Honestly, they should've just fired Chevy Chase instead of Harmon considering Chevy left the show anyway. But it'll be interesting to se what Harmon will do with the characters.

I really do hope Harmon comes back. I liked this season, but it lacked the sort of utter insanity that he brought to the show.

Yay, Dan Harmon's back! I thought this was just wishful thinking but it is actually happening! Time to do a Britta pizza dance.

This is... like, completely unprecedented? Right?
I mean, it's one thing for personnel who've left of their own volition to come back to a show (usually for the finale or final season), but someone who was fired?

This sounds like great news. I'd love to hear something from Sony confirming it, but it sure sounds legit.

It was clear already, but it's confirmed. Dan is back.And yeah, I don't know when this kind of situation has happened before. But I'm excited for it. I'm actually sitting here wondering what they're gonna do for their season premiere.

they're going to start showing community on comedy central - it will be good to see the earlier shows again, since i still haven't bought any of the seasons. gypsygurl tipped me off that CC is running a marathon today - it's been on for a couple of hours now and goes on until five.

danny glover is leaving community!?? it sounds as if he will at least be on waaaay fewer episodes (5 out of 13) - i had no idea this was coming. here is a link to a story about it. cartermatt.com/90576/nbcs-community-season-5-why-did-donald-glover-leave-he-explains-that-and-plenty-more/i'm not sure even when the new season starts and haven't found a date. i'm not saying the show will fall apart without glover, but i'd sure hate to see him go. why couldn't it be shirley? (she's my least favorite) and lord, what will happen to abed's character? he goes to pieces at any change, so this would be catastrophic for him. pictures of things he wrote down about his decision & his life have been posted and it's a laundry list of different concerns - i'm afraid i'm here for nothing - i'm afraid dan harmon hates me - i'm afraid people think i hate my race, etc. the one that baffled me was i'm scared i'll never grow out of bro rape - wtf is bro rape?? is this all a joke? losing chevy was more of a relief by the end, though it still represented a loss to the group. glover was underused in community, imo, and since he is a talented guy, i hope he's successful in his ventures. i've seen his stand up on CC before and it was pretty funny. i just wonder how it will affect the group as a whole.

I heard about Glover leaving a while back, never though to post it here, though. He's supposed to be around for the first five episodes and then he'll be gone. Yeah, it's a huge blow, but I don't know what his Twitter musings are all about. Sounds like he has anxiety issues, but I'm no psychologist. I, too, wish him the best and wish he were staying. He often steals the show.
As for Abed, I think I heard Nathan Fillion will have a recurring role this season as a janitor that interacts with Abed. I don't know 100 percent but I think a lot of the second half of the season has to do with Abed moving on without Troy.
Yeah, without Community back and The Office being over I'm not paying much attention to network television right now.

Caught the return of Community and I'm glad it's back. Harmon is obviously working around and with what happened last season, but I could tell he was working the strings again. I hope the shortened season is enough to build enough momentum to give the show its energy. Either way, I laughed quite a bit. A few quick notes:
* Crazy to see Pierce make an appearance, even as a hologram. Nice that they didn't just have him disappear. Wonder if they have anymore virtual Pierce bits in the can.
* The character played by Jonathan Banks really grew on me quickly. I've never watched enough Breaking Bad to know him, but by the end of his episode he was making me laugh hard. Troy: "Are you the coolest guy in the world?" Banks: "I doubt it." I hope he sticks around but I doubt he will.
* Abed got to shine with the Nick Cage bit. Great stuff.
* Donald Glover was kind of under the radar, but I have a feeling that will ramp up a bit. His Scrubs line was fantastic.
* Brita: "Psychologist. Psychology."
Again, glad it's back. Can't see it lasting beyond this season, but it is what it is.

i missed most of the two new eps last week - but i plan on catching up on them sometime in the next couple of days, i hope. i did see the scene where abed was channeling nick cage - awesome. and i loved the idea of a class centered around whether not cage is a good actor or not.
it's going to be a strange transition seeing jeff as a teacher instead of a student, no matter how much he seems to hate it. and i caught a glimpse of banks and was all - YES! because he was incredible on breaking bad. he was on an episode of modern family i saw not too long ago and he was funny in that - i think he is probably good in anything he does. but you are right, mod - he probably won't be a regular, which is a shame.
pierce as a hologram? is he dead? i missed something.
