Lightning Lord Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I've been re-watching Northern Exposure, and besides being reminded of how good that show was, I totally recommend it for anyone looking for a Community fix. It's got a very different atmosphere, but a lot of the same, meta kind of humor. "Of course he has to go to Murmansk! Remember your comparative mythology." Also kicks in the fourth wall at one point and openly mocks contrived over-the-top tv show drama. Loooove that show. And The Goonies. And Community. I am all about the love, baby. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datepalm Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Yeah, but me? I'm mostly a hater. And NE spent a lot of time brushing up against the fourth wall...I just watched the ep where Maggie dreams Joel giving a WW2 air force briefing, asking for volunteers for a suicide mission while brandishing Joseph Campbell.

Datepalm Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Awww. I was hoping for maybe another season, despite issues with this last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NestorMakhnosLovechild Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Wish the show had a better finale. The last season, while definitely better than the abysmal season 4, was really up and down for me, and both parts of the finale were pretty bad. I hope they just put a bullet through its head and end it without the endless string of unfulfilled promises of wrap-up movies so that Dan Harmon can concentrate on putting something fresh and new out.

awesome possum Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Dan Harmon can concentrate on putting something fresh and new out. He already does: Rick and Morty. I haven't watched any but I've heard it's a bonafide hit for Adult Swim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red snow Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 He already does: Rick and Morty. I haven't watched any but I've heard it's a bonafide hit for Adult Swim. It's great. Honestly, I'm far happier that show is around next year than community. Would have been happy with both but I definitely feel like there's more energy to "rick and Morty" and I think we were lucky to get this final batch of very good community episodes. Sony is already shopping around online networks to see if they can get another season. Not sure if old seasons are on netflix, etc but now would be a good time for folk to rewatch it on there if they want to boost chances of a revival Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesome possum Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I believe Hulu Plus has the US rights whereas Netflix has international rights. Regardless, I hope someone gives it a chance. I will never not want more Community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnionAhaiReborn Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Regardless, I hope someone gives it a chance. I will never not want more Community. :agree: I have loved this damn show for years. It's not necessarily the greatest show ever or even my favorite, but it's got a special place in my heart and I don't think there will ever be another show like it. I knew cancellation was possible, but I'm more upset by it than I expected to be. The thought of not spending any more time with these characters just sucks, and I'd be absolutely thrilled if they found a way to do more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChampion Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 The only logical end to the series is Kenneth Parcell at 30 Rock hires Troy & Abed to create a sitcom for NBC. Which gets six seasons and a movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relic Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Such horseshit. Does nbc really think it has anything better to offer? Fucking hacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkess Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 For some reason this actually kind of surprised me. It had made it this far... :cry: I know Sony is shopping around, so there is hope for the future of Human Beings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEvilKing Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 This is overdue to be honest, but I suspect it might get picked up elsewhere. Expect more of the original cast to leave if it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horza Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Not really bothered.I attribute this to not being particularly impressed with S5 after about halfway, and Rick and Morty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sci-2 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I think it'll be hilarious to watch NBC try and make something stick in Community's place. It is kinda sad though not 100% unexpected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
