Community Mixes Graduation, Paintball and Dark Timelines for Its Finale
10 May 2013 4:37 PM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
Here we are: Community’s fourth season finale and I can already tell it’s a polarizing one. Some will say it was too heavily reliant on what’s come before, that it’s merely fan service and well below what is expected of Community. I would vastly disagree with those notions. Does “Advanced Introduction to Finality” make blatant references to older episodes and jokes? Absolutely it does and I was thankful for it. I’ve seen criticisms of this season suggesting the new showrunners spent too much time referencing Dan Harmon’s tenure and I find that to be ridiculous as a criticism of this season alone. When Harmon was in charge, he was constantly calling back to things he’d already done. He reused concepts and jokes often and without mercy and he did so with purpose: to be entertaining. I found this finale to be plenty entertaining. »

'Community' Season 4 finale: The Darkest Timeline returns with paintball and some Annie-Jeff action
9 May 2013 7:20 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
In many ways, "Community" Season 4 has been a multi-episode ode to the show's past. So it's fitting that the show's final confirmed episode would be a sequel to Season 3's "Remedial Chaos Theory." Yes, the Darkest Timeline is back. And it's not happy with reality.
At least there is a reality. Throughout most of this finale, "Advanced Introduction to Finality," I was more than a little concerned that "Community" had finally and suddenly given up on the idea of keeping this crazy show grounded in the real world. Thank goodness -- a "Community" un-moored by reality would rapidly fall apart.
And, quite frankly, the Darkest Timeline was never meant to be more than fantasy.
Four years, one graduate
Greendale really must be a terrible community college. That's the only explanation for only one member of the study group managing to get any sort of degree in four years. But at »

'Community' should be canceled: 5 reasons it's time to say goodbye
8 May 2013 4:45 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Ladies and gentlemen, please ready your torches and pitchforks. Because you're not going to like this article one bit.
NBC should cancel "Community" after Season 4.
"Wait, what?" you ask, being the staunchly devoted "Community" fan that would actually read this article. "Why is she saying this? And to think I thought this idiot writer was a fan!"
That's okay. You have every right to be confused and disappointed in me. But this doesn't mean you should ignore what I'm about to say here. After all, it's part of my job to think about "Community," and I do so regularly. I didn't come to this cancellation decision lightly.
Here are my five reasons to say goodbye now:
1. "Community" isn't giving us a good product.
Even if you have enjoyed the episodes that make up "Community" Season 4, you probably don't think the show is as good as it once was. Sure, there »

Modern Warfare Season one, episode 23
Community's first big parody: an out-of-control paintball fight on the Greendale campus that references Die Hard, Terminator, The Warriors and more
"What I love about Modern Warfare is that it starts out very grounded. It's rooted in reality, but then it's not afraid to go really conceptual and high art. It's all about early registration. The winner of the paintball contest gets early registration to classes. Joel McHale's character Jeff Winger wakes up one hour later, and the campus is a wasteland, not unlike Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later. And from there it's all about survival. My favourite part of filming the episode was my character [sociopathic Spanish teacher Señor Chang] getting to do a John Woo entrance, »

Community Makes Body Switching Work Despite All Odds
26 April 2013 5:22 PM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
When it comes to Community’s high concept episodes, everything hangs on the show’s level of commitment. The best examples throughout the show’s run have been the episodes that took an idea, saw it through to the end and made sure to include a heartwarming conclusion. “Basic Human Anatomy” – written by Jim Rash, who plays Dean Pelton and won an Academy Award for penning The Descendents – is one of the most successful high concept episodes Community has ever done. Body switching is an idea I absolutely hate, which made me even more excited for this episode. If anything could turn two friends switching bodies into an enjoyable experience, it would be Community, and it did just that because it committed to the bit. When everyone else in the group was rolling their eyes at Troy and Abed pretending to occupy the other’s body, they didn’t bat an eye. »

Thursday Comedy Roundup: ‘Community’ 4.11 & ‘Parks & Rec’ 5.21

Community, Season 4, Episode 11: “Basic Human Anatomy”
Written by Jim Rash
Directed by Beth McCarthy-Miller
Airs Thursdays at 8pm Et on NBC
This week’s Community comes from the pen of Oscar-winning screenwriter Jim Rash, a.k.a. Dean Pelton. It appears to be an episode about the dissolution of Troy and Britta’s relationship, but at its heart it’s just another episode about Troy and Abed. In that respect, it is far more effective than its gimmicky premise would suggest. If anything holds it back it’s that Danny Pudi isn’t nearly as good at impersonating Troy as Donald Glover is Abed. The reveal that it’s all an act explains this, but doesn’t quite serve to redeem it.
Jim Rash also gives himself the best material he’s had all season, and rather than requiring him to dress up, he undresses. The Dean has been »

It's 'Freaky Friday' For Troy & Abed
25 April 2013 7:13 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
This week's "Community" episode is a special one: It's the first outing written by cast member Jim Rash, who plays Dean Pelton on the show.
In the episode, titled "Basic Human Anatomy," Troy (Donald Glover) and Abed (Danny Pudi) share their love of body-swap comedies -- even going so far as to re-create a key moment from a classic of the genre. The episode certainly has a different flavor than Rash's last writing credit -- he and (former "Ben & Kate" star) Nat Faxon wrote the Oscar-winning screenplay for the George Clooney film "The Descendants."
Also in Thursday's episode, Annie (Alison Brie) and Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown) learn that someone else is going to be the class valedictorian, and of course, they can't let that stand.
"Community" airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. Et on NBC. »

The Thursday Playlist: Sweeps Begin With a Community Body Switch
25 April 2013 6:23 AM, PDT | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »
Here's something you've probably never heard anyone say while watching NBC's Community: Yeah, that could happen.
And so it is this week, with an episode (8/7c) by Oscar-winning screenwriter/goofball extraordinaire Jim Rash (Dean Pelton), in which Troy and Abed go too far — what else is new — in their obsession with cheesy body-switching movies. Before you can say Freaky Friday, Troy is adopting Abed's dislocated mannerisms while Abed channels Troy's giddy swagger. Donald Glover and Danny Pudi are, as usual, a joy to watch, even if the message behind their madness is delivered with a heavy hand reflective of this uneven transitional season. And who could blame Rash for giving himself some of the best bits, as the Dean imagines he has pulled off his own body switch with his numero-uno obsession, the unamused Jeff Winger (Joel McHale).

Community: Jim Rash Previews Troy and Abed's Surprisingly Emotional Body Swap
24 April 2013 4:13 PM, PDT | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »
After a long wait, Jim Rash has finally brought his other talent to the set of Community (the first being his amaze-dean drag impersonations as Greendale's Dean Pelton). Rash, who won a Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar for 2011's The Descendants, penned this week's especially kooky episode "Basic Human Anatomy," in which Troy (Donald Glover) and Abed (Danny Pudi) swap bodies a la Freaky Friday. Sounds pretty great, right? Wrong, it sounds amazing and is a must-see for even the most disillusioned Community fans.

'Community' video: Chang ties up Malcolm McDowell at a Christmas party in 'Intro to Knots'
18 April 2013 9:22 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Christmas on "Community" is always ... interesting. For the Season 4 holiday episode, things might get downright deadly. That's just what happens when a crotchety history professor shows up at a Christmas party, apparently.
The action begins when Jeff (Joel McHale) decides to throw a holiday gathering at this apartment. Annie (Alison Brie), however, uses the party as an excuse to invite Professor Cornwallis (Malcolm McDowell). Why would Annie do such a thing? It seems that the group got a bad grade on a joint history paper, and the young Miss Edison wants to butter-up the teacher.
It doesn't work out so well.
The clip from "Intro to Knots" shows exactly how poorly Annie's plan has worked. By the time we meet the study group, their history grade has dropped to an F. Also, Abed's (Danny Pudi) shirt seems somewhat singed.
To make matters even worse, someone invited Chang (Ken Jeong) as well. »

Keck's Exclusives First Look: Mapping Community's Beginnings
16 April 2013 8:44 AM, PDT | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »
By the end of Lost's run, perplexed fans could have used a map to help navigate who had met whom in the flashback, flash-forward and sideways worlds.
Well, the May 2 episode of NBC's Community will find Abed (Danny Pudi) with just such a map of Greendale's students — or, as he calls it, his "crazy quilt of destiny." It illustrates Abed's theory that the students are all interconnected through past encounters. "Given Abed's fascination with origin stories, it's only fitting that he would at some point try to connect the dots," Pudi says. "It's fun to see Abed research the study group's history to see how we've affected each other in the past without ever even knowing it."

4 Reasons Donald Glover Is A God-Like Genius
6 April 2013 5:29 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Donald Glover is a modern miracle, and I’m an unabashed fan of everything the guy does. While many celebrities have attempted to bridge the divide between multiple art forms, few have done it with the multilevel success and talent as Donald Glover has.
Glover has gone from being a humble writer with the guys at 30 Rock, and auditioning for the role of Obama on Saturday Night Live, while still in college to starring in Community, alongside Chevy Chase and Joel McHale, as well as a cameo in the Muppet’s movie, to releasing a successful album and mix tape within a year of each other.
Glover has shown his aptitude in several different areas, from his growth out of his writing, which gives him the unique the advantage of having started from a point of where he was a writer before acting, as opposed to many actors who simply »

Community: Hilarious Hijinks at Britta’s Sophie B. Anthony Dance
6 April 2013 5:16 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
Britta Perry is a character unlike any other on television. She’s the worst, but she’s also the heart of Community, constantly striving to make the world a slightly better place. This part of her character takes on many different forms, such as forcing Jeff to confront his father or taking on some ridiculous cause she doesn’t fully understand. Whether she’s being loved or hated, Britta is always there to unify people for one reason or another. “Herstory of Dance” tackles this phenomenon head on, with Britta making a fool of herself by confusing Sophie B. Hawkins with Susan B. Anthony (made all the more funny because she has a cat named Susan B. Anthony) when the Dean announces a Sadie Hawkins dance. Britta mocks the Dean for how easy it is to throw a dance rather than do something meaningful, so she’s throwing her own dance. »

'Community' video: Watch the puppet and Sophie B. Hawkins tags from 'Herstory of Dance'
5 April 2013 1:17 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
While "Community" tends to be a rather hilarious show all of the time, its funniest moments often come in the final seconds of every broadcast. These random and ridiculous tags usually reflect upon the themes of the episode or preview what is to come.
For Thursday's (April 4) episode, "Herstory of Dance," there are actually two tags. The original tag filmed featured singer Sophie B. Hawkins spending time with Troy and Abed. Meanwhile, the aired tag showcased the puppets that will return for next week's "Intro to Felt Surrogacy."
You could only watch one of these tags during the original broadcast, but now you have the chance to decide which is best.
Before it was decided that the "Community" tag should preview the upcoming puppets, the original tag for this dance-themed episode brought Hawkins together with her big fans, Troy (Donald Glover) and Abed (Danny Pudi). The rest is musical hertory. »
