Last year, right around this time, 'Community' fans were shocked and awed that the show would return for season 4... but without series creator/showrunner Dan Harmon. The fourth season was wobbly, and Harmon's presence was sorely missed, but now there's word/a ray of hope that he could be brought back for the recently announced fifth season.
The network pickups of the last few days might have dominated the news, but that hasn't made us any less excited for Adult Swim's new offerings in the coming year. In addition to a pickup for 'Community' creator Dan Harmon's new series 'Rick and Morty,' Adult Swim has announced a new 'Robot Chicken' DC Comics special sequel, and an hour-long 'Metalocalypse' special amid their new offerings. Get the full list of Adult Swim arrivals inside!
October 19th may have long passed by in reality, but we're only one day away from the "real" October 19 premiere of 'Community' season 4, incidentally taking place on February 7. 'Community' fans wait with bated breath to see if the comedy changes significantly under new show-runners Moses Port and David Guarascio, but what does ousted creator Dan Harmon have to say about the new run of episodes? Will he tune in for 'Community' season four? What do the new heads say about a potential fifth season? New 'Community' scoop inside!
Streets ahead? Streets behind? Just plain streets? Any loyal 'Community' fan knows that for as long as the series has aired on NBC, series star Chevy Chase has had a public distaste for its brand of humor, his character Pierce Hawthorne, and particularly former show-runner Dan Harmon. Chase himself has hinted multiple times that he might leave the series, and has now officially confirmed his exit. But with so much of the thirteen-episode season 4 shot, will we really miss him?
'Community' may continue to be in dire straights given that NBC still hasn't picked a return airdate for the 13-episode fourth season, but ousted creator Dan Harmon is still sitting pretty. In addition to several other projects in the works at both CBS and FOX, Adult Swim is the first to show its faith in the former showrunner by picking up Harmon's animated series 'Rick and Morty' to series. That said, how many episodes is the order for, and what story will it tell?
These days, we're still living in a 'Community'-less pit of despair, as just when we thought a new season was about to begin, NBC pulled the rug out from underneath us. The underrated critical darling's fourth eason may not be debuting this Friday, October 19 anymore, but that doesn't mean you have to wait until NBC decides the ultimate fate of the series! How would you like a Dean-alicious look at a new scene from 'Community' season 4 right now?
As distraught as we are that 'Community' won't be premiering its fourth season next Friday thanks to NBC's last-minute switch, the consensus around the internet is that 'Community' will ultimately have a better shot with a bigger marketing push and potentially even a better night than Friday. Still, even with all the commotion series show-runners Moses Port and David Guarascio conducted a round of interviews about the Greendale Gang's senior year, including exactly what involvement departed show-runner Dan Harmon could have.
As positive as we try to stay that we have 'Community' back for season 4 at all, regardless of a reduced 13-episode order and a move to Friday nights, there's one bit that's still relatively hard to swallow. Sure, Moses Port and David Guarascio will do a fine job in his stead, but Dan Harmon represented the heart and soul of 'Community' from its very inception. With the dust settled on his exit, what's he saying now about the infamous controversies, or the possibility of coming back?
Today, the talk all around the internet consists mostly of NBC criticism leveled at how ineptly they've covered the 2012 Olympics, but here's even more fuel for the fire. We'd previously heard that ousted 'Community' leader Dan Harmon was in talks to create a new FOX sitcom, and now things are looking even further streets ahead for the deposed show-runner. Sitcom titan CBS reportedly wants a piece of Harmon too, but what are they offering?
Though there was never really any hope of Dan Harmon being allowed to return to our beloved 'Community' it's streets ahead to know that he may just have landed on his feet. In spite of the 'Community' creator's unceremonious firing at the hands of Sony TV, sources say Harmon is close to a deal that would enable him to create a new comedy series at FOX! So, what might the developer come up with this time, and who could he take with him?
