I'm gonna need a little explaining on this because a) British nationalism is fascinating to this American, and b) most of that just sounded a little bit like English, but still not.

A brummie is someone from Birmingham. To be fair I just looked him up and his parents actually are from Liverpool, I just mean a guy from birmingham and with that typical posh London accent/style you usually see wouldn't be the type of the guy to support them.

He's got a podcast though, he should just start putting out unofficial commentaries there and getting people to sync it themselves. It's not like the idea's never been done before.
Yeah, but at this point he probably wants to keep Community on the air as well as keep the job he was just rehired to do. Doing a profane, unofficial commentary could get him fired again.

I think more than anything else it's restraint out of respect for some of the people who worked on Season 4, and the fact that he has to work with some of them After those initial controversial comments it seems Harmon has adopted the stance of "if you can't say anything nice, say nothing".

He's adopted more of a "barely restrained anger that I can't just make whatever joke I want, why do people keep trying to make me feel bad for making rape jokes, you're silencing my creativity" stance. I like Harmontown, and Dan's a great writer, but I wish he would loving let it go. You can always tell when he's going to rant about being called out for rape jokes without actually saying that's what he's talking about, and I feel like turning it off every time.

I loved this show, and bored all of my friends about it, until season 4 at least. I just drifted away from it, and very occasionally would feel a bit sad when I remembered the good times.
I watched the first 3 of this season and it's like an old friend returning.
I'm away to give season 4 a second try. Then re-watch 1-3.

Looks like Chevy's picked up a new gig:

Untitled Chevy Chase Project
The original stars of National Lampoon's "Vacation" franchise - Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo - are reuniting for a single-camera comedy project which has scored a production commitment by ABC. The pair play a couple finally enjoying their golden years who are forced to raise their grandchildren due to unforeseen circumstances. The project is being eyed for a debut during the 2015-16 TV season.


I guess they got the idea from those Old Navy ads?

What was the first Community episode that was shot or presented in a different style? I went back and watched Modern Warfare and it was obviously different subject matter than usual but the directing and presentation was more or less series-standard.

That's the one that stands out to me as the one where they realized they could go hog wild. There are a few episodes that approach it, but with that one they basically went "what if we did Goodfellas in 22 minutes with chicken fingers?" "gently caress yes!" leading to "what if we did every action movie in 22 minutes with paintballs?," "what if we did a Ken Burns doc in 22 minutes with pillows?" etc...

Goku would be ashamed of you.
Does anyone else feel they're setting up for Abed to have a major shift in character coming soon? The Cage episode had him have another breakdown where he suddenly at the end realized how crazy he was acting and walked out, then threw away his DVD's. Then the third episode had him blatantly voicing his disgust toward the use of seemingly autistic characters as a magical plot device, then deleting offending programs off his DVR that he obviously previously kept up on. I think he's about to have some massive character development where he stops leaning on pop culture as a crutch to understand social interaction in order to maintain relationships.

Either that or Shirley talked him out of throwing away his movies and will become his new Troy, since she knows what a Cenobite is, but she won't be as malleable as Troy so it'll be a very different dynamic. For some reason "Shirley and Abed in the Morning" holds an appeal for me.

I hope they never revisit that bit because it was played out in the first season.

Or maybe they could have a D&D campaign take place in a paintball game occurring on the set of Troy and Abed in the morning. The Dean can crossdress and inspector spacetime from the darkest timeline can appear with the Schmitty kids to make fun of Jack Black. You know, whatever wanks fans off most.

So... do you actually like Community? Because it really sounds like you don't.
