"Community" is awesome

[keg in kc]

If you've never watched it, stop whatever you're doing and take a look at last night's ep. This is money on so many levels:



That is all.

TV viewers of the new Chelsea Handler show will be played by people watching other shows.

That back-to-back Whitney/ Chelsea Handler show sounds terrible. That's an hour of dogshit.

Reviews on it have been bru-tal.

NBC's Wednesday "Happy Hour" is going to be the new "punish your boyfriend/husband" hour.

I don't even think that appeals to women.

Don't underestimate the hive mind.

It saddens me that my snarking about the NBC Chief's timid network-speak has devolved this thread into sloppy-vag talk.

Well, Community's future seems to be in doubt, so I don't know that the thread had a ton to discuss anyway, right?

Nick Offerman on CBB talking about landing the Ron Swanson role.
The Boss role was originally going to be much older, and Nick initially audition for the Brendanawicz character. Appeared to have it locked up, went so far as to have a chemistry test screen with Rashida/Ann, which was forwarded to NBC.
At that point NBC told the showrunners, 'oh no. we were envisioning someone good-looking in that role.'
Then the showrunners rewrote the Boss for him.
Even then NBC wanted a thorough auditioning process, so being assured by the showrunners he's 'their guy,' Nick nevertheless had wait 5-6 months while they auditioned everyone under the sun. What made it worse was he was regularly performing at UCB, and everyone is buzzing about the role in front of him unaware that it had been written for him. 'did you read it? isn't it awesome? I got a second call-back today!! Woo-hoo.'

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.”

So, we know it’s a recurring character, but we can rule out any of the named cast members. Who will it be? Let’s place odds:

Leonard Briggs (4-1) — He’s the oldest character on the show, he’s had his hip replaced, and he rides around in a wheelchair. This seems logical. Maybe too logical?

Alex “Star-Burns” Osbourne (12-1) — He is a drug dealer, which can be a dangerous profession. But then again, he only deals marijuana, and his clients are Greendale students.


Fat Neil (6-1) — Fat Neil is both fat, which makes him a health risk, and he’s manic depressive, having considered suicide once before.

Magnitude (5-1) — Although not a high risk for death, his catchphrase, “Pop Pop,” would make him a likely candidate as a gunshot victim.

Professor Ian Duncan (20-1) — He does have a huge drinking problem and his with rivalry with Señor Chang could lead to violence.

Vice Dean Robert Laybourn (7-1) — In addition to being overweight, Vice Dean Laybourne is the true power of Greendale, which could develop into a “Game of Thrones” type plotline, in which he’s picked off by Dean Pelton.

Dr. Marshall Kane (12-1) — He has served prison time, and is uncomfortable with the way that the world has changed in the two decades he spent inside. This could provoke violence, or even suicide, particularly if faced with the prospect of handling those new, tiny LEGOs.

The Greendale Human Being (15-1) — Fumes from magic markers used on his mascot costume have been known to make him aggressive; they could also potentially be lethal.

Annie’s Boobs (2-1) — It is a monkey that lives in the heating ducts, plus the death of Annie’s Boobs has the greatest comedic potential.

Gus Fring is coming to Greendale.

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

Oh, happy day! Community creator Dan Harmon took to Twitter Tuesday with the news that all Human Beings have been waiting for: the long-shelved NBC comedy’s Season 3 return date.

“What you call 8:00, we call home,” the showrunner revealed. “Community returns to Thursday nights on March 15th.” The quirky cult hit’s return marks the first of season’s 12 unaired episodes.

To make room for the Greendale Gang, NBC is pushing 30 Rock to 8:30 pm, where it will be followed by The Office and Up All Night. (Parks and Recreation will return to finish its fourth season on Thursday, April 19, at 9:30, after Up All Night has completed its freshman run.)

[KcMizzou]

Sweet!

[Predarat]

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.
