The dream of #sixseasonsandamovie lives! After sailing far too close to oblivion for any fan’s tastes, thanks to Hulu’s last minute decision not to carry Community as the June 30 deadline approached when all of the cancelled show’s actors were to be released from their contracts, the series, set at Continue Reading

Dreams do come true: Community within reach of #SixSeasonsAndAMovie
Way back in 1965, Mitch Leigh (music) and Joe Darion (lyrics) penned the song “The Impossible Dream (The Quest)” which went on to become the most popular song from the musical Man of La Mancha, the story of Don Quixote by novelist Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. It was variously used Continue Reading
Community meets The Walking Dead in the best opening credits ever
If ever there was a marriage made in pop culture heaven, it’s the bringing together of Community and The Walking Dead, two shows with rabidly passionate fan bases and zeitgeist-defining takes on the world. Community is particularly suited to the apocalyptic credits gifted to it by Youtube user atsp88, Continue Reading
Community: “Geothermal Escapism” (S5, E5)
The fifth episode in Community‘s steadily improving fifth season, “Geothermal Escapism”, was a bittersweet episode. While it saw the show return to the anarchic, rapid-fire pop culture-referencing form which characterised its iconic paintball episodes, “Modern Warfare” (E1, S23), “A Fistful of Paintballs” and “A Few Paintballs More” (S2, E23/E24), Continue Reading
First impressions: Community season 5 (now with re-added Dan Harmon)
Like a great many other Community fans, I persevered through the lacklustre Dan Harmon-less season four, happy to spend any time I could get with the Greendale gang, even if they did feel like rather soulless facsimiles of the wacky, insane and ultimately loveable people I had grown to Continue Reading
Get a whole new sense of Community: first season 5 trailer debuts
It’s back to school we go with Community and this time everything’s back to the way it should be! Dan Harmon, creator and showrunner of NBC’s Little Sitcom That Could Get #sixseasonsandamovie, for the first three seasons, is back in the creative saddle after a fairly lacklustre season 4 Continue Reading
Picture this Community fans: Season 5 photos aplenty
Much like Bigfoot, alien abductions and the idea of substantial news coverage from a commercial network that doesn’t include diet tips or reports on insurance scams, you might have begun to wonder if season 5 of Community actually existed, or would find a place in NBC’s schedule. Well wonder Continue Reading
Hurrahs all around! Parks and Recreation turns 100 … and Community gets an air date!
My how time in Pawnee flies! Seems it was just yesterday a wide-eyed, optimistic and highly spirited young lady by the name of Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) was thrilled to be the deputy director of the Parks and Recreation department of this idiosyncratic city in Indiana, dream of turning Continue Reading
The possibly bright and shiny-ish future of “Community”
I am at heart an optimistic kind of guy. While I keep a watchful eye on the unpredictable vicissitudes of reality which have a habit of upending even the most Pollyanna-esque of apple carts, and acknowledge that all the Tony Robbins’ positivity in the world won’t protect me from Continue Reading
Who ripped out the beating heart of “Community”?
Alas I celebrated a little to prematurely about Community being renewed for a 13 episode fourth season. For while one of the most innovative and clever sitcoms on television is back for another season, it will be without it’s creative heart and soul, Dan Harmon, who created the hilarious boundary-pushing Continue Reading
