The trailer for the remaining episodes of this season is hilarious.   :roflmao

It's a bit spoilery since you'll see a few of the upcoming storylines.

I guess Chevy Chase and creator of the show Dan Harmon are not the best of friends these days.  I'm guessing if the show does come back next season, Chevy will be gone.

Chevy is notorious for being difficult to work with.

I suppose.  But if you believe some of the stuff in that article, Harmon was pretty rough on him in front of Chevy's wife and kid.  That would have set me off too.

Rico

OH YEAH!  "Community" is coming back next season for at least 13 episodes!  And "30 Rock" too!

Very glad to see that news.  Such a funny show.  There's a rumor I saw that it might go forward without Dan Harmon, I wonder what kind of changes we might see if that were the case.  It seems so much of the series personality comes from the man's contribution, but perhaps that's not entirely true.  Either way I'll be watching.

I'd say it's more likely Chevy Chase won't be back rather than Dan.

Rico

Well, I was wrong.  They basically fired Dan Harmon.  This is ridiculous and I may not watch next season in protest.  Dan himself has posted a great blog entry at the link below about this.  Not only is this whole thing dumb, NBC has handled it very poorly with him.  Word of warning, the post by Dan contains some language - but it's pretty funny too.  I like his attitude.  Anyway, a sad day for fans of "Community."

He'll land on his feet as long as he doesn't spend too much time doing that thing he mentioned with "Prototype 2".  Messed up though, that TV networks still have the power to pretty much take away the original characters, situations, and locations that an artist creates and do whatever they want with it.  I don't think I would ever be okay with something like that happening with my own creative works.  NBC can go shove it as far as I'm concerned, I love these characters but I'm not interested in seeing what people not involved in their creation do with them.  It would be kind of like Star Trek continuing with all new actors, writers, and directors...oh wait a second, scratch that.

I kind of was inaccurate in the above comments.  It's actually Sony Pictures that pushed Dan out.  NBC just broadcasts the show.

Not for much longer I'll wager :(

Yep - probably true.  I just love each week when you turn on this show you don't know what you are going to get - especially this season.  Definite favorite of mine and awesome geek/pop culture references too.  Joby did you see the episode that they kept referencing "Blade" in?

Jobydrone

Not yet, I'm still a bit behind on this show.  The most recent episode I saw was the second one after the comeback, with all the celebrity impersonators.

Wow - you have a lot of wacky stuff coming your way.  Gotta be the weirdest season of them all this year.  But I loved the variety each week.
