Jim Rash, who currently plays Dean Craig Pelton on Community, was recently nominated for an Academy Award--Best Screenplay based on Material Previously Produced or Published, for the movie The Descendants starring George Clooney. Rash co-wrote the screenplay with Alexander Payne and Nate Faxon, adapting it from the novel by Kaui Hart Hemmings.

Wouldn't it be cool of the "Dan" who posts here is actually "Dan Harmon"?

Hmm...

they got a timeslot again (these are episodes shot already), but the question is, will the series be renewed next season?

With Jim Rash winning an Oscar last night for co-writing The Descendants--and giving a fierce impression of Angelina Jolie while receiving the award--Community can now boast having an Academy Award winner.

...maybe NBC can think twice now about giving more respect to the show...

LOL, asa pa.

^^yup, renewed for a fourth (and not hopefully final) season of 13 episodes. Looks like shorter seasons are the norm these days.

Worst TV news I've heard. They should've cancelled the show instead:

New Showrunners to Replace Dan Harmon on Community
May 18, 2012 11:01 PM ET
by Michael Schneider

Greendale Community College has a new pair of headmasters. Just Shoot Me! alums Moses Port and David Guarascio have been tapped to step in and replace Dan Harmon as the new showrunners of NBC's Community. Harmon has been given a consulting producer title, but that doesn't mean he'll be actively involved on the show.

Even though NBC pleased fans by giving Community a 13-episode renewal last week, Harmon hadn't yet struck a deal with producer Sony Pictures TV to return as showrunner next season. That's because Sony had been looking to make a change at the top. Initially, Port and Guarascio (who more recently consulted on Happy Endings) turned the offer down — but Sony came back and sweetened the pot. The duo's credits also include Aliens in America; this season they wrote the Fox pilot El Jefe.

According to insiders, Harmon signed just a one-year deal last year, with no option that would force his return this season. With no new deal on the horizon, Harmon prepared a farewell message to run as a vanity production card during Community's season ender, but the idea was later nixed.

Sony is said to be looking at ways to broaden Community and attempt to extend the show's life on NBC — and it's no secret that studio and network execs have clashed with Harmon in the past. Insiders warn that Harmon is so closely identified with Community that squeezing him completely might alienate the show's small but fiercely loyal fan base. Not to mention most of the show's cast: "Dan's the creator of the show, the voice of the show, so I don't know how that would work without him," says star Joel McHale.

On Sunday, NBC Entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt said that he expected "Dan's voice to be a part of this show somehow. I'm just not sure if that means him running it day to day or consulting on it." (Harmon himself has said he's not interested in a consulting role.)

The decision to tap outside producers to join the show was also borne out of necessity, as Harmon's key producing partners are all exiting the show. Former exec producers Neil Goldman and Garrett Donovan (who signed a deal at 20th Century Fox TV to create new shows) have already been hired to run Fox's Ben and Kate, while coexecutive producer Chris McKenna has set up a deal at Universal TV to develop new shows — and insiders said he wouldn't have taken the showrunner job without Harmon's involvement. The seeds of this week's showdown were planted long before Harmon's public feud with star Chevy Chase, but it likely didn't help. "It's hard to imagine that Dan will be back on the show," one source said earlier this week. "And it's hard to imagine that Dan won't be back on the show."

I guess that says it all. This sucks!

And here I was gonna say how episode 20, in which the Greendale 7 turn into retro videogame characters, was the best episode ever.

The situation is even worse. No negotiations, apparently. He was just fired over the phone!

Is this due to the power of the Chevy? Or is he really that bad to deal with?

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #49 on:** May 20, 2012 at 05:13 AM »

By all non-Community groupie accounts, Harmon's a nightmare to deal with.

But the only people watching Community are its groupies, so...

I thought the season premiere was good, but different. They did a bit too much with it in attempts to show that it hadn't changed.

ok, good to know.
the new york times panned the 2 episodes it got in advance. so i didn't want to expect too much

Fans of the original Beverly Hills, 90210 will probably get a kick out of the American version of Inspector Spacetime shown in last episode's credits sequence.

Community has been renewed for a 5th season, with an order of 13 episodes.

The last episodes haven't been that good, and you could easily identify the episodes that they filmed after Chevy Chase's departure.

rusty · « **Reply #58 on:** May 11, 2013 at 11:14 AM »

Wow. I'm glad that it got renewed although the season is a bit of mixed bag. I thought that the finale was just downright awful.

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #59 on:** May 12, 2013 at 03:35 PM »

Wow. We're 100% opposites on that one, rusty. I thought the entire season was awful, and the finale was the saving grace of Season 4. It felt like the Harmon-penned episodes.
