 Season 1 Thread posted:I gave up on this poo poo before the first or second commercial. Cannot really remember. This is "intelligent" comedy for people of average or below-average intelligence and no sense of writing. Season 1 Thread posted:Anyone laugh at this even once? Not me. Season 1 Thread posted:This show is fresh, funny, and intelligent. It'll get canceled in 3 episodes. Season 1 Thread posted:I laughed and will watch again, but at the same time, I can't really see how this show can sustain itself for very long. I just can't see where it can "go". For those curious, Yahoo Screen is a free service, though it does have ads. The international rights are a mess, though. It’s airing on Yahoo Screen in the United States (and Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia), and a day later on SET in the UK and Stan in Australia. Live in Canada? Sorry, you’re hosed. The show's not going to change much. Like the last two seasons, it's 13 episodes. It’ll be a few minutes longer per episode, but that's really it. Harmon, despite his love of doing bold poo poo, is pretty attached to the usual three-act episode structure so crazy 40 minute experiments like Arrested Development season 4 don't really appeal to him for something like Community. Unfortunately, the cast is going to be getting smaller yet again, with the news that Shirley won’t be returning. Yvette Nicole Brown asked to be released from her contract so she could take care of her dying father and took a much less time-consuming role on CBS’ The Odd Couple. YNB is a phenomenal comedic actress, but Season 5 kind of proved the writers don’t know what to do with her a lot of the time so it might be for the best, honestly. Also not returning for the sixth season are Jonathan Banks and John Oliver, who have commitments to incredibly popular shows at the moment, the ingrates. There's also no word on if Pierce or Troy will be coming back in any capacity. There are a few factors making a Pierce return unlikely, including Chevy Chase's termination from the show and the character's untimely death, but the crew has been weirdly coy about the possibility. As for Donald Glover, we can only hope, especially because we have at least one  against it happening.On the bright side, to fight the hemorrhaging the cast was going through, the show brought in Paget Brewster and Keith loving David as regulars. Both of them have been on the show before in guest roles, which I expect will probably just be ignored, but you never know with this show. Either way, both of them have impressive comedic experience and seem like fantastic additions to the cast. As for this season, it’s still too early to tell what it’ll be. Dan Harmon, praise be to him, has said this season will be more grounded, but I feel like it’s the third or fourth time I’ve heard that lie. Other news, though, seems like it’ll fix a lot of problems people have been complaining about for a while. We’re going back to Los Angeles City College to film for the first time since Season 1, and the set lighting (ugggghhhhh) seems improved. It also seems that the show will actually try to explore Jeff as a teacher, which it completely ignored in favor of the Save Greendale Committee last season. If you need more to go on, there’s a trailer here, though most of it’s too out-of-context to get a real read on what the season will be.                      If you need more information for whatever reason, consult my big long dumb effortpost from the last thread: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3597051 Community airs Tuesday, March 17 on Yahoo Screen.  New episodes go up here at midnight the night before. IT'S FREE MORONS Still waiting on that movie. Arist fucked around with this message at 07:10 on Mar 17, 2015 |

Are a lot of people really looking for a "down to Earth" version of community? I always thought the best episodes were the ones with lava floors, and meowmeow beanz.

I don't think it's quite fair to characterize it as a "lie". He always starts each season honestly and earnestly with the "more grounded" resolution and then it just all lurches out of control.

Here's hoping this limping Frankenstein is good I guess because I don't think Dan can handle another huge meltdown and he's running out of people to blame when things don't go well!

I got to see the first episode yesterday thanks to their SXSW party. I really liked it and it seemed like everyone else there did too, so I have high hopes! I'm sad that they're not doing a binge-watch release schedule though.

We should probably put in the OP that if you have the opportunity to watch this on Yahoo screen, you should do so. Support the show, sit through the ads. Maybe together we can make it the first profitable season of Community!!! Canada? Pirate it, I guess...  Heres to hoping for a good season and to banking on a lovely thread!!!

Also, a bit of realtalk, but there is zero chance of the show being renewed for a 7th season. Let's say the impossible happens and the show doubles its NBC ratings on Yahoo! Its still not getting renewed. Period. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. We are literally three months away from the last episode of Community ever.

The sixth season is the end of the actors' contracts, and a 7th season would probably feature Joel McHale, Jim Rash, Ken Jeong, and an entirely new cast. Then again, the things that have happened around this show are kind of unprecedented. It would take a lot to surprise me at the point. Sometimes I fear the show may outlive us all.

Well, when the inevitable movie happens, I hope a giant cast reunion is in the cards. 3 weeks of filming, maybe less, would be less of a commitment than a TV series I hope.
