I caught replays of the first two episodes. McHale and Chase's Spanish presentation was outstanding, as was everything Ken Jeong said. Good recommendation, dudes. I finally see your worth.

Britta: "That's a tad bit racist."
Shirley: "Is it racist?"

Troy sneezes like a girl.
Shirley says something about him sneezing like a girl and gives Troy advice.

Am I missing some reference or is that not the kind of meta-humor I was talking about at all?
I was referring to the implied comparison of Winger to Ryan Seacrest, when every other joke on The Soup involves McHale relentlessly ripping on Seacrest.
Or Pierce saying of Britta "she's ugly!" a la Clark in Vacation.
This show is kind of like Arrested Development in this respect (think Barry Zuckerkorn jumping the shark, or Ron Howard's occasional self-references).

Oh, and by the way, if you didn't know this already, Annie also is Trudy (Pete's wife) from Mad Men, and she's HOT. And, at least on Mad Men, she's infertile so just bang away.
Annie was also in something called "Hot Sluts." So, she's got
that going for her.

QuoteAlison Brie is a little known American actress who admitted to being a nudist on Last Call with Carson Daly.
Actress Alison Brie's college classmates know the star's every womanly curve - because she frequently stripped down and ran around her campus completely naked.
The Mad Men and Community star loved peeling off her clothes, swinging from trees and impersonating animals in the nude to call attention to herself.
And though the Californian admits she wasn't shy about walking around in the buff in between classes, Brie insists now that she's a TV star her wildest days are yet to come.
She says, "In college I was ready to unleash the fury. I was a bit of a nudist in college. It was so fun. It was more of a humorous thing - clothing is optional everywhere but the cafeteria... It really depended on my mood, (and if) I was having a good day... Picture me naked swinging from the trees butt ass naked. It's funny. I do really good naked animal impressions."

QuoteAlison Brie recalls her wild college days
World Entertainment News Network
Sept. 15, 2009, 10:34AM
Actress Alison Brie's college classmates know the star's every womanly curve - because she stripped down and ran around her campus naked during a "nudist" phase.
The Mad Men star loved peeling off her clothes, swinging from trees and impersonating animals in the nude to make her former roommate laugh.
And though the Californian admits she wasn't shy about walking around in the buff in between classes, Brie insists now that she's a TV star her wildest days are over,
She says, "In college I was ready to unleash the fury. I was a bit of a nudist in college. It was so fun. It was more of a humorous thing - clothing is (sic) optional everywhere but the cafeteria... It really depended on my roommate's mood, (and if) I felt like she was having a bad day... Picture me naked swinging from the tree (naked). It's funny. I do really good naked animal impressions."
And, if we can't trust the World Entertainment News Network wire service for accurate celebrity reporting, who in this big, crazy world
can we trust?

Yeah, I know it's a community college so they're probably only taking 1 or 2 courses, but can't they figure out a way to get some other professors involved? How about more John Michael Higgins? Or even Duncan? Or just get Alison Brie topless?

Thank you. I decided to give this show a shot and this was the episode I got, thinking it was the first one. Holy crap was that character hysterical. That scene was awesome. Cheers to that actor who once portrayed Pete Gillen portraying David Letterman in that one movie before doing all of those Christopher Guest films.

Duncan's already featured in two out of the five episodes so far. And I'm sure we'll see more of him yet, cockblocking Jeff from the psychiatrist's chair and otherwise being a total asshole.
Can't agree more on Chang, though.

Also, if you go to a community college don't you generally drive to the building and then drive home or to work or whatever? I sure as fuck wouldn't hang out on the "quad" that most community colleges don't even have. Maybe I'm blissfully ignorant.

The only one of the regular Thursday night shows I watched tonight before switching over to that back-alley abortion of a Thursday night game. Regrettable decision.
One of my favorite episodes yet.
One for the Annie fans.
My God, that scene ruled.
Yeah, that was a great episode, the good vs. evil debate was outstanding. And I've been lukewarm on Chevy Chase on this show but the hypnotism scenes were gold.
I think he's got a free pass from me with the GDB song and the scene where he was trapped in the keyboard set up. And of course the episode where he's tripping balls was epic.
Him tripping over the instruments was physical comedy at its finest.

I'm just glad this show got funny again. Even Chevy Chase was funny.
I need to stop reading the AV Club recaps of every episode. They rob me of the ability to have an original thought about how great the episode was.
http://www.avclub.com/articles/investigative-journalism,37115/
QuoteOf course, all of this deconstruction of television theory wouldn't matter much if the episode weren't funny, and, fortunately, this was yet another really great episode in a very consistent run the show's been on lately. I'd, honestly, wager that I don't laugh at any comedy on TV right now more than I laugh at this one, and this episode is another good example of all of the things the show does well. It has terrific pop culture gags (like all of the M*A*S*H references, right down to the final freeze frame), some really great physical comedy and the character-based stuff the show is already doing so well. There's something about a great comedy ensemble gradually coming together that's thrilling to watch, and the cast here is starting to find ways to play to every individual member's strengths. Just look at how someone like Troy, even though he had basically nothing to do tonight, is so enjoyable just hanging out in the background and reacting to what's going on.
I liked last night's episode, but the writers shouldn't tease us like that re: Senor Chang. They built up our hopes only to knock them back down mere moments later.
That was almost as bad as Jeff saying, "Annie's kind of young... We try not to sexualize her."

Jack Black sucks. Plain and simple. Annie and Britta in cheerleading uniforms wrestling in a pool of soapy water was awesome, though. I was definitely excited that Senor Chang was written off, but man I had a feeling I was going to get kicked in the nuts. He's terrible.

Total agreeancement. Jack Black is a comedy assassin, and that episode was wholly underwhelming. The M*A*S*H stuff was quite great, though.
I was wondering if all that was written in the script was "Jack Black does some Jack Black shit here".

I told EIAN that I would have laughed more if I knew anything about MASH (and if Jack Black were dead).
Nothing? I thought it was a great rebound episode after the only disappointing one so far. Jeff's teacher/girlfriend is stupidly hot. I loved how they set up the scene when Jeff was hesitant to kiss in the library for fear that the blinds would fly open with their earlier discussion of the locked back door. I really like the writing on this show.

I thought the opening scene and the first couple after that were some of the best so far on this show, but it slowly died down a bit as the episode went on. Pierce's comments throughout the dance performance were excellent, though. And the short bits during the credits are always awesome.

Agreed. This might be my favorite episode yet. I loved the little wink when Annie said how good Don Draper was. I don't know if this makes sense, but where and how the humor arises from episode to episode is so different and fresh.

Going off Kerm's comment, this show somehow pulls off random pop culture references and random humor and crazy physical comedy and sappy stuff and big set pieces, with a different mix each week. Very impressive.

You could also draw some similarities between Troy/Slater (dumb minority jock), Annie/Jessie (smart, neurotic and in love with the dumb minority jock), Shirley/Lisa (gossipy black girl), Pierce/Mr. Belding (old, doesn't understand new things and just wants to be a part of the group), Abed/Screech (weird, skinny sidekick who's kind of irritating but everyone likes him anyway). Not sure that Britta works as Kelly, other than being the cool main character's main love interest.

Anyone else catch Abed's "Thirteen" when the bag-gulls fell on the floor? I thought that was awesome.
I did catch that at the time, but I do like that this show is willing to let jokes like that go unnoticed or fade into the background.
Like various reaction shots from Abed and Troy.
Or White Abed saying to Brown Joey, "let's go, slumdog" as they faded to commercial.

I would be okay if Britta just faded away like the jokes that Tank mentioned.

For being kind of a weird, throwaway joke, the "Shut up Leonard, nobody even knows what you're talking about!" part was one of the funniest things I've seen on this show yet.

I agree. I've found him pretty funny the past few episodes.
The only thing I liked about the spanking scene was that Britta's boobs were a little more visible. I do like the hardcore GrandmaTroy. "Find me a switch."
I never want to see Winger cry again. Oh, and Pearce was funny again.
This won't stop until Pictionary bans the word "windmill."

Silly JD...BK's too good for the SBox. And, I understand fully that Annie is supposed to be aloof and innocent and that that's the joke. I just want the writers to let her get nekkid. Or in a bikini...or boy shorts. You got a problem with that, homo?

I agree with Eli. I love the way Community makes all kinds of movie references, and makes then fairly blatant. It's funny and pretty awesome. I'm hating Britta a little less. The one thing that pissed me off about this episode was that Annie was shot way too early. My God, she drives me crazy.
Just watched it again.

My favorite part of the episode may have been Troy randomly working on a computer when Abed brought Jeff in to their lair. I bet he was using a resistance uplink to hack into the Chess Club's mainframe.
I disagree about this show being uneven. About 90% of the episodes have been awesome to very awesome.
Of course, the black guy was the first one to go.

I agree with Eli. I love the way Community makes all kinds of movie references, and makes then fairly blatant. It's funny and pretty awesome. I'm hating Britta a little less. The one thing that pissed me off about this episode was that Annie was shot way too early. My God, she drives me crazy.
I was a little letdown by most of the deaths. They could have done so much more. I was really hoping that Britta would have been shot in the back as she was kissing Jeff after they banged. It was disappointing that most of them just stood there and then walked away. The takedown of the shooters in the trees was fantastic.

So you found the "deaths" a bit anti-climactic? Like Shirley saying she was going home? I'm sure that wasn't totally the point or anything.

How was it terrible? Like Fork said, the blacks were among the first to go. Annie was shot in the bewbs. Senor Chang was shot by Winger via the colliding paintball in midair. C'mon, Weebs. Stop hating good things.

Everything about this show is just awesome. I wonder if they're going to continue spoofing different film genres like they did the past couple of weeks. If they are, I approve wholeheartedly. Jeff's first introduction to the post-paintbacolpyse world was outstanding. I honestly thought it was a dream sequence at first.

I hope this show never ends.

So, aside from all the other hilarity in this episode (e.g., "am I black boobs?"), I actually managed to laugh out loud at two separate Chang lines: "I will find a loophole" and "Britta! Britta! Your lipstick looks better."

Yeah, it's way too original to be Parks.
I think troy is my MVP for season 1. Used properly, he brings the constant funny. The happy days line was my favorite of the show.
The show is more than outstanding, especially when it comes to playing with cliches.
"Study's over".
I thought it was awesome that they managed to bring back pretty much every supporting character that was in this season, including the Daily Show Brit. And I agree that Troy consistently brought the most laughs. His breakdown to Pierce about making him look like the Cookie Crunch wizard, despite not even getting the reference, was one of the highlights of the show.

Is it really that original though? The characters certainly aren't original. It has a cool male leader/nerd girl/black woman/minority jock/weird guy/old guy cast. When does the Saved By the Bell parody episode come out? Think of the possibilities. Jeff calling time out; Annie singing about how she's so excited; Shirley writing a gossip column in the school newspaper with juicy tidbits about the study group. There, I just wrote a Community episode outline in 20 seconds while hungover.
And it's not like no one else has ever done the constant pop culture reference thing. I found it ironic that Jeff Winger yelled at the Glee kids "Write some original songs!" when the very show he is on bases all of its own material on things that have already been done in other shows and movies. Then again, maybe Dan Harmon was making another amazing quadruple-meta joke that flew over my head.*
* And yeah, I'm mostly just pissed that Parks was bumped in the fall, so I've decided to irrationally hate Community now even though I actually like the show.

ALL of its material? I don't think so. They base a lot of their plots on basic sitcom tropes, and there is a lot of reference humor, but there are also a lot of really, really funny jokes that are just funny jokes.

Ivy6 is right, and you're all just being grumpy assholes. This show is original, and it's the shit. Troy is definitely the best character. I want to reiterate how funny it was when he stole the chalk during the Good Will Hunting episode.

Patton Oswalt was 100% amazing.
Keeping Abed in the background the entire episode as he helped deliver a baby was an interesting choice. I almost missed him a couple of times. Perhaps Dan Harmon was trying to make a statement that, sometimes, we can pay too much attention to death and ignore life as it's going on around us? Also, the three seconds of Annie and Britta wrestling was totally boner!
Double also: More John Oliver, please.
DPD. I think people who obsess over TV ratings are little bit strange, but it's worth mentioning that Community's ratings keep getting worse. It's even falling well behind
Springtime for Hitler Outsourced at this point, which just makes me sad.
In fact, Dan Harmon is
figuratively on the verge (http://twitter.com/danharmon/status/26682560374) of killing himself:
QuoteIt's not an appeal, it's just information. I have a gun in my mouth. If I get a 2, I put it in a drawer. 1.9, on the desk. 1.8, BANG.
He was at a 1.7 last night, so someone should probably check his house.

On the plus side, if Community is cancelled, Harmon will have more time to write humorous tweets.

And the part where Abed told Shirley not much had happened in the past week was outstanding.
Also, Donald Glover is rapidly turning into my favorite person on television.

I wish more people would watch this show. It's placement at the beginning of the Thursday night block is a shame. If anything it should be Outsourced (if it's destined to stay), 30 Rock, The Office, and Community.

I didn't like it, personally. The Abed storyline dragged. I think they've always used him as a buffer between the audience and the show's characters, but they sort of broke through that here and it gave everything a really weird tone. Maybe I would have appreciated it if I had seen more Charlie Kaufman movies.

Agreed. I also liked it because there was hardly any Jeff and Brita. I needed a break from them. I also loved the bit at the end when they all tried to dress and talk like Jeff.

Annie and boobs.
Nothing? I thought it was ballsy and awesome. I expected the "it was all a dream" ending, and I thought it was gutsy that they didn't use it. Troy's, "IS SOMEONE THROWING IT?" with the cat was outstanding.
I don't know if it's an homage or a mockery, but the the I Am Legend scene at the end with Abed and Troy was funny.

Annie took her sweater off.
Also, Shirley and Troy and the whole "Lord, forgive him" thing made me laugh. So did Perce's statistical reason for Troy being the pen theif.
I guess Jeff's date being named "Gwynnifer" on last night's episode was a reference (http://blog.commarts.wisc.edu/2010/11/11/replying-with-the-enemy-showrunners-on-twitter-ii/) to some random Twitter user who has been antagonizing Harmon for awhile now, similar to the "streets ahead" reference from last season.
I was initially inclined to think he was joking, but he's been doing it so often that I'm starting to think he's just really insecure. From last night:

I guess Jeff's date being named "Gwynnifer" on last night's episode was a reference (http://blog.commarts.wisc.edu/2010/11/11/replying-with-the-enemy-showrunners-on-twitter-ii/) to some random Twitter user who has been antagonizing Harmon for awhile now, similar to the "streets ahead" reference from last season.
I was initially inclined to think he was joking, but he's been doing it so often that I'm starting to think he's just really insecure. From last night:

I'd like him to know that I agree. The gimmick episodes are fun, but it was good to see them do nothing but play off character interaction. Really well done.

Thanks, Lost. Sepinwall had a rehash (http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/whats-alan-watching/posts/community-abeds-uncontrollable-christmas-cartoon-holiday) of episodes they've done so far this season. It's amazing that they've pulled off such a wide range of weird shit (and made it hilarious) on network TV.
Quote"Anthropology 101": Fairly traditional episode, resolving season one cliffhanger about Annie/Jeff/Britta triangle, establishing the study group's new class and dealing with overall tensions within the group.
"Accounting for Lawyers": Jeff Winger origin story, taking the show onto unfamiliar physical turf but still with familiar weirdness (the hole in Drew Carey's hand, Annie chloroforming the guard, pop-and-lock tournament).
"The Psychology of Letting Go": Circle of life episode, dealing with birth (an entire Easter egg-style Abed subplot playing out in the background of other scenes), death (Pierce's mom) and sex appeal.
"Basic Rocket Science": All-reference, all-the-time, ala the paintball episode from season one, this time with astronaut movies.
"Messianic Myths and Ancient Peoples": A mix of meta (Abed's movie about making movies), character-based comedy (Pierce and Shirley each feeling left out of the crowd) and cultural/religious parody.
"Epidemiology": Another 100% pop culture episode, this time with zombies.
"Aerodynamics of Gender": Mix of an Abed character story (albeit one with references of its own) and the deliberately goofy, random trampoline story.
"Cooperative Calligraphy": Character-driven bottle show with a bare minimum of meta and/or reference humor.
"Conspiracy Theories and Interior Design": Another parody-style episode, this time riffing on conspiracy thrillers.
"Mixology Certification": Dark, kitchen sink-style realistic comedy, ala "Taxi."
"Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas": Stop-motion animated episode that's at once an homage to TV Christmas specials and a fairly intense, moving Abed character study.
We can argue about how much each of these episodes worked on their own, or even in combination (the "Apollo 13" and zombie episodes probably should have been spaced further apart, for instance), but that's still a pretty damned impressive show of versatility in only 11 episodes, demonstrating how these characters and this world can be used to tell so many different kinds of stories with so many different kinds of tones.

It's been a pretty outstanding season. Lots of hits and really, for me, only one big strikeout-looking with the Messianic Myths episode (though I know others liked that one). I'm happy to see that a few more people are tuning in each week now.
Really? I thought they finally found a format that felt totally contrived. And the actors sounded really uncomfortable doing voiceover work. This season has been absolutely top-notch, but I thought this episode was by far the weakest one they've ever done.

Considering how bad the singing was, I'm guessing the voiceover work (esp. McHale) was intentionally bad.

So has anyone other than Tank seen My Dinner with Andre (http://www.avclub.com/articles/critical-film-studies,53528/)?
QuoteWhat's amazing about this is that "Critical Film Studies" IS actually a pretty direct movie homage, perhaps the most direct one the movie has made. But because it's a movie not a lot of people have seen and because it's such a low-concept movie, the show gets away with it. I saw My Dinner With Andre in high school because Roger Ebert raved about it, and it sounded like exactly the kind of pretentious bullshit I would enjoy at the time.

Harmon: There was a division among the writing staff about the name, because those of us who are relatively older know that Poochie is that dog from "The Simpsons" that they created for "Ichy and Scratchy." The joke was that it's just this stupid character who's all sizzle and no steak; he's just a manufactured catchphrase-driven character. So not only was there another character named Poochie, but their comedic territories overlapped. So the old-timers on the staff had to insist that we had to give him a new name.
The
old-timers.
How depressing is that?
OK... Tonight's episode is the shit in every way.

Thank you. As I watched it this morning, my first thought during that scene was "that's a .gif waiting to happen" and I knew I would want to see said .gif.
Interested in what Fro has to say about this, Eli? I know you are
I just recovered from this episode. Secksiness drips off Alison Brie. I'm in love.

QuoteWhen watching the hugely entertaining season finale of Community this week, something occurred to me. If Parks and Recreation, in its ever-expanding world and portrayal of small-town city politics and governing systems, can be equated as the comedy equivalent of The Wire (and given creator Michael Schur's clear interest in that show, and how they are essentially the mirror image of how government works and doesn't work in modern America), then I think you could make a reasonable case for Community as the comedy equivalent of Deadwood.
Remember Abed's whole story about getting to be an extra on
Cougar Town??
QuoteYou laugh, Jeff, but the people were wonderful, you know, not just the actors, but the crew, everyone. There must have been 200 people, each with a specific function, but all dedicated to a single purpose. It was like a village or like a living thing. And, you know, I'm talking to the director, and he says, "Why don't you jump into the background?" I say, "Nah, wait a minute. Jump into the background of what exactly?" And he says, "Jump into the background of this scene. Walk through it. Walk through Cougar Town..."Well, before I can react, this girl takes me by the hand, and she stands me behind this patio where Courtney Cox and the actors are doing their scene. And the girl says, "Now, when you hear 'action,' I want you to walk from here to there," right? That's when I really started to panic, Jeff, because if I'm a person that watches Cougar Town, how can I be in Cougar Town? You know, and the more I start thinking about it, the less any of it makes any sense at all. And I just want to turn and run, but it's too late, because the director's calling "action." So before I take my first step, I realize that I have to stop being someone who's ever seen the show and become a character on the show. Become a man from Cougar Town...You know, someone born there, someone whose name, I decide, is Chad. And I take my first step, as a child might, learning to walk as Chad. And with each step, it becomes easier. And with each step, I start remembering things from Chad's life, like his first kiss under the big tree at Cougar Town field...Playing soccer at Cougar Town Junior High... Finding my first chest hair in the shower, my first apartment, my first true love falling for my best friend, birthdays, weddings, car crashes, taxes, playing charades at Thanksgiving. Chad had lived, Jeff. You know, Chad had lived more than Abed. And then they called "cut," and the scene was over. But I wasn't ready to stop being Chad, so I said to the director,"Can we have one more take?" But they were already moving on. Courtney had nailed it. My lips started trembling, and my... my hands and my feet went numb. My... my knees buckled, and as I fell to the floor...I pooped my pants. I did... Because the truth is, Jeff, I had been Chad, and Chad was dead. But as Abed, I was still alive, so someone helped me up. And the wardrobe lady came over. She gave me new pants. I thanked everyone, I apologized, and then I just got on a bus and went straight to the airport...
If I'm a person that watches Cougar Town, how can I be in Cougar Town?

Huey, how did you fare on these online tests (http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/09/mf_harmon/)?
QuoteWhen he began writing Community, Harmon thought the character he related to most was Winger, who had "all the defense mechanisms that I acquired," Harmon says. But the more online tests for Asperger's he took, the more he began to wonder if he was just as similar to Abed. It had never occurred to him before, he says, because he has always been so oversensitive.
Eventually, Harmon met with a doctor and came to understand that symptoms of the disorder lie on a spectrum, and that in fact there is a place on it for people with inappropriate emotional reactions and deep empathy. Harmon now sees that he may fit somewhere on that spectrum, though figuring out exactly where could take years.

QuoteOn ABC, CBS or FOX, the woefully rated Community would have been canceled, probably long ago. But on the primetime trainwreck that is NBC it's on its third season. The network, plus the fact that after four season's worth of episodes it can be sold into syndication (and co-producer Sony has shown it will slash the fees to achieve that for a sitcom), means that even with cringe worthy ratings, Community is no worse than a "toss up", and is probably a bit better than that.

Not cool, not cool, not cool, not cool.

Quote from: @brianstelter"Community" is definitely NOT cancelled, NYT's Bill Carter says, two cubicles over. NBC says it'll be off the air for only a brief time.
http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/whats-alan-watching/posts/nbcs-mid-season-schedule-benches-community-kills-prime-suspect-brings-back-30-rock
Quote"30 Rock" will be on Thursdays at 8 in place of our friends from Greendale Community College (while "Whitney" lives to laughtrack another day), and "The Firm" will take over the Thursday at 10 o'clock timeslot where "Prime Suspect" has been steadily getting better. NBC says "Community" will be back at some point, on a date and time TBD, while "Prime Suspect" will probably just finish out its initial 13-episode order and go back to the hat store in the sky.
...
But "Community" has essentially been on a kamikaze mission for a long time now, going up against "The Big Bang Theory" and one of "American Idol" or "The X Factor" for a while now. It aired after "The Office" briefly at the start of its first season and has had to go it alone ever since. "Whitney," which gets to stay on the schedule - albeit swapping timeslots with "Up All Night" - has done better entirely because of that "Office" lead-in, and has been bleeding viewers almost as quickly as it's been arousing critical pans. "Community" is a mess ratings-wise, but it's one of NBC's few shows that still draws largely unabashed love from critics (and from its shrinking but passionate group of fans). Pulling it off the schedule temporarily given the ratings is understandable; pulling it off the schedule while leaving "Whitney" on is not. Either show is going to do the same pathetic numbers on Wednesdays at 8 - away from its "Office" cocoon, "Whitney" could easily do worse than "Community" would - and one move at least buys continued goodwill from the press and viewers, whereas there's no one outside the immediate families of Whitney Cummings and Chris D'Elia who will be happy that show continues to air, week after week.
"Community" isn't canceled. There will still be a bunch of episodes to air for the rest of this season, and while I try to look at the show as living on borrowed time - it's somewhat miraculous we'll be getting around 70 episodes, mimimum, of such an idiosyncratic, brilliant comedy - given the way NBC's fortunes have gone lately, I can easily see the new product failing so utterly that NBC pulls a "Chuck" and decides to stick with a known, albeit small, audience for a beloved show. (It also may help that "Community" is produced by Sony, which jumped through hoops to get FOX to keep making "Til Death" episodes for the syndication money a few years back.)
Revised line-ups...
QuoteWEDNESDAY: "Whitney" moves here to 8 p.m. on January 11, followed by "Are You There, Chelsea?" (formerly "Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea"), a sitcom about the young life of talk show host Chelsea Handler, played here by Laura Prepon. (Handler has a supporting role as her own sister.) "Rock Center with Brian Williams," which has been dying on Mondays at 10, will likely do just as poorly here at 9, followed by "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit."
Laura Prepon is... Chelsea Handler!
Holy shit, that sounds like an awful block of television.
QuoteTHURSDAY: "30 Rock" is back at 8 on January 12, followed by "Parks and Recreation" (unscathed in the madness, blessedly), "The Office," "Up All Night" (which NBC understandably believes in a lot more than "Whitney") and "The Firm," with Josh Lucas in the Tom Cruise role.

QuoteI looked a little more closely at more recent results (since 10/31) in with an eye towards potentially adjusting predictions as we near the mid-season mark, and as NBC's scripted shows slide towards the cancellation bear, most are sliding faster than Community!
On the ratings catastrophe that is NBC prime time, Community ratings since 10/31 have moved up to 90% of NBC's scripted show average (in fact, plenty was the rest of NBC's show ratings sliding backwards, but same result). So while the push to get enough episodes for syndication gives the show a tailwind for another season, now its recent relative ratings do as well.
Community is now rated "more likely to be renewed than cancelled by May, 2012".

QuoteI looked a little more closely at more recent results (since 10/31) in with an eye towards potentially adjusting predictions as we near the mid-season mark, and as NBC's scripted shows slide towards the cancellation bear, most are sliding faster than Community!
On the ratings catastrophe that is NBC prime time, Community ratings since 10/31 have moved up to 90% of NBC's scripted show average (in fact, plenty was the rest of NBC's show ratings sliding backwards, but same result). So while the push to get enough episodes for syndication gives the show a tailwind for another season, now its recent relative ratings do as well.
Community is now rated "more likely to be renewed than cancelled by May, 2012".
Is that godawful monstrosity Whitney going to be picked back up?
Probably. More people watch that every week than either Community or Parks and Rec.
America!

QuoteThe series first debuted on Canada's CTV on September 19, 2011, three days before its U.S. premiere on NBC. The show won its timeslot with two million viewers, buoyed by its lead-in, the much-anticipated ninth-season premiere of Two and a Half Men.

QuoteThe series premiere was watched by 19.2 million viewers after its lead-in, the first episode of Two and a Half Men without Charlie Sheen. This marked the highest rating for a fall premiere of a comedy series since Fall 2001.
Note that:
QuoteThe series was created by Michael Patrick King and Whitney Cummings for Warner Bros. Television.

QuoteWEDNESDAY: "Whitney" moves here to 8 p.m. on January 11, followed by "Are You There, Chelsea?" (formerly "Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea"), a sitcom about the young life of talk show host Chelsea Handler, played here by Laura Prepon. (Handler has a supporting role as her own sister.) "Rock Center with Brian Williams," which has been dying on Mondays at 10, will likely do just as poorly here at 9, followed by "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit."
Laura Prepon is... Chelsea Handler!
Holy shit, that sounds like an awful block of television.

QuoteBad night for NBC's 8pm comedy block. It was beaten by ABC's repeats with Whitney down 13% to a series low 1.4 adults 18-49 rating and Are You There, Chelsea? down 18% to a 1.4 adults 18-49 rating also a season/series low.

Which is nice, because this past week's episode joins "Remedial Chaos Theory" from earlier this season among the greatest episodes of television ever made.

Also don't believe anyone that says I have sex with animals. And if there's a photo of me doing it with an animal - I'm not saying one exists, I'm just saying, if one surfaces - it's a fake. Look at the shadow. Why would it be in front of the giraffe if the sun is behind the jeep?

Why even do a show next year? I get it - because the cast needs money and they will be getting paid a lot of it.

But this show cannot possibly be as good without Harmon. Even if it's half as good, the die hards aren't going to give it a chance.

Syndication.
4 seasons' worth of episodes is apparently considered the bare minimum needed these days for M-F syndication to work.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_episodes
QuoteIn recent years, the 100-episode milestone for syndication has been lowered to 88 episodes. Shows approaching the 88-episode target are often renewed despite low ratings in order to ensure syndication. Production companies can offer discounts on licensing fees to networks to encourage renewal.
Shows that are approaching the 88-episode syndication milestone but get poor ratings are often moved to graveyard slots on Friday or Saturday in order to burn off remaining episodes.
An extreme example of a show renewed for syndication was 'Til Death. During its third season, 'Til Death was pulled from Fox's lineup in October 2008 after seven episodes due to low ratings. 'Til Death was later renewed for a fourth season after Sony Pictures Entertainment offered Fox a discount on the licensing fee. Unaired episodes from the third season were broadcast alongside fourth season episodes from October 2009 onwards, first on Fridays and later on Sundays. The show eventually reached 81 episodes, enough for off-network syndication.
NBC's 13-episode order for Season 4 (with the possibility of
more donuts to come) would bring the show to 84 episodes.
So Sony was probably willing to do whatever it would take to get this one final season, and they would have had little by way of leverage on their own end. It could be that one of NBC's conditions for renewal was that noted clubhouse cancer Dan Harmon would get the axe. It could simply be that NBC forced Sony to take such a severe haircut on Season 4 that they don't believe it would be cost effective to let Harmon continue to run it like the perfectionist he is.
Either way, we're probably left with a show basically running out the clock on the cheap.
My question is: what network is going to syndicate a show like Community?

Looks like WGN America filled out in all the right places.
As a fan of the show, I think it sucks that Harmon is gone. I can't imagine it being nearly the same level of weird/funny/genius that it's been for three seasons.
That being said, I also get how being an employee works and it sounds like he's a disaster to work with. Scripts were apparently always late, episodes would run way over budget and he bullied people enough that the staff turned over pretty frequently. And that doesn't even get to him playing the Chevy Chase voicemail at his Harmontown thing, which by itself was probably a fireable offense.
Obviously I'd rather have him stay as the showrunner because none of that stuff affects me personally and I just want good TV. But I can't say that I don't understand why they shipped him off.

Scripts were apparently always late, episodes would run way over budget and he bullied people enough that the staff turned over pretty frequently. And that doesn't even get to him playing the Chevy Chase voicemail at his Harmontown thing, which by itself was probably a fireable offense.
Obviously I'd rather have him stay as the showrunner because none of that stuff affects me personally and I just want good TV. But I can't say that I don't understand why they shipped him off.
You know who else has a long-standing reputation for being impossible to work with? Chevy Chase.
They both seem like total dicks (though Chevy seems to be in a class all his own (http://gawker.com/5899097/hes-not-chevy-hes-an-asshole-a-history-of-chevy-chases-horrific-behavior)).
The difference seems to be that, with Harmon, being "difficult to work with" (late scripts, cost overruns, rewriting his writers' scripts) seems to all boil down to obsessive, over-the-top perfectionism (crossed with his alleged Asperger's-like inability to understand or consider others' feelings (http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/09/mf_harmon/all/1)). Whereas with Chevy it seems to be about a pervasive lack of respect for anyone not named Chevy Chase, which expresses itself as assholism for assholism's sake.
The difference is that Harmon was indispensable, and his dickishness possibly the unfortunate price to pay to make Community the show it's been, while Pierce is barely more essential to the show than his nemesis Vicki.

Why even do a show next year? I get it - because the cast needs money and they will be getting paid a lot of it.
Syndication.
4 seasons' worth of episodes is apparently considered the bare minimum needed these days for M-F syndication to work.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_episodes
QuoteIn recent years, the 100-episode milestone for syndication has been lowered to 88 episodes. Shows approaching the 88-episode target are often renewed despite low ratings in order to ensure syndication. Production companies can offer discounts on licensing fees to networks to encourage renewal.
Shows that are approaching the 88-episode syndication milestone but get poor ratings are often moved to graveyard slots on Friday or Saturday in order to burn off remaining episodes.
An extreme example of a show renewed for syndication was 'Til Death. During its third season, 'Til Death was pulled from Fox's lineup in October 2008 after seven episodes due to low ratings. 'Til Death was later renewed for a fourth season after Sony Pictures Entertainment offered Fox a discount on the licensing fee. Unaired episodes from the third season were broadcast alongside fourth season episodes from October 2009 onwards, first on Fridays and later on Sundays. The show eventually reached 81 episodes, enough for off-network syndication.
NBC's 13-episode order for Season 4 (with the possibility of more donuts to come) would bring the show to 84 episodes.
So Sony was probably willing to do whatever it would take to get this one final season, and they would have had little by way of leverage on their own end. It could be that one of NBC's conditions for renewal was that noted clubhouse cancer Dan Harmon would get the axe. It could simply be that NBC forced Sony to take such a severe haircut on Season 4 that they don't believe it would be cost effective to let Harmon continue to run it like the perfectionist he is.
Either way, we're probably left with a show basically running out the clock on the cheap.
My question is: what network is going to syndicate a show like Community?
Comedy Central?
Adult Swim.
Does Adult Swim currently syndicate any shows from other networks?

Look I think it's a hell of a show, but from NBC's standpoint Harmon can hardly be considered "indispensable". Much as we like Community, the truth is by Nielson metrics (and I'm not going to debate the validity of the Nielson system - it sucks, but that's what the industry uses) nobody watches the damn thing. Basically, this is a no-brainer for NBC - they fire Harmon, and maybe his replacement(s) can get the ratings up and make the show viable. Worst case is the ratings don't go up, the show loses its distinctive voice and wheezes across the 100 episode finish line.

Yeah, all of this. The NBC higher-ups aren't going to consider him indispensable because he comes up with an episode almost entirely done in 8-bit animation, based mostly around a character who had appeared in one previous episode. The show is totally inaccessible to people who haven't already seen it so they weren't going to pick up any new viewers. And I think Harmon sometimes was almost aggressive about not making the show appeal to a wider audience.
I'm not saying any of this is "right." But I get where NBC and Sony were coming from. No one was watching the damn thing.

Serious question, what do you mean by "make the show viable"? As far as I'm concerned, the show is pretty funny and I like it how it is. Does the new showrunner have to bring in resident doctors and make them have sex in broom closets or make the characters have singing or dancing competitions?
That was my awful attempt at saying Community is an intelligent, color outside the lines type of comedy and America is stupid for not giving it better attention.
However, I am grateful for the Community I've gotten to see over the last couple years and I'd be more than willing to watch the reruns in syndication.

It's not just that. As CT noted, I think NBC would be happy to keep Harmon on the show (and his late scripts, budget overruns, bad attitudes, etc.) if the show were pulling in viewers. However, that wasn't the case. And, it appears that Harmon was going out of his way to make the show as core-audience centric as possible rather than attracting new viewers, so for NBC it was really a no-brainer.
That said, I'll still watch it. Harmon has crafted this show in its own special universe, so any new showrunner is going to have work within the spectrum of character and setting that Harmon made; it'd be incredibly difficult to just reboot the whole show.
Dan Harmon no longer writes for Community but he still occasionally writes at his blog. I'm going to go ahead and spoil the end of this entertaining rant.

I watched it last night. I thought it was too over-the-top in terms of how it approached the change from Harmon, and a little too cute for its own good in other places, but it was still funny. That being said, I don't think it's likely that this show is going to survive past this abbreviated season.
Maybe that's for the best.
I think they tried to cram too much into 30 minutes (Hunger Games, sitcom, animation) and wound up with a blivot.
Hopefully the rest of the season isn't like this.
This was kind of unexpected (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/nbc-renews-community-fifth-season-520816):
QuoteNBC has renewed Community as the Joel McHale starrer continues to march toward its "six seasons and a movie."
The beleaguered cult favorite will continue on for a fifth season, NBC announced Friday. The news comes a day after the Thursday comedy wrapped its fourth season, even year-over-year with a 1.3 rating in the advertiser-coveted adults 18-49 demographic and tying American Idol among adults 18-34.
While Community will continue, it will do so without co-star Chevy Chase, who exited the show in November following a roller-coaster relationship with the NBC series as he grew frustrated with the direction his character was taking. Most recently in October, the actor used an N-word on-set when questioning dialog in a scene, then "immediately" apologized to the cast.
The pickup also comes ahead of Community's syndicated debut in the fall on Comedy Central, with repeats potentially helping to lift the series the way TBS' encores have helped push CBS' The Big Bang Theory to new heights in its sixth season.
Despite being initially left off the network's midseason lineup for the second time, the series received a vote of confidence from NBC Entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt earlier this year when he touted that the community college comedy would have more heart under new showrunners David Guarascio and Moses Port. The duo took over from series creator Dan Harmon this season, with some critics of the Sony Pictures Television vehicle giving season four mixed results, some noting Community had lost the edge it had under Harmon.
For NBC's part, the Community news as the network reinvents its comedy brand, with the community college series joining Parks and Recreation as its lone returning half-hours for 2013-14. All of its freshman comedies -- save for Ryan Murphy's semi-autobiographical entry The New Normal and summer effort Save Me -- have failed to earn second seasons, though Save Me is not expected to return. NBC on Friday dropped Matthew Perry's Go On, which was considered the rookie most likely to continue.
Meanwhile, NBC continues to add new comedies including The Michael J. Fox Show, Sean Saves the World, Undateable and The Family Guide, which just lost co-star Parker Posey.
Didn't watch any of this season and all accounts were it was just watered down and bad without Harmon. True?

I wouldn't say it was "bad," necessarily. The actors are still good and the show was generally well-made. But it rarely had much of an impact and wasn't nearly as funny.
Next season, I might watch to see if the new showrunners can develop some of their own ideas. Most of this season felt like they were trying to do a Community tribute or something.

As soon as Dan said it, he asked that it be edited out of the podcast and it was just for us audience members(and I wasn't going to say a word) but soon after that Dan said "Ahhh Fuck it. I don't care who knows!" He jokingly said that he would only return if they brought Chevy Chase back too but even he couldn't stop laughing at that idea.

Makes sense. Drama between corporate executives, creative types, and celebrities is unprecedented and has no place in show business. The only logical reaction is to let it ruin your enjoyment of one of the best shows on TV.
