Oooh, and Harmon gets bumped to 'consulting producer'.

 

[Arecsa]

Consulting producer? ****. I don't like this at all.

The 8-bit episode was pure gold. I hope we don't lose this kind of stuff with Dan not at the helm.

 

[Ochre]

The new guys worked on Happy Endings? Excellent.

Obviously would prefer Harmon though

 

[Marlowe]

Why do the TV Gods destroy the few, rare, excellent comedy shows that only come around once or twice a decade?

Sleep tight, sweet prince.

Dan Harmon is trending worldwide, and is the top TT in Aus.

As much as Harmon is a dick (supposedly), Sony and NBC are awful by not talking to Harmon. I don't think Community will be the same, Community was his baby and he controlled so much of it and this consulting producer crap is basically a vanity credit.

I don't watch Happy Endings, I hear that it's a great show but it looks relatively plain and normal, and I'm sure Community will definitely lose some of its wackiness and everything that made it special in what will probably be its last season.

I was going to watch Happg Endings but heard that it sucked so hard, it wasn't worth my time. I'll have to check it out now, however.
Still, it's not just Harmon who is gone. Producers/writers Neil Goldman, Garret Donovan and Chris McKenna have departed, as well as directers/brothers, Anthony and Joe Russo. God knows else will leave.

I fear Community will never feel the same.

 

[Mr Eagle]

Who does that leave? Megan Ganz and...anyone else of note?

Wow, I remember reading about Donovan and Goldman but heard nothing about Mckenna and the Russos. If true, huge losses. Couldn't find anything, do you have the links?

First half of season 1 of Happy Endings is terrible, but after that its really good, not Community good, but still pretty good

Edit: the plain and normal tag does fit though

It will still be a good show, but as people are saying it will probably lose all the subtle things that make it amazing.

McKenna confirmed via Twitter.

Russos "are also no longer part of Sony and thus are not involved in the show on a day-to-day basis".

 

[GreatBradScott]

At least we'll have 71 episodes of brilliance left with us.

I can leave it on that note.

 

[alfy!]

Man that's terrible news with Harmon out. As much as he seems like a bit of a dick, the guy knows how to make an amazing show.

Just watched them through for the third time.

Amazing.

 

[Marlowe]

To commemorate the end of the Harmon era. . .here's a top ten list of my favourite episodes:

10. Remedial Chaos Theory
9. For a Few Paintballs More/A Fistful of Paintballs
8. Introduction to Finality
7. Basic Lupine Urology
6. Critical Film Studies
5. Paradigms of Human Memory
4. Modern Warfare
3. Conspiracy Theory and Interior Design
2. Advanced Dungeons & Dragons
1. Cooperative Calligraphy

 

[LadyPants]

Counting down from 5

5. Modern Warfare/Advanced Dungeons & Dragons
4. Intermediate Documentary Filmmaking
3. Critical Film Studies/Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas
2. Documentary Filmmaking: Redux
1. Remedial Chaos Theory/Regional Holiday Music/Conspiracy Theories and Interior Design/Digital Exploration of Interior Design/Origins of Vampire Mythology/Virtual Systems Analysis/Basic Lupine Urology/Introduction to Finality/Digital Estate Planning

I think I've done this wrong.

The best episode, in my humble opinion is Pillows and Blankets by a mile.

 

[DrVanNostrand]

Lists need more Intro to Political Science.

 

[LadyPants]

On terms of rewatchability? There are only a handful of episodes that boring after the 3rd viewing.

 

[exile]

3 episodes were amazing, especially the 8-bit one.

this show is incredible.

 

[SugarShane]

Unfortunately i can see this show as being the next My Name Is Earl. Incredibly original concept, amazing extended cast, hidden jokes, jokes you only catch on the 3rd viewing, misunderstood by the networks and now, quite possibly, cancelled long before it's time. I was devastated when Earl got canned, really hope Community gets a better deal.

It's so much better than My Name is Earl.
Community never did anything quite as preposterous as throwing their man character(s) in prison for half a season. I think that alienated a lot of fans (certainly me). If anything, it's closer to Arrested Development than 'Earl'*.

*At least according to everyone I've ever spoken on the Internet.
