Community, the tv show

The final episode was pretty funny. Chang never became anything more than a cartoon character but had some of the funniest moments all season.

O-Lan Jones! I knew I had seen her before.

While I got alot of enjoyment out of this season, I would not be sad if it ended here. Season 6 had a very fan-fictiony spin-off vibe to it, and it felt more off and forced than even season 4. Harmon keeps getting thrown second chances to continue but has never used them to actually bring any closure to the story, and if his plan is to just drag this out for as long as he can keep the actors attached, then it needs to end.

i agree, but i'll give them credit in that it does feel like the end for Annie and Abed. it would be a tough sell, even worse than the last time, to have them come back to Greendale after that. With Abed's storyline especially, it felt like he was ready to go - he made a "real" movie and all, seriously at the end of his rope with all the meta stuff, Troy being gone, etc. Annie's FBI exit was rather ill-planned in comparison

The show can end here just as well - by season 6 tends you feel the death point of most great sitcoms anyway - though I would like a movie just to wrap up Troy and LeVar Burton's storyline (as well as Shirley and Malcolm Jamal-Warner... and whatever happened to Chang's ex-wife?)

I assume she just disappeared into the ether that is the world off the Greendale Campus...

I would still like there to be a movie, or some sort of one-off special like the Christmas Special of the Office. A "movie" opposed to a whole new season would be the best bet in being able getting as much of the main cast back together again. John Oliver and Chevy are never going to come back, and I guess Jonathan Banks is a no go, but we should at least get closure with Troy and Shirley in the fold.

Alison Brie got engaged! ;_;

To Dave Franco. ;_; ;_; ;_;

Is Gillian Jacobs still married to Gary Marshall?

lol

Wasn't this basically the equivalent of creating a cable network that only had one show? I wonder why that didn't work out for them.

I think they actually had three or four shows. That terrible Sin City Saints with Malin Akerman and the surprisingly good Other Space. And another one I'm forgetting.

The Whatthewhat with whozit now?

Sadly it is show about a fake NBA team in Vegas rather than what we're probably all hoping for with that title and star

It also stars Tom Arnold and Rick Fox. I lasted two episodes

This is the path I expect to see many of these stupid balkanized streaming services taking until they wise up and realize that they need to join forces instead of living in an imaginary fairyland where people shell out for twelve different versions of Netflix every month. And this one wasn't even a paid service.

what if they'd lucked into a game of thrones type-phenomenon...

other space was great r.i.p.

xp it's actually getting even worse for the moment - you should see those Amazon Prime "add-on" channels, it's absurd how many of these things that have popped up this past year. shoutout to exploitation.tv though!

Other Space >>>>>>> Community

Yahoo had done three seasons of the excellent Burning Love before Community

Guys, HULU just put up season 6!

all4 in the uk now has all (70+) of these available for streaming (free!)

(i've just recently bought seasons 6 and 7 on dvd and watched them all 3 or 4 at a time)

Atlanta is not S7 of Community FYI

my partner peaced out on the last couple of seasons of Community and I kindof wish I had too, looking back on it

season six had some larfs

thanks koogs!

Ha, wow, I honestly didn't realize there was s6. I still love the first two seasons.

Oh, I mean 5 and 6 then. Was a good 3 year gap between the end of 4 and the last couple but I enjoyed them.

I hope Chevy never listens to the commentary tracks...

Odd how Troy ended up murdering that choir...

yeah, 5 and 6 are very good and funny for how beleagured the productions were. both of them are more like reboots than continuations - I think composer Ludwig Goransson was the only person who continued across all seasons? - and 6 is a separate reboot from 5.

The first half of season 5 is great, but it really loses some heart after Troy left. By the time they got to 6 it was really obvious that the whole thing was being propped up way after the end of its natural lifespan, and it just fizzled out at the end.

Natural lifespan of a community college education = 2 years

Srsly, s3 was hit and miss for me and I found s4 unwatchable. Any chance 5&6 would be worth it?

They're hit-and-miss but definitley better than S4. That season's a whole different deal, no Harmon and all that.

Keith David and Paget Brewster, along with a (mostly) more relaxed tone make season 6 really great, imo.

Just finished season three again and wow it is so obvious that Donald Glover had a compressed schedule so they just filmed all the air conditioner repair school stuff in one go and slotted it around the rest.

Might also have been to film all of Goodman’s scenes.

So Donald Glover is finally taking part in a Community event, a charity virtual table read. Just not sure that the middle of a Monday afternoon work day for most of the country makes a ton of sense, but do they just assume no one is working?

The read through ep is on YouTube - enjoyable waste of a half hour at home and good to see Troy and Shirley back.

Apparently this podcast or whatever it is is a hoot:

i watched the table read, it was really great, especially when pedro pascal kept breaking at the end.

man, donald glover could've been the best comedic actor of his generation. he is...not the best musician of his generation, but he headlined coachella, so it seems to be working fine for him.

don't sleep on the comedic aspects of Atlanta

To his credit, Atlanta is so good its comedic aspects come in, like, third.

he's great in atlanta (as an actor and the creative mind behind it), but i still think his greatest talent is in broader, more overtly comedic styles.

he could've been eddie murphy, but it's just as well that he chose to be donald glover instead (let's not talk about childish gambino)

he's 36. you guys are high.

idk what his age has to do with anything?

By 36 Eddie Murphy had hit the family movie stage of his career, fwiw. "Nutty Professor," et al.
