Dan Harmon Apologizes for Bashing ‘Community’ Season 4
13 hours ago | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Some of the drama behind the making of Sony and NBC’s continuing education comedy show Community has been almost as fascinating to watch as the show itself. Creator and showrunner Dan Harmon was unceremoniously fired from the show after season 3, and he subsequently issued an account of his deposition in which he stated flatly: “I’m not saying you can’t make a good version of ‘Community’ without me, but I am definitely saying that you can’t make my version of it.”
Harmon was recently reinstated as showrunner in time for the start of production on season 5, hinting in his announcement that star Joel McHale had thrown his weight around a little to help bring the show’s original creator back. Anyone ...

Dan Harmon Rips 'Community' Season 4
17 June 2013 2:02 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Dan Harmon, the fired and re-hired creator of "Community," has now watched the fourth season of his cult comedy. And he didn't like what he saw when the show was under the direction of replacement showrunners David Guarascio and Moses Port.
"I watched ['Community'] Season 4. I guess I already knew this, but apparently I'm quite a genius. It was weird. I think I pretty feel pretty comfortable expressing any kind of like, 'Eh, not my cup of tea' about it, because ... this has been expressed a thousand times over, it's obviously not somebody doing what they do, and trying really hard to make people happy. It is very much like an impression, and an unflattering one. It's just 13 episodes of, 'Oh, I'm Dan Harmon! Die Hard!'" Harmon said on his latest Harmontown podcast.
"The weird thing that keeps eating at me is there's a system in place that's winning. Because »

Joel McHale Is 'Thrilled' About Dan Harmon's Return
17 June 2013 11:50 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
"Community" star Joel McHale is the latest in a long line of luminaries to ask, "What would you do for a Klondike bar?" and you'd better have a darn good answer, because you might be asked to prove it over the next few months.
McHale has partnered with Klondike for the What Would You Do for A Klondike Bar? Challenge, a summer-long contest featuring the comedian and several nostalgic celebrities of the '80s and '90s, in which fans can suggest acts that the celebrities will be required to carry out in pursuit of the fabled ice cream bar. The only catch? If your idea is chosen, you have to do the deed too. Luckily, there are prizes, bragging rights and potential viral video fame up for grabs in the process, if such things entice you. The first celebrity participant is Alfonso Ribeiro, star of "The Fresh Prince of »

Dan Harmon compares watching season 4 of 'Community' to... some terrible stuff
17 June 2013 10:09 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Only one thing could get Dan Harmon to watch the fourth season of Community, the NBC sitcom that was so cruelly ripped away from him last spring: being reinstated as his creation’s executive producer.
And now that he has watched it… hoo boy.
Harmon spilled his thoughts during the most recent edition of “Harmontown,” the digressive comedy show-slash-podcast he hosts with Jeff B. Davis each week. At first, his reaction was fairly tame; Harmon said he felt comfortable calling the season “not my cup of tea,” since it was obviously an “impression, and an unflattering one” of Community under his own stewardship. »

'Community' Makes It Official
11 June 2013 7:48 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Los Angeles — NBC's quirky sitcom "Community" is getting creator Dan Harmon back in charge for season five.
NBC said Monday that Harmon will be joined by another former "Community" producer, Chris McKenna.
Harmon was replaced as showrunner for season four after a clash with then-cast member Chevy Chase. In voicemails that Harmon released last year, Chase called "Community" a "mediocre sitcom."
Chase has left the series set at a community college. The ensemble cast includes Joel McHale, Yvette Nicole Brown and Alison Brie.
"Community" has modest ratings but a devoted following, among them the 5,000 or so fans who attended a Comic-Con panel last summer.
In May, NBC announced that the sitcom had been renewed for a fifth year but didn't say where it would land on the 2013-14 schedule. »

The press release also details that host Wendy Williams will star as Matron Mama Morton in "Chicago" on Broadway for »

Dan Harmon Returns To Community

Community creator Dan Harmon is the new Doctor! All right, so he won’t be donning an Inspector Spacetime costume and stepping into the Tardis to replace Matt Smith, but the better, actual news is that Harmon is returning to run his cult sitcom.After being removed by production company Sony / quitting at the end of the third season of the show (delete according to preferred version of events), Harmon was replaced by Moses Port and David Guarascio, who struggled to find the right tone for the show and usually ended up creating a sort of faux Community that had many elements of the series that Harmon crafted, but none of its special charm or, frankly, weird magic.Now, thanks apparently to the efforts of cast members including Joel McHale (who were apparently as dissatisfied by the quality of the scripts in the last year as their small but dedicated »
Dan Harmon Returns to Community
2 June 2013 8:01 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Creator Dan Harmon will be back at the helm of NBC's Community. He will once again serve as showrunner for the upcoming fifth season. After some cryptic tweets, Harmon confirmed the long circulating rumors of his return by saying:
"Yes yes yes! I'm back I'm back I'm back. You can thank @joelmchale."
Last year, Harmon was replaced by David Guarascio and Moses Port (Just Shoot Me) after a highly publicized dispute with cast member Chevy Chase, who will not be back next season. I'm still puzzled as to why the network took Chase's side in the first place. After Harmon was forced off, it felt like salt on the wound when Chase was only back in a very diminished capacity, serving little to no purpose in the story lines.
The unofficial goal/motto of "six seasons and a movie" has a much more hopeful ring to it now. Last season, »

Dan Harmon Returns For Community Season 5!
2 June 2013 1:22 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
In probably one of the most highly welcomed twitter notices of all time, Dan Harmon confirmed that he will be heading back to care for his cult-favourite television show Community after a year long absence to helm the upcoming Season 5.
As all fans of the show know and for those that have just started to catch up on Community via bittorrent or Netflix (that’s okay, you’re forgiven) – Community is the story of a diverse group of community college students that attend probably the worst college in America; Greendale Community College, school motto E Pluribus Anus and their gender non-specific mascot the Human Being. It was initially centered around Jeff Winger aka Joel McHale as a disbarred self-obsessed lawyer who had to return to school to earn a law degree and the study group he formed grow into a show about friends, family and … well, that’s bullsh*t. »

It was just over a year ago that series creator Dan Harmon was replaced as showrunner on NBC's cult hit "Community" following a public dispute with cast member Chevy Chase.

Harmon posted this morning on his Twitter feed. " I'm back I'm back I'm back. You can thank @joelmchale." The 13-episode fourth season featured David Guarascio and Moses Port ("Just Shoot Me") as the series' co-showrunners and executive producers.
