Yesterday, the joyous parade of 'Community' creator Dan Harmon's season 5 return came to a screeching halt as word broke of the writer's harsh and controversial words regarding his reception of the NBC comedy's fourth season. Harmon almost immediately tweeted his apologies for the comments, but has once again gone to his personal blog for a much longer and involved apology.

Streets ahead, gang! After a somewhat surprising fifth season renewal for our beloved 'Community,' it seems NBC has yet another trick up its sleeve.

We'd be hard pressed to say who had the most brutal of cancellations and fruitful pickups between the five major networks this weekend, but few would offer that NBC had any undeserved ends.

Though still somewhat early in the Upfront seasons, several major broadcast networks have already gone ahead to grant early renewals to their strongest-performing series.

Even with NBC's abysmal ratings of late and the notoriously-troubled 'Community's fairly moderate performance of late, fans eagerly await news of a potential fifth season.

With 'Community's long-awaited season 4 premiere finally arriving on Thursday, February 7, the cast have naturally made the press rounds of late and been subject to a number of questions surrounding the show's bubble status, and star Chevy Chase's dramatic (but not unsurprising) exit from the series.

'Community' Season 4: Chevy Chase's Exit Revealed?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 03:30:07 +0000

No one was particularly surprised (except maybe the writers) when Chevy Chase announced that he'd be quitting his role as 'Community's Pierce Hawthorne, particularly given the rough history with both published comments and now-departed creator Dan Harmon. Yet, with two episodes yet to be shot before Chase's exit, and the always hopeful possibility of a fifth season, have the writers re-worked the season to incorporate Pierce's departure? Could Pierce be meeting Mr. Mayhem?

'Community' Shocker: Chevy Chase Officially Leaves the Series

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 23:08:46 +0000

Streets ahead? Streets behind? Just plain streets? Any loyal 'Community' fan knows that for as long as the series has aired on NBC, series star Chevy Chase has had a public distaste for its brand of humor, his character Pierce Hawthorne, and particularly former show-runner Dan Harmon. Chase himself has hinted multiple times that he might leave the series, and has now officially confirmed his exit. But with so much of the thirteen-episode season 4 shot, will we really miss him?

Chevy Chase Still Hates 'Community,' Calls Sitcom the "Lowest Form of Television"

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 19:30:58 +0000

For years now, many have lauded the Emmys as a predictable ceremony, including Jon Stewart last night, but one thing that certainly didn't surprise us was the lack of acknowledgement for 'Community,' in particular its outspoken star Chevy Chase. Over the last year we've heard Chase take potshots at everything from the series to departing showrunner Dan Harmon, but with Harmon gone and 'Community' possibly heading into its last season, what new bile does Chase have for the show?
