[QUOTE=Shagworthy;8375502]Joel McHale revealed to TV Guide over the weekend that a character from NBC’s “Community” will die in an upcoming episode. McHale didn’t give much in the way of clues, except this:

“A character from the show will die,” reveals star Joel McHale. He says the victim, although probably not one of the comedy’s main stars, is “someone you’ve seen a lot. And he dies in the mid-afternoon.”



what about john goodmans character? or did i read that he's already dead. i think i read it in a thread around here somewhere.

COMMUNITY IS COMMING BACK ON MARCH 15TH!!!!!

Sweet!

Glad it is back, hope it stays there! Sucks they have to push PandR back though. Up All Night or 30 Rock needs to be put on a different night.

The new trailer for Community's return was just on The Soup. Epic doesn't do it justice.


I can't post links so just go to thesouptvDOTcom

The video was indeed epic, if bewildering at times.

But man, when they showed that clip of Ice-T and Coco and Ice-T says he's taking Coco fishing tomorrow, then it cuts to McHale saying "We're gonna need a bigger boat," I don't think I've laughed that hard at television in a long time.

Tonight!

Was this the video you guys mentioned?

Holy shit, that was amazing. LMAO

That was tremendous. Hard to say which one is the best episode overall... but tonight's will be up in the discussion.

Definitely one of the best I've seen.

That was awesome.

HO-LEE-COW. Law & Order Community=Win

"A man has to have a code"


Oh, no doubt.

I had a good day. I almost sat on my balls and adjusted at the last second.

The video game episode was top notch.

I'd like to thank all of the reality watching, mouth breathing dunderheads for seeing to it that shows like this don't survive.

gillian jacobs is so crazy hot...her goth magician assistants thing must have tapped some unknown fetish of mine....holy ****

what episode is the video game episode? The one where they are in a simulation is good

Season 3, episode 20.

Love that Gus showed up in the 8-bit episode.

and brought his menace face.

So they fired Dan Harmon (this might be posted elsewhere).

Yeah, and moved the show to Friday after Whitney and before Grimm. The night where shows go to die.

Here's his blog post about it:

That sucks they are pushing him out. Crazy to see they are seemingly following Fox's playbook when AD wasn't getting the ratings they hoped for and then didn't help it with on again off again airings- because that helps build an audience - before tossing AD onto Friday nights as a half hearted sink or swim gesture that's really only sets it up to draw poorly thanks to the timeslot.

I just started rewatching from season 1 pilot and going thru every episode (already have seen them all) and loving it all over again as its been a while since I've seen a lot of them so their familiar but still fresh and damn funny!!!

Hope they don't f-up Community. The 8-bit episode was genius, and I still say the paintball episode is one of the best episodes of television history. Watched it live the first time it aired and felt like I was witnessing something comedically epic.

@ :40, you'll shit bricks.

Purv!!!!

Parks and Rec didn;t have a great last half of last season. I am not down on it but it felt like it was sliding.

parks and rec just chews through so many jokes. Like completely emptying one comedians bag in one show it is hard to sustain that.

FWIW, Joel McHale is doing a multi episode guest appearance on Sons of Anarchy as a con man.

That will be pretty damn interesting.

That damn election thing went on too long. Hope they keep Community and Parks and Rec long term.

Last season for both I believe. Please someone correct me if I am wrong.

You are correct, but NBC has a habit of changing their minds. I don't understand why they insist on keeping The Office but want to get rid of Parks and Rec and Community. I loved the Office but it has ran its course.

I just read an article that NBC is ditching these (brilliant) types of show to go with a broader (read: stupider) shows instead. So get ready for more shows like Its me Chelsea and Whitney. (Actually Whitney is a guilty pleasure of mine.)

I'd watch a Ron Swanson spin-off show. I'd watch the hell out of it.

Soooo....

After basically being shitcanned by NBC last year, Community is now renewed for the fall. It and Parks and Rec are (literally) the only NBC sitcoms returning for the fall season.

Wacky.

Pretty amazing really, especially after they crapped all over it. I got the impression that even the cast thought they were done, and the last episode certainly felt that way. NBC acts like they want to move away from quirky 30 Rock/Parks/Community type shows. They'd much rather dredge up Matthew Perry for the 14th time. Yet Parks and Community were the only thing that survived the NBC massacre today.

Although to be fair it might have to do with syndication... both of those shows can be syndicated with another season.

It gets even more interesting:link

surprising

thought the finale was pretty underwhelming

Dan Harmon is back.

Dan Harmon ‏@danharmon 1h

RT @dpeanutbutter: @danharmon GIVE US A STRAIGHT ANSWER! ~ Yes yes yes! I'm back I'm back I'm back. You can thank @joelmchale.

http://www.geekosystem.com/dan-harmon-community-return/

Skipping all posts and hoping it's been renewed.

The wife pointed this show out to me because it reminded her of my HBC school days.

(Script submitted to Spike Lee.)

As the show went on and she hated it more and more and I had to explain the geek jokes ep after ep.

Then she really hated it.

I...was...an addict...

Joel McHale AMA on Reddit. Pretty good, if you're interested.

Hey Joel! What is your favorite Community episode? Super excited for Repilot.

I really couldn't say. That's like picking my favorite bourbon.

[–]_JoelMcHale[S] 1444 points 1 day ago

But I am very excited (and I forgot to mention him) David Cross gueststars on our next Dungeons & Dragons episode.

That's awesome. I love they added Mike. John Oliver is supposed to be back for a couple episodes, too.

Count me as highly impressed with their 1st 2 episodes to the new season.

Loved Troy getting pissed about Braff only being in the 1st 6 episodes of Scrubs 9th season - as he's not finishing out the season himself because of his new show- but hate that he's leaving. And, his line about why his life sucks- which we'll explain later.

Totally shocked by the Chevy cameo.

Harmon rules.

Other guest stars...

Down the road I think NPH would make a great nemesis for Winger (Hale)- just my opinion.

That would be epic.

Time to get the online petition started for his season 6 story arc!

Not enough Annie in the first 2 eps.

I wouldnt say that, I would say more along the lines of too much season 1 Annie.

First two were outstanding.

Newest d&d ep was awesome...

And holy shit, they're doing GI Joe: http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/03/21/co...mated-episode/

Harmontown Dungeons and Dragons sessions are now animated.

BTW - I listened to this weeks Harmontown and watched Community both yesterday, and I honestly think Harmontown was funnier.

DM Spencer had some wild assed theory about how he could defeat a pack of coyotes with spin kicks. D&D was crazy. A breakdown of the Colbert/SNL 'cancel these racist shows' compaign on twitter was deconstructed. Funny all the way through.

Thanks Obamacare

Harmontown Nights just might be the most bizarre thing on the internets right now.

Short 10 minute set of vignettes straight from Dan Harmon's dome.

http://harmontown.com/podcast/HARMON...GHTS%20PREVIEW

Sadly, that year away by Harmon killed a lot of momentum in the show picking up traction along with Glover and to a lesser degree Chase off the show and messing with the dynamics of the principal cast.

Before anyone gets their hopes up, Hulu owns the streaming rights to Community. Also, Hulu has yet to spend a lot of money on original content. Their original content, while good is made on the cheap. (I am looking at you Deadbeat) I dont think they could afford to produce new Community.

Maybe Comedy Central. They have broadcast syndication rights. Do something like Futurama?

Sad face!

This was one of my favorite comedies from the last handful of years.

Sony said last Friday when talking to Harmon that they feel very confident that there will be a number of other networks or homes for at least a sixth season of Community, and that Sony thought the show was high value and worth continuing. Harmon was at first the one that seemed like he was on the fence about continuing the show, but later posted a message to fans saying that he wouldn't do that and wouldn't be the reason why a 6th season was killed.

His trepidation mostly stemmed from just finding out they got canceled- when this was supposed to be back / presumed safe, and it's faced likely cancelation after each season.

Well color me surprised. Hulu might just pony up the cash:

Hulu Eyes New Season Of ‘Community’

By NELLIE ANDREEVA | Wednesday May 28, 2014 @ 5:06pm PDT


Community -- Season 5EXCLUSIVE: There is a glimmer of hope that there could be a sixth season of cult comedy series Community. I have learned that Hulu is in talks with Community producer Sony Pictures TV for more original installments of the show, which was cancelled by NBC earlier this month. Sources stress that conversations are preliminary and ithulu5__131120195159-275x122 is unclear whether they would lead to a deal, but I hear there is will on both sides. That includes Community creator Dan Harmon, who confessed on his blog that he had warmed up to the possibility of continuing the show elsewhere, changing his stance from “eh” when Sony TV called him with the news of the series’ cancellation by NBC to “sure, let’s talk” two days later. Said Harmon, “I’m not going to be the guy that re-cancels cancelled Community.”




CommunityWith its devoted following by a core group of passionate fans, Community is the type of show digital platforms crave. Complicating the series’ options is the fact that it has a digital syndication deal in place with Hulu, in addition to a cable off-network pact with Comedy Central. That makes Hulu a perfect home for the comedy as it is the kind of streaming service where a show like Community would do best and because it already carries the series’ library via an existing agreement with Sony.

A high-profile acquisition like a new season of Community would make a statement for Hulu, which signaled an aggressive expansion into original programming at its upfront last month, with new CEO Mike Hopkins vowing to quadruple the streaming service’s investment in original content over the next year. Additionally, Hulu’s audience reach — Hulu Plus has more than 6 million subscribers — could sustain a network-level comedy.



Probably reassuring for Community fans is Sony TV’s strong track record in bringing cancelled series back. In addition to getting bubble comedies Community and Rules of Engagement renewed season after season on NBC and CBS, respectively, the studio brokered a deal to move acclaimed drama Damages to DirecTV after it was cancelled by FX. It also found a way to bring back on their original networks such cancelled shows as Drop Dead Diva on Lifetime and Unforgettable on CBS. All three series have gone to air multiple seasons post-cancellation.

knew it~

Outstanding news. For some reason, I always thought it might be continued as a graphic novel.

Hulu full through.


But....

Season 6 is a go!

On... ..... ..... Yahoo?!

http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/06/30/co...-sixth-season/

Harmon back as showrunner, as is all the cast that ended last season.

Awesome!

Now how much is Yahoo! going to charge for it? I didn't even know they had a streaming video service.

This. What is it like?...
