Considering how pathetic NBC is, it should be good news if it was the highest rated show.

I can't see how NBC can cancel the show, not only does it get the best ratings of its Thursday shows, but the show is a hit with almost everyone who actually watches it. I think the bad press it would bring if they were to cancel it would do a lot more harm than good (good being to save money), if they cancelled it.

Thursday's schedule is made more interesting with how big of a mess the Office is now with cast leaving, Paul Leiberstein stepping down (the shows front runner) and no idea what is to come. Dear lord how long ago does the hay day of the Office in Season 2 and 3 seem?

I'd love to get back to Thursdays with 30 rock, Community and Parks and Rec on. All shows I love.

Chevy and Dan Harmon seem to be feuding.

Supposedly there is bad water between Community producer/creator Dan Harmon and cast member Chevy Chase. It was reported that Chevy left the set last month before filming one of his scenes that was going to be used in the season finale.

The bad blood continues when, at the wrap party Harmon gave a speech that was a big fat f-ck you to Chevy in front of everyone including Chevy's wife and daughter. This was followed up with a voicemail message left by Chevy (listen here, courtesy of deadline.com) http://www-deadline-com.vimg.net/wp-...0331184343.mp3 which leaked on to the internet. Chase says at one point, "...your writing is getting worse and worse so suck my ####."

The chronology of the events, corroborated to me by multiple sources, involves Chase walking off the set of the show on the last day of shooting last month without filming one of his scenes, which reportedly was to close out the season finale. Then at the wrap party, Harmon got up and gave a “#### you, Chevy” speech in front of Chase and his wife and daughter, and encouraged the crew to join him in saying “#### you” to the actor. Chase left immediately after.

I think the last 3 episodes have been pretty weak, still stronger then most of the crap on tv but weak none the less. I also know Dan Harmon has the reputation for being quite a prick, especially with how he treated some of the writing staff in Season 1 and to people who have met the guy. Not to say Chevy Chase doesn't come with baggage himself but Harmon doesn't come off as a good guy at all.

I thought the most recent episode was one of the weakest I have seen in awhile.

Something seemed a little off with the dialogue. Not the usual rythm that it usually has.

But it did set up the next episode which could be awesome. I heard them talk about the "fort" episode kind as the paintball episode of season 3. So it had better be good.

Chevy is banned from SNL. He can be a jerk.

I find a lot creators of shows are dicks. Obviously this is my opinion and there is little substance to what I will say, but they all come off as super arrogant when/if their show becomes a hit. Not that I'm defending Chevy as he has always been in the news for being a dick, but I find a "**** you" song at the wrap party to be beyond pathetic. In front of his family? Come on man.

[fatso]

I know both Chevy and Harmon have reputations for being... difficult. But am I the only who thinks is contrived?

I agree, too, that since its return, the show has been fairly weak. I love the whole 'meta-' aspect to it, but sometimes think can be overthought. That's the impression I'm getting from this season.

[vanisleflamesfan]

I don't really know how serious this is (I think that E is a real thing?) but anyway, the good folks over at E are choosing one show that they will 'champion' to be saved from cancellation. Right now Community is losing to some fairly horrible shows. So vote if you want.

Tonight is their long-anticipated Law & Order (Chang-Chang) episode. I hope it lives up to the hype.


Also, Donald Glover is going to be on the Live 30 Rock episode tonight, as young Tracy Jordan (they're doing 2 live shows, one for the east and one for the west).

[getbak]

I thought it was a great episode. Perfectly executed homage to Law & Order.

Very little Britta, but her image enhancement skills were great.


Spoiler if you haven't watched it yet:

Spoiler!

I can't believe they killed Starburns.

Staaaaaaaaaaaaaarrr burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrns!!!!!

[Flash Walken]

That's probably one of my favourite Community episodes of the series. Might be my favourite 'theme' episode of any show of that type.

[sa226]

Its ridiculous the attention to detail they have, camera angles, dialogue, characters etc.

Very good episode, best of this season for sure. Although I think I laughed the hardest at the Dean singing troy and Abed to sleep.

[Oling_Roachinen]

It was an amazing episode, up there with the paintball episodes in my opinion. Guess being a somewhat Law & Order fan helped but Abed's clock-reading skills, Chang's face during the "court" scene and Troy's "He's been on edge ever since we switched" lines were great as was so many minor characters popping up, and even the title "Basic Lupine Urology." Could have been perfect if they didn't include that ######bag Todd though.

^Ha! Dick Wolf. Didn't get that at the time.

Loved the Man's gotta have a code references.

Great episode. Shouldn't this be move to the F&E sub forum.

[flames_1987]

Good to have the Community we all know and love back. Can't wait for the remaining episodes and Chang.

[3 Justin 3]

Easily my favorite Community episode. I absolutely lost it when Troy was chasing Starburns and passed through the Dean's office with him hoola hooping. I also re-watched the "You have the right to do what ever you want..." line about 15 times because I could never make it through the entire line, I'd always end up laughing.
