I thought I posted about this show before, but a quick search didn't find anything. Maybe I misspelled it...Anyway, fucking brilliant show.

If you've never seen it use the summer to check it out.

Excellent show! Although I'm worried they're starting to run out of new things to do.

We've discussed it here, briefly.

Funniest show on tv.

I enjoy the fact that they've given up on it actually being a show about people at a community college, abandoning all pretense of reality. On the other hand, some of the imitation shows they do haven't quite been fabulous.

Seriously, watch this show.

We're counting the days until Professor Kane confronts Magnitude about his little "pop pop" problem.

Um, Magnitude died.

Really? On the show or in real life?

In the show.

Magnitude: "Pop..." *dies*
Troy: "Pop? Pop What?! Pop What?! What was he trying to tell us?!"

I haven't started watching the show yet, but this doesn't look good:

I remember reading a decade ago that Chase was hard to work with, and was really good at burning bridges in the industry.

I don't care if Chevy is hard to work with or not, calling someone out in front of his wife and kid is a coward's move. Nobody packing more than your average third grader would ever do something like that.

So far some of the magic is missing this season. It's still very good, but it's no longer unbelievably awesome.

How old is this daughter? He's like 90 or something.

And he was banned from SNL, and he sounds like a pretty big dick:

http://www.zimbio.com/Infamou....1

Chevy Chase was banned from hosting the show again after the February 15, 1997 episode due to his verbal abuse of the cast and crew during the week. Chase became notorious for his treatment of certain cast members when hosting past episodes, particularly his remarks to openly gay cast member Terry Sweeney.

Note: In 1985, Chase suggested that a perfect skit for Sweeney would be one in which he plays an AIDS victim who gets weighed every week. Chase's abusive behavior during the 1985 episode and other episodes are detailed in the Live From New York: An Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live book.

Chase is the father of three girls, Cydney Cathalene (born January 4, 1983), Caley Leigh (born January 19, 1985), and Emily Evelyn (born September 29, 1988).

None is super young.

NBC's odd creature of a sitcom will return next year, albeit for a shortened 13-episode run.

Dan Harmon is off the show.

So Community didn't get cancelled, but unless there's some sort of miracle, it's dead.

A producer from Happy Endings will be involved now and I enjoy that show. I will be pissed off that they aren't keeping the same people but hopeful that since the new guys old show doesn't suck maybe he won't ruin community.

The Asylum episode was pretty awesome.
