the screaming skeptic in me

Having said that, due to my pathological willingness to be entertained I'm sure I will greatly enjoy S5 and it will be hard NOT to see it as a "return to form" after that horrible season ender

my overall reaction is "SAVE THE DRAMA FOR ON-CAMERA"

I stopped watching mid-way through season 4 but still feel Harmon doing a commentary on the season to be a very shitty thing to do.

can't wait for a year from now when people start saying here "ah, season 4 really wasn't that bad, guys" (cause it wasn't!)

lol read my S4 posts in this thread, I'm already on that bandwagon aside from the fucking horrible season ender which was pandering horseshit

I think my expectations were so flattened by the end that I could only see the finale in terms of whatever mild chuckles it brought. I chuckled a couple of times, so Yay! Good episode! The "it was all a dream" didn't even bother me at the time since they seemed way past caring by that point.

I would almost prefer Harmon never watch Season 4 or address its existence at all. Treat it like Squeeze or Cut The Crap; pretend it never happened.

there were three episodes this season where I sat stonefaced with nary a lol; two of them were written by Megan Ganz

(actually I did lol at Pierce's sex dungeon, so that's overstatement)

In reality, not much of consequence did happen this season, aside from Jeff graduating. I can see Harmon wanting to declare that episode with jeff's dad non-canon and doing something better with that storyline

I think I laughed once or twice during the Inspector Spacetime convention episode. It at least seemed like the least-shitty, even with that horrible Annie-playing-marriage subplot.

But I wonder if the writing credit goes to the writer who came up with the idea, or the one who actually wrote the bulk of it, or both, or neither (meaning, the crapulence may not be due to Ganz).

That was probably my least favorite of the ones I watched from season 4.

I thought the run from the Inspector Spacetime convention through the Sophie B Hawkins dance were all good (with "Herstory of Dance" and "Economics of Marine Biology" easily being the best of the season)

"Herstory of Dance" was my one keeper from s4, although I didn't watch the last few. (Did the girl - Rachel? - ever come back??) Agree with Nicole: the Inspector Spacetime convention episode was kind of heartbreaking.

I'm sure I remember Troy taking Abed aside and whispering something about his "recent divorce".

Yeah, Herstory definitely the best of the season. And no, Rachel never came back. Seems like in s4 they either left loose ends lying around, or tied them up in the clumsiest manner imaginable (Jeff's dad, Troy & Britta's breakup).

abed never gets to keep a girlfriend longer than one episode

they need to make take steps to make Abed less Sheldon imo

well right now one way is "don't let him have a girlfriend"

well i haven't seen much recent BBT, did they finally break the asexuality barrier?

he's been dating blossom for years

they haven't had sex yet though

...so glad i don't watch that show

it was much, much funnier than Community this year
