At "Community's" Los Angeles PaleyFest panel on March 5, the cast and producers of the NBC comedy were on hand to preview what's ahead in Season 4: namely puppets, paintball, origin stories and a "Freaky Friday" homage penned by actor and Oscar winner Jim Rash.

MTV has given the greenlight to the puppet-populated project Warren the Ape, a spin-off of the Fox and IFC series Greg the Bunny, say the trades. The network has given the series, which will be a mock celeb-reality show, a 12-episode order. Bunny creators Spencer Chinoy, Sean Baker and Dan Milano will executive produce Warren, with Milano performing as the lead puppet character, a brash, out-of-work actor who is trying to revive his Hollywood career after Bunny was canceled. IFC aired a series of Bunny shorts before Fox ordered 13 episodes as a sitcom to air in 2002. Canceled after one season, Bunny returned to IFC in various formats. The show's creators broached the spin-off idea this year. The Fox series starred Seth Green, Sarah Silverman, Eugene Levy, Bob Gunton, Dina Waters, Drew Massey and Dan Milano. According to the trades, Seth Green might make cameo appearances in Warren but is not directly involved in the production.
