Community, the tv show

Yeah, was going to say I thought they handled Troy's absence pretty well.

one thing i noticed in the commentaries for the early seasons was how they made a point of basing scenes/stories around every possible pairing or grouping of characters and found a way to make those people funny together. things like the Troy/Abed superfriendship reduced that as time went on, so it was fun to see that approach return a bit in season 5.

Hoping the cast fatalism is long game minded - why curb audience heartbreak when it could only increase chance of cc/Hulu pick-up. But either way, wahhhhhh. Why u give me good season 5 when hit or miss s3 followed by zombie s4 let me down more gradually?

Harmon is in town doing a podcast taping tomorrow that I'm going to try to attend. We'll see what he says.

Rick and Morty having been picked up for a 2nd season softens the blow considerably, I gotta say.

Wish they'd at least marketed it as a farewell season instead of literally putting "six seasons and a movie" in the network promo

Rick and Morty isn't that good, though

maybe they'll make up for the lost season and give us a Ben Hur length movie

tbh I would rather have a movie chronicling Alison Brie's Smirnoff party with Adam Scott

It sucks that the show had to go out on such a low note. The season 5 finale was a mess.

uh yeah if S5 finished on a high note, I could live with this

(Don't worry, they'll be back on some streaming thing.)

i'm honestly kinda fine with it ending. liked season 5 fine but I never felt this needed to be a long-tenured series. if anything I'd have been happier if 4 never happened and 5 replaced 4 and it had more of a definitive end.

I said this above and I stand by it - had S5 been a normal length season, with a bit more light and shade, and character development between the novelty episodes, it would have been fine. But it felt rushed - cf the David Cross character in the subpar D&D episode - and suffered as a result.

super-nice of them to time this leak for the return of Harmontown

stevie otm

Harmontown. Dan is not nearly as upset by the news as you'd think he'd be.

Jeff is taller and skinnier than you'd expect.

I proved empirically than I am taller than Dan Harmon.

Oh yeah, and this happened:

Made the whole weekend festival worth it. He'll happily talk to anybody afterwards about Joseph Campbell, the Dead Alewives, etc.

Dan is not nearly as upset by the news as you'd think he'd be.

I think he's relived, tbh. The show will forever hang around his neck like a ship's anchor.

great photos kingfish!! lucky dog!

This may nag at me forever.

the meteor got them too

I do not watch Girls, but I might watch these specific episodes: http://www.avclub.com/article/gillian-jacobs-joins-season-four-girls-204914

this news confirms for me that i dislike girls more than i like gillian jacobs

haha

great moments in sentences being typed out without the titles of things being capitalized

capitalization fascist

lol mordy

6th season on Hulu?

and a movie (on vimeo plus or something)

do not want

i love community but sometimes a show can just be cancelled surely

Yeah, otm. Even if everyone's on board and Glover comes back, I can't see getting to excited about this. I loved the show, and I'm ok with it being over.

*too

bring glover back and i'm down. otherwise, just let it die. it's entering galactica 80 zone now.

Community season 6 will be the adventures of Troy and Levar Burton on their world cruise

I actually WOULD watch that.

take a look

it's in a book

a pair of reading rainBROS

I feel like Harmon in that I'm cool with it ending but i certainly won't be the person that keeps me from watching s6.

I present this as a point of information.

yahoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

for the life of me i cannot figure what the game plan is at yahoo but hey if you're gonna burn money either way i approve of this effort

did the Arrested Development thing work out well for Netflix? it seems like reviving a cult comedy is a decent idea for a streaming service but creating dramas that people will want to binge watch ended up being far more beneficial to them. if nothing else it beats Amazon Prime's strategy of creating new half hour comedies that nobody gives a damn about enough to even form a cult around.

i don't think "yahoo screen" a netflix/amazon prime type deal in the first place

smart in that i now know there is something called yahoo screen

it's basically a wanna-be youtube so this will be ad revenue-based not subscriber

oh wait they removed the ability to upload, so i guess it's a wanna-be hulu only with no network content?

https://screen.yahoo.com/

the future is now

"ugh, i hate going to hulu to watch snl clips and going to youtube to watch vevo shit! there HAS to be a better way!"

"now there is!"
