Dan Harmon Fired from Community
While I’ll still be covering Community for Go Miso sideshows, the announcement that Dan Harmon is leaving Community gives me zero expectation that the final season will be worth watching. This continues my theory that none of these executives actually watch the shows they make decisions for. It seems to me that they think we watch the show because of the star power of pretty celebs like Joe McHale and Alison Brie. Or perhaps they think Community fans are all attending community college ourselves, and we are so shallow that we simply like the story idea of the show. Bottom line, Community fans are dedicated to this show for the fantastic writing that consistently parodies TV tropes and challenges our expectations of what a sit-com can be. And that is all because of show runner Dan Harmon. Firing Dan Harmon is more than just a bad business decision, it shows a cynicism about what makes good television—-WHAT AUDIENCES WANT—-that is staggering.
Newsflash, NBC: AUDIENCES WANT GOOD WRITING. If I were in this only for Alison Brie’s (actual) boobs, I’d tape that bootleg from the GQ photoshoot over my TV screen and be done with it.

This is an episode I will never, EVER get bored of watching, fucking fantastic <3

Last night, for six glorious seconds, Kurt and Blaine went all Jersey Shore.
I was sure it was the last article I was ever going to do for anybody,” Thompson said in a 1974 interview with Playboy. “Then when it came out, there were massive numbers of letters, phone calls, congratulations, people calling it a ‘great breakthrough in journalism.’ And I thought, ‘Holy shit, if I can write like this and get away with it, why should I keep trying to write like the New York Times?’ It was like falling down an elevator shaft and landing in a pool full of mermaids.
This gif broke so I’m redoing it.

I’m thinking that gun prop wasn’t cheap. May as well get as much use out of it as possible.
These were the copies I read in my school when I was eleven or twelve. Just in case you were wondering.
Oofah.
