Much like buttholes, families are meant to be tight.
So how exactly do you use Yahoo Screen? I can't seem to figure out how to watch full episodes of Burning Love. It's all those 20 second clips. Why do they make this poo poo so obtuse?

Tried signing in and following and everything.. idgi

Your first time with Community? This is a special day and you are a lucky, lucky person for picking the right time to get into it.

Yup, I had only seen one episode, but decided the best way to watch this awesome show was all at once, and I can't think of a single episode I actually disliked-

This doesn't make sense to me. If Community is supposed to be some kind of flagship for Yahoo, shouldn't they be prepared to actually spend some money on the show? They're not exactly poor.

Calling it a flagship is a little much. It's a lot more like what Arrested Development was to Netflix. It's an indicator to production companies that Yahoo is in the game, that they are a credible outlet for high level productions. When you think of Netflix series you think more about House of Cards or Orange is the New Blank now.

Yahoo is trying to buy credibility as a content provider, starting with Community.

You're right, flagship was the wrong word for it. What you said is what I was going for; they're using Community to establish and draw attention to themselves as a content provider. Maybe it's the wrong way to think about it, but to me it just seems strange to be cheap about it. It doesn't exactly signal confidence. But maybe that's beside the point.

I'm sure Yahoo will do everything they can. You'll probably hear lots of complaints about the fourth season of Arrested Development - for many different reasons - but one thing I have never heard is anyone complaining about Netflix being hard to work with or detrimental in any way to the process.

Being a pain in the rear end or a stickler for things does Yahoo absolutely no good, because again, they're actually in a different marketplace, trying to attract production companies and creatives. We're just benefiting from the debris.

I wouldn't look at keeping funding equal to the fifth season as "being cheap about it" - for moving from a broadcast network to a fledgling online content provider, not cutting the budget is probably the best scenario we could reasonably hope for. To me, pledging to fund the show at the current levels is a serious commitment for Yahoo. We'll probably never get back to the beautiful outdoor shots of the first two seasons, which is a shame, but I think we can mostly agree that many of Community's strongest episodes rely heavily on the characters' interactions, and very little on expensive production - e.g. the bottle episodes, D&D, My Dinner with Abed, Chaos Theory, etc. Besides, Dan Harmon has produced quality work with much smaller budgets before, so I'm confident it'll still be funny.

It doesn't cost anything (but I think it has ads). I believe it's just available for those in the US (or appearing to be), though.

US only? And they wonder why Australians pirate so much. As a country we were the biggest torrentors of game of thrones because it was hard to get here legit, you'd think that would show there is definitely demand for the content, its confusing why a company like yahoo who wants to make a name for themselves in the online distribution business wouldn't tap into a largely ignored market, especially when they are providing content for free anyway. They could even get away with charging a small amount, its not like the Australia tax hasn't become an accepted thing.

There are usually issues with international copyright law which prevent broadcast companies from instantly making their properties available to other countries. I'm sure they'd like to do it faster and more conveniently if they could, but there are actual legal barriers involved, they don't just block viewers from outside their country for no reason.

That's the case in the US too. It's just that Australians aren't really used to pay cable the way the US is. And most of the really big shows from overseas go to the free-to-air networks.

Also the single monopolistic PayTV provider in Australia is terrible.

HBO Go isn't an independent service like Netflix is. You have to have a cable subscription WITH HBO to use it, because ComCast and its ilk are a shakedown racket.

Rewatched season 5 and man, GI Jeff is a way better episode than I remembered. and Basic Story has a very funny script and then Basic Sandwich has maybe the weakest jokes of any Dan Harmon-era Community episode. and MeowMeowBeenz is still my favourite Community episode ever. Its sheer ambition outweights its messiness for me; it's the Synecdoche, New York of Community episodes.

Someone a few pages ago asked me why I thought the Hickey/son relationship in D&D2 was rushed and I have to admit it worked a lot better for me this time. I think it's just because of how quickly they introduce him and how they have to kind of pave over stuff they wrote already to make it make sense. ("no, that was my gay son, this is my other son who we've decided we need for this story").

Overall the season has its flaws and is probably weaker than the other Harmon seasons but for the fifth season of a network sitcom it's still insane and has at least 3-4 eps that rank up there with the best of em.

Yeah I rewatched season 5 recently and it's astounding to me how well done the season is as a whole, besides the last two episodes there's no real weak spots (and even then I think it's the finale that's weak, basic story I really admire for its aims)
