In all seriousness, maybe bringing Abed's girlfriend in full-time might work out.

She could definitely help keep the scales of silly/straight from tipping too far to the silly with just Abed, Jeff, Annie, and Britta left.

Doing my own slow rewatch, and I totally agree.

Pierce, Britta, and Chang all changed for the worst over the course of the show. Pierce starts off as this seemingly ignorant older guy with sly moments of wisdom and becomes a hateful, vindictive bastard.

Britta was a smart, confident woman who's biggest problem was always putting problems bigger than herself before her own needs, and becomes a combination dumb blonde/social justice warrior everyone's tired of (UGH shut up about EQUALITY didn't you hear that sexism and racism are over?).

Chang opens as a deliciously awful sonofabitch and ends up a complete cuckoo clock, which may have lead to one of my favorite bits on the show ever (BEAR DOWN FOR MID-TERMS), but ends up with him being a bit one-dimensional.

As much as I love a lot of Community, overall this is one of the most uneven shows I've ever seen.

Chang was best when he was a teacher who was aware of his flaws and at least tried to fix them instead of embracing them.

From the article: "Brown’s schedule on The Odd Couple will be much less demanding than on Community, simply due to the different shooting styles of each show. Community is filmed single-camera style, and Brown has to be on set throughout the entire, usually very long shooting day. The Odd Couple will be a multi-camera sitcom, which in practical terms means a lot less waiting around between setups. Brown estimates the difference in workload will be 20 hours a week on The Odd Couple vs. 80 on Community."

Multicams are the sweetest deal and actor can get. You just show up to work, get handed pages, then read different versions on stage. You ALSO get a bunch of tourists cheering for *anything*. You typically work 2 days a week.

That why it was so funny that Charlie Sheen was "exhausted" by work on 2 and a half men.

Almost none of this is true.

It's less time-consuming than single-cam, for sure, but no. It is not easy.

I can see when you are lying.

Probably the easiest job is a holding deal, where they're looking for a project for you and so they pay you money to not take any other jobs (or give them first standing). After that, (high paid) commercial pitchman, because you don't have to make 22 half-hour episodes. Next I'd say voice work for animation. And I guess after that, soap opera actor, where everything is shot for efficiency and you don't have to do it in front of an audience.

But then I guess multi-cam sitcom supporting character is next.

I did a job with Ian McKellan a few years back before The Hobbit films had started filming and got to have a few smokes with him. He was being paid to wait around several months while the schedule was being finalized for the film and was loving every second of it.

The show is adding Paget Brewster and Keith David to the cast for S6.

Despite playing himself in Pillows and Blankets, David will be playing a different character this season. But I'm gonna guess now that Abed will refuse to see this character as anything but Keith David.

Still no confirmation on when October 19th is.

Didn't they mention Nathan Fillion and later feature him on the show without too much issue?

Good to see you back.

You do know that Keith David was in the films being discussed as hopeful references, right? Not just random things pulled from the air. Maybe the lack of Community has made you rusty at this thread?

edit: Oh yeah, this is awesome casting news, by the way. Paget Brewster playing a different character than she did in season 5 is strange, though. However, I'm up for anything that puts more Paget Brewster on my television.
