Dan Harmon's narration to close out the series at the end here gets me every time. It's funny, sweet & a little sad all at the same time.

Whats the latest on the movie? Last I know it got stuck because of a recent writers strike?

It was delayed again because Donald had a stroke. They also have a lot of trouble locking Joel down because hes doing a lot of stuff. Hes actually the hardest to schedule because they refuse to block shoot the film. Much better for everyone if everyone is on set improvising.

I haven't seen the most recent season yet but that's how I'd characterize *Animal Control*: solid. I think the show really suffered from having a different length season every year & none of them being particularly long.
I think it can be a massive benefit for a sitcom to have a nice long first season to get a rhythm & work out the kinks.

Personally I just dig the cast. It’s on the smaller side and I didn’t recognize anyone outside Joel and the dude from Upload, but they’re all funny. I like finding new funny people. The fake looking and acting animals crack me up, too.
It’s just kind of a no-pressure show that feels like hanging out with a fun group of people for 20 minutes.

Writer's strike, then Donald Glover and Joel McHale were stuck in contracts for shows and couldn't get time away for filming the movie, then Donald had a stroke and is still recovering. I think it's never happening and, if it does, it'll have to be filmed very tediously with careful shots because all the actors won't be able to be on set at the same time.

We're close! I'm on my second rewatch (in a row, not ever) and tonight is S6E1. I'll probably watch it a third time, because it's a nearly perfect "last show before bed" kind of show.

At the Yahoo party all of the executives were told not to tell Dan Harmon that so many people tried to watch episode one it crashed their servers. One of the executives got drunk and let it slip. Well over ten million different users tried to access the show at the same time. Much larger than the viewer base the Nielsen Ratings company had been reporting. This was a very well watched and loved show that was on the verge of cancellation every week because of that antiquated notebook system used for TV Ratings. All of the BTS shit happened and NBC decided to favor the bankable star over the creative force because they didn't realise so many people were watching it either. If we had a better ratings system this would have gotten a much better run than it did.

I doubt that... if it was true, Yahoo would have been shouting about record viewership for their new streaming venture.

Yahoo Screen sucked ass. The site was literally unusable. It would cut to commercial and then start playing a different episode afterwards and then the site would just crash if you tried to rewind or scrub. I have no doubt Yahoo was just run by idiots who didn't know what they were doing.

Not currently, but they operated as such in the past and during the time frame Community was on Yahoo Screen and they offered a lot of b2b web infrastructure services. They absolutely should have known how to make a better product than what they made.

I love Community, but I think out of all the endings the show had due to it possibly getting cancelled, this one is by far the weakest.
To me it feels like season 6 gets worse with every re-watch and this ending leaves me feeling nothing.

Season 4's ending is worse. I die a little when Abed says "we finally found a way to make paintball cool again." It's like the writers were giving each other high fives for their brilliant idea of copying Harmon's homework.

This is a microcosm of why the show, and by extension Dan Harmon, isn't as good as everyone says. It's deliberately meta and calls out its own meta nature as if that either absolves it or serves as a commentary on the show or gag.
You see the same thing in Rick and Morty. It thinks it's so clever for having the characters point out its a show.
There's no real point to it. It's effectively a Family Guy style cutaway gag. Someone said, "wouldn't it be funny if..." and just ran with it.
And they're both fine shows, Community and Rick and Morty, but hardly the peak of comedy sitcoms and not quite as intelligent as people say.

Because if you don't at least do it obliquely then you're violating a principle of fiction.

It does try to apologize for itself for being a bit absurdist during the legalese voice over.
They wanted to do this, but realized it's just a sketch, that it's unconnected to the show, so they put a disclaimer to hang a lampshade on it. Cool, but you still did the thing.

But the whole last episode is like that. they're literally pitching "season 7" for the whole episode. It fits right in with that.

halbornApr 22, 2026

That's the characters talking about their lives as if their lives are a TV show, not acknowledging that they actually are.

j01101111shApr 23, 2026

Sure but they call it season 7 which is a meta reference and the entire point of them talking about their lives is to illustrate that the show has reached a natural stopping point. The entire episode is using the characters in this meta context so it's not completely detached to have the commercial doing the same thing.
ETA listen, I'm not trying to felate Harmon. I do think he's overrated by some but this episode is very well done, IMO

This is the worst example you could've used given this is one of the most clever examples of being meta in either shows. You made yourself look incredibly wrong

How is it clever? It's humorous. But it's literally an ouroboros of fourth wall breaking. It acknowledges the show as a show, then itself as a commercial.

Nah. If you want to be clever about being meta then you have to do it in a way that makes sense in the context of the fiction. I like this scene but analytically it's literally just Harmon talking about a show he created.

I don’t think of it this negatively, but this scene made me go “Yup, this was written by Dan Harmon.” It’s just so “him” that it took me out of it completely. Not a bad idea, probably just needed to be edited by any other voice before the final script.

Of course it's so "him". It's the last scene of the show and a farewell from the creator.

I get it. Maybe for me there’s just a line for “a bit too much Harmon” that other people don’t have. All in all, I liked it. It just took me out of it for a second.
