So good! Such a rewatch able show.
You stupid child…
Actually, on S6E7 of my latest rewatch
Whats the latest on the movie? Last I know it got stuck because of a recent writers strike?
I mean, c’mon Dan Harmon, some of us have work in the morning DAMN.
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.
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.
