Why did Dan get let go from the show?
We’re not made aware of why staffing changes take place but I will always be grateful to Dan for his great work on the show and wish him only the best. We’re also excited that we’ll be back on NBC’s schedule in the fall and are looking forward to working on those episodes.
Here’s the thing about nerds Sony. We don’t have a lot of people, but we’re extremely loyal to the people we do have. So if you’re thinking about sending a memo to the Community staff telling them what to say about Dan Harmon, you might want to reconsider.

Why Dan Harmon’s firing from Community is just the latest shot in the showrunner-vs.-network battle
Todd VanDerWerff soothed his broken heart over the news of Dan Harmon’s departure from Community by writing an opus on the two types of showrunners and how network’s deal with them. It is very good, and it might also help to soothe your heartbreak.

He’ll stay on as a consulting producer, but we’re still not sure what timeline this is.

Donald Glover to bring diversity, Donald Glover-ness to Girls
Honestly, we’d be okay if Donald Glover was added to every show, as long as he still had time to do all the other stuff he does that we like.

Is a three-episode shooter of Community enough to satisfy you until it comes back on the air this fall? Because if it’s not, we’ve challenged our commenters to get our review up to 100,000 comments. Which is not at all an unreasonable goal for them.

Do you think you can correctly answer five Community trivia questions written by a man who’s Twitter handle is @gcchumanbeing. Well, if you said yes, that’s actually pretty impressive. Tonight, we’ll be tweeting out all five questions from @AVTVClub, and the first person to email us will win a one-of-a-kind hoodie featuring the timeline diagram from “Remedial Chaos Theory,” donated by A.V. Club reader @gcchumanbeing (or Tom, as his friend’s probably call him). More details here.

We’re going to go ahead and say that this video compilation of every time Abed has said “cool” is pretty cool, because we have no shame.

Adult Swim picks up Dan Harmon show, animated Harold And Kumar, other things
I know this is the kind of news that sends Community fans into full freakout mode, but let’s maybe take a second and just hope there will be TWO Dan Harmon shows on the air instead of one. Okay? Look at Annie’s Boobs. He’s not freaking out, and he’s a monkey. Let’s keep it together.

See the Greendale Seven as video game characters in these exclusive Community finale images
Annie is not that pale. Also, if there’s not a playable game using these images less than 24 hours after the episode airs, I will lose my faith in the internet.

Victory is ours! Parks And Recreation is getting a full 22-episode pick up, and so is Up All Night, which is really good if you’re not watching it. We feel the need to inform you that also Whitney is getting another season, a full season, while Community is only getting 13 episodes. But the pounding in our heads just won’t let us process this informaiton.
