The thing I loved most about community is how every single big event at greendale like paintball or the meowmeowbeenz turns the entire campus into a post apocalyptic society
It’s ironic that the reasons the characters left in real life matches their in show characters perfectly. Chevy Chase kept fighting and wanted things his own way, Yvette Nicole Brown left for family reasons, and Donald Glover left to be Childish.
But season 5 is still terrific. Of course losing Donald Glover was huge. But they were able to compensate, at least for some episodes. Season 6 is up and down. The final 3 episodes are brilliant though.
this perfectly mirrors how a real group of friends who meet threw college will split up bit by bit until the group does not exist as we knew it once before.
I know everyone says Community died after some kind of season or moment, but I graduated college not too long ago and honestly really connected with Jeff's fear of everyone leaving in the last seasons. Call it what you will, but it is a depressing feeling. I had the best moments with my friends in college and now everyone is just kind of leaving to do their own thing. I thought that connection in the show was necessary.
Already on my second time rewatching it since it came back onto Netflix. This show has always had a special place in my heart, right up there with Firefly. It deserved better than what NBC did to it. #sixseasonsandamovie
Yeah, that is probably why season 1 was the best season of Community. Especially with the last scene, a sorta plot twist on what started the study group.
I kinda agree i liked when they would “study” for classes and the going to them but i dont think it died it just wasnt the same hut thats y season 1 was my favorite
So you're saying its impossible for you to like seasons 5 and 6? They graduated at the end of season 4. Well, after since the final episode of season 4 deals with Jeff graduating early. And regardless if Harmon was fired from Community for season 4 or not, he still had to create a reason for them to come back in season 5 and 6.
Netflix was picking up all these tv shows but didn't even think to grab Community and push it to the stratosphere. Ugh. Seasons 1 through 3 are perfect.
Hulu has it now but ik what you mean. Look at what happened with Arrested Development and Futurama when Netflix picked them up for new episodes though.
You know the show was great in its early days. I am from the UK and often don't enjoy or understand America tv/comedy. I found this show fantastic and funny though
Sydnie Marie right Pudi is such a great actor. But without Troy. His character became a grown man that the group babied. His bloopers were hilarious though
twix, Glover desperately wants a movie is what Joel said. Yvette only left at season 6 to take care of family and would probably be happy for a movie. Chevy yeah you’ve got that one right.
Community never died. It ended the day Jeff graduated, then it became its own spin-off. And it was great, every minute of it. I'm happy we had more Community for a little while, and I'm still hoping to see a Movie someday
@@sleeexs If Psych can still pop off a movie every other year, Community can squeeze one through the cracks. Especially with such big names attached to it in retrospect.
That's a great way of describing the different vibe of the final 2 seasons. They're still very funny and heartfelt, but the differences in tone and even the lighting can make it weird when directly compared to the previous 2. Internally justifying it as a spin-off is a really neat compromise.
So true, I came to the show later on Netflix. I love it at first and I would watch it on my lunch breaks and then discuss them with a fellow fan on the job. Once Jeff graduated it didn't feel the same and I stopped watching episodes midway through season 5.
Troy was what held the group together wishing the show. For proof look no further than remedial chaos theory. The darkest timeline occurs when Troy leaves the room...
When Troy leaves, it's a disaster- but still hilarious. When Abed leaves, that's when I feel the "heart" goes away because everyone is worse off for it. And to complete the analogy, when Pierce leaves... nothing really happens.
I watched the show after it was finished and as I watched and realized I was getting closer and closer to the last season/episode the theme song made me sadder and sadder.
@@0Panquake nothing sad about it. TBBT was an enjoyable comfort-food show that catered to an audience that wanted to start and stop watching at any time in its run. Community offers a deeper enjoyment for those who sink themselves into it (at least the first three seasons), but it was never designed to be the most accessible show.
@@54raynor true, i guess what i fell is sad about it is that this system is making it harder for shows like community to have a chance to get that many seasons
Exactly. Duncan was there for like 2 episodes, and Elroy was forced in after Jeff and Dean ask him for a refund on the Virtual Reality thing. That was so random. The Insurance lady kinda made sense to always be around. Then Hickey joined the group outta nowhere after him and Jeff shared Office rooms. Then Hickey left outta nowhere too 😂
I couldn't even watch the last season. Community was very funny, but imo whenever it needed substance or heart it failed miserably. Potential, yes. Execution, pitiful. Couldn't keep watching to only be disappointed.
I feel totally in sync with Jeff in the final episode when he realises how much he needed his friends and how lost he felt without them. Let us take this as a lesson in not taking our friends for granted.
I believe Jeff is supposed to represent us, the viewers; the strong community of fans, that having a hard time letting the series go. Jesus ain't the only one wept on that day.
I mean, Community is now on Netflix, plus Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs and Alison Brie were in Netflix originals shows and the Russo Brothers just made a Netflix original movie. I think it's safe to say Netflix is our best shot at getting the Community movie.
@ChujinDrag0n that.....actually sounds like an interesting idea if done well, however despite community’s loony and satirical nature, they’ve always followed a kinda grounded reality with the exception of that Halloween episode where zombies became canon, so it couldn’t really work as much as that would be fun to see
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that Community never died. The cast departures were tough, especially because I love Pierce and Troy and Shirley, but Dan managed to make this show still shine in places of darkness. The Meow Meow Beanz episode and the last paintball in season six are my two go-to examples of how the show still managed to keep its head up despite everything.
@@worm4165 I think they gave Frankie some of the best lines. Her hope speech, her trying not to call the Dean an idiot, her awkwardness about getting ready with Britta and Annie.
@@phinn.with.an.f Frankie and Dean had a real Miss Bellum and Mayor (from Powerpuff Gurlz) vibe. I felt like Frankie and Hickey and Elroy didn't fit in because they were too grounded. The other characters started as grounded but as the seasons progressed they had to become more and more eccentric (there is a single word for that which I can't think of RN) and by the time these characters came in, the original cast seemed like they were coming from a different show.
I didn't like Meow Meow Beanz episode or the final paintball episode. I feel like they didn't really have its heart at that point but yes, it did come very close to the original.
The series finale is a fantastic finale because it allows the audience to interpret what happens in several different ways. Personally I like to view it as a circular story where Jeff becomes a Pierce character and remains at Greendale for decades because that’s the only place he’s ever felt like he belongs, which in a way makes Pierces intuition in season 1 correct that he saw a lot of himself in Jeff. It allows us, the audience, to imagine a new generation of Abeds, Annie’s, Shirley’s, Brittas, Troys, and Jeffs.
Pierce was the best character. I absolutely hate how they constantly made him the villain. He fought with Harmon so much because he didn’t like the amount of racist lines he was given
They never should have made chang a student. They needed to keep him as a teacher. That was his strongest position. Without that power he had over the other people, it made his character weak and watered down
Honestly I would’ve been fine if they had written Chang off entirely, either after they found out his credentials were fake or after he kidnapped the dean. He had no character development, and had pretty much no depth outside of being insane. In my opinion, he didn’t have much comedic substance either.
Troy was the only selfless character, everybody else wanted their agenda fulfilled, and had to somehow control something the group was doing, everybody else had selfish moments, where Troy was mold-able. Troy was the gem.
They ALL had selfish moments. That's what made them somewhat believable characters. Remember when Troy joined the football team and started acting like a D-bag?
Troy decided to betray the group in Modern Warfare. Though he did get paintballed immediately afterwards. It was uncharacteristic for sure which made it disappointing
My dad always said, “it takes a smart guy to play the dumb guy.” I love Donald Glover both as an actor and musician, and his starring on the show was huge. I still loved the show all the way, but it would never be the same.
You can hate Chevy Chase but don't hate Pierce, that character was amazing for the group. The balance of all the characters was very important. There are eight spokes on that wheel, Dan Harmon being one of them.
Stellarfractre It’s really a shame that Chevy Chase chose to be the way he was, his character had incredible potential for growth which never really had the chance to be fulfilled.
I always thought the empty chair between Jeff and Annie was for the audience... like the audience was the eighth member of the group. But maybe it's Dan Harmon's chair. And he's always in the room, in spirit.
I'm dying you guys!!!!🤣😂😭🤣😂🤣😂suuuch a great show, with soooo many awesome scenes and soundbites! What a great cast ensemble too! I loved them all, because I could identify as all of them! Too bad Chevy Chase is crazy! See what I did there, THATS AN A EXPLAN-A-BRAG!!!!!! 😁
It was a big change when Troy left but I thought it gave Abed a chance to grow as a character. Although, they never did explain what happened to his girlfriend...
Glover leaving was the deepest cut to the show, but even though it was no longer the best show in the world with out him, it still continued to be amazing. If they get a movie, Glover has to be in it.
@@shaynguyen836 i think you're correct. now i wonder....would donald glover and danny puddi be willing/able to film a few(like 3-4) episodes of troy and abed in the morning if the people who hold the copy-right allowed it? i would be content with 3-4 episodes per year...
the bitter thing is me and my best friend thought of each other as troy and abed -because tv characters are more canon than our real personalities duh- i was troy, she was abed. then I left the relationship. it was the day community died in me and i never can bring myself to even mention the show despite it being my favourite comedy show.
Troy leaving was a terrible loss to community, but I can always take solace in geothermal escapism being one of the greatest episodes of the entire show.
Aw Yvette Nicole Brown didn’t get a shout out in the first two minutes like the others. For generations that watched Drake and Josh, she was a pretty big driving force to watch the show too.
Let me assure that Britta needs to be growninup but the first phase to closure the character would be that she actually has a better relationship with parent thanks to Frankie. To me at least she never change the rebellion phase but grownup a lot in that episode.
Remedial Chaos theory, while rightly being highly regarded was even more prescient than intended, as the person who left to get the pizza for the Darkest Timeline, was Troy. When he ended up leaving the show later, that was the real life Darkest Timeline and when the series died
Didn't even think about that but its so true. After Troy left, it was as if the show actually transitioned to the darkest timeline where nothing was funny or quirky or interesting anymore
Hey I thought of a plot If Troy comes back that means he finished his boat trip, and got the money so they go to Japan on holiday. Remeber the japanese kid that pretend to be jeff to the dean? The one that became the leader of the japanese mafia...? See where I'm going with this?
I went to community college. My friend group was the most ridiculous paring possible and made for many memories. Kind of miss those times, and this show did it justice.
@@ikhy1990 they made a psych movie years after it ended, and if someone offered to fund it, it could still be possible, plus it technically doesn't need all of the same cast, just enough to make it community, and if its a movie than it would be much cheaper for one film of the same quality as the show in a 1 hour and 30 minute film instead of several hours of episodes, never say never, except to say never.
@@ikhy1990 imo the ONLY person "too famous" is Donald. They could probably make it work without him, but it would be nice to have him on. None of the cast are even movie actors anyway, so I'm not sure how you can make that statement....Joel McHale, Alison Brie, Gillian Jacobs, and Ken Jeong are all television actors and the rest are pretty much only known for Community.
Having gone to community college myself, I feel like the decline as seasons progressed kind of coincides with actual community college experience. You get a couple really solid years with a core group of friends. Then people move on and your community college experience just kind of becomes eh till it's finally your turn to leave. But maybe that's just me. 🤷♂️
As sad as I am/was that Community ended, realistically it couldn’t go on much longer. The characters couldn’t stay in community college forever. Otherwise, the show would become M*A*S*H*
Abed's character didn't work without Troy. When Troy was around it balanced Abed and made them both extremely funny, but when Troy leaves, Abed becomes this sinister character that was completely different.
i also felt like britta is written to fill in the "airhead" hole of the group. she was annoying but full of substances, arrogant in her selflessness but well meaning still. she's taken after someone real around us but after troy and pierce left she was just hot dumb blonde
This was done on purpose though, and Abed had this whole character arc in season 6 where he finally overcame it and grew up. When Troy left, Abed could not have been written to just be a funny person with his character arc progression as normal, it would've felt off, because of what you said, Troy balancing Abed and being funny. Honestly, I would prefer Troy leaving in season 5 over him not, because of how complex it made Abed's character. It really feels like Abed is a real human being.
Chevy may be a terrible person, but his character was the perfect foil to the group. I'm thinking of classics like "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons" or "Intermediate Documentary Film Making". Not saying his departure is what killed the show - I mean, let's face it - that was season 4. But he was the first of the core cast to depart and with each departure, I feel like the show lost a little bit of its soul. Other shows can survive cast rotations, but I think that Community hit the ensemble cast jackpot with the original Greendale Seven. Dan Harmon getting to tell them what to do each week was just icing on the cake. #andamovie
You may disagree but I think Pierce was the least necessary one to have around. Either him or maybe Britta. But if the film does miraculously happen with everyone except Chevy I wouldn't be too upset about it
I mean, you need Britta. She played a part in forming the group. With her comes the catch phrase Britta'd it, and apart from the primary comedic characters Pierce, and Troy. Her annoying dialogue on world problems created an opening for comedic retort everytime. I also like how everyone says she is the worst, except Troy who says the opposite. Too bad season 4 did not involve Harmon, their relationship may have seemed a lot cooler. Pierce I believe was more important than Shirley, as his character is harder to replace, and he was essentially the most comedic of the group as majority of his scenes contained his racist, sexist persona, with the exception of a few scenes where he helps others grow. Pierce and Troy leaving really hurt the show as they were the main comedic reliefs, and Abed's character was only funny in combination with Troy. Without their skits, Abed's character loses this element and becomes a little lacklustre, whereas Troy was funny on his own due to his stupidity characteristic.
I just rewatched it on Netflix and I have to say that Pierce was one the most important characters in the story. His character creates so much conflict in the show. He was one of the biggest driving forces for character progression. Without him we'd be left with Abed causing conflict through treating everything like it's a TV show. A gimmick that got so old by season 4 that even Abed hated it. I was sad to see him go as a character.
@vidboy2001 "but I think that Community hit the ensemble cast jackpot with the original Greendale Seven" - I believe it's pronounced Pierce Hawthorne and the Greendale Six
When all the characters where leaving I felt like the singer of the theme song when they say “I can’t count the reasons why I should stay. One by one they all just fade away” for every character that “ faded away” it was another reason for me to feel like I should stop watching
The main reason the show was really hard for me to watch in season 6 wasn't the departure of the characters, but the shoehorning in of new ones. I would have rather the show just focused on less characters than tried to introduce new ones at the last minute. The main group should have been Jeff, Britta, Abed, Annie, and Chang. Paget Brewster and Keith David should have been side characters.
@@garbagefreak Or just one new. Just like Hickey in s5. Keith David's character really looked like a mere replacement. Paget's character brought something fresh.
@@SCharlesDennicon I think Paget Brewster tried but the delivery convinced me she does so much better in crime shows than comedy. Wasn't she the IT lady at first?
Troy was the kryptonite of Abed's insanity, also he was the star of all of the high concept meta episodes. He was the glue between Dan Harmon's thoughts and the show.
I thought it died when Glover left: not only stripping the show of one of its funniest characters, but also clipping the wings of another of the show's best characters in Abed. Also the introduction of Elroy and Frankie in series 6 felt a bit contrived. But by the last 3 episodes of series 6 I was won over again. I'd watch the movie as long as it had Troy and Abed in it.
I strongly agree. Well said! 👏 I found Season 6 almost unwatchable, and didn't find most of the episodes interesting. The last 3 definitely turned things around. Although I enjoy Frankie and Elroy, it always felt as though something was missing. Then again, you can't simply replace Troy, Shirley and Pierce. Their roles in the group were important.
If they’d stuck with Hickey it would’ve at least felt like there was some foundation. But it was like “oh Ben Wyatt’s dad and John Oliver left, and now The Arbiter and the Criminal Minds lady are here.” They didn’t feel like characters toward the end as much as I’d want them all in the movie.
@@TCG9777 in my opinion, the episode has no reason to exist. the episode would have worked fine without the puppets, there is no reason for them. with other parody episodes like GI Jeff or the paintball ones, the parody has a reason to exist. Paintball is the plot of the paintball episodes and the animation medium in the GI Jeff episode explores how Jeff is scared of turning 40 so he regresses into something from his childhood. The puppets have no point. Its "parody" for the sake of it.
I just finished the series and I gotta agree that the show still feels relevant and alive. The cast are still in their prime and I think there's plenty of room for a Community movie, especially as so many like me have just discovered one of the (or the) best sitcom ever.
Man I thought I was the only one. The Finale was perfect but if Netflix can get a movie with Glover and the whole cast ( Peirce faked his death, or a few key references) it would be the greatest thing I can imagine
@@saiyanroyalty229 I really think it would work fine if Pierce stayed dead. Probably better, since Chase would probably just eff up the dynamic of cast and creative team with his petulance.
I love the attention paid to the final episode. That episode genuinely, in my opinion, is one of the best episodes and arguably the best way to end such a great show.
Now that the show skyrocketed on Netflix, they could easily hire Dan Harmon and the cast to release a Community movie and make Abed's promise real... they even already have Alison Brie on GLOW and Joel McHale on his own show...
Donald Glover and Chevy Chase would be the hardest to get back. Pierce can be resurrected via the vapor, or as a hologram. Troy can come back from his trip around the world with LeVar Burton. Bring back the whole cast, even the side characters! Neil, Annie Kim, MAGNITUDE. RIP Leonard tho
No, it doesnt need a movie. The Community that promised 6 seasons and a movie died around the end of season 3. The dynamic and cast changed, and it wasnt for the better. They were trying too hard to recapture the comedy style they had lost, and it came off as forced.
Always wished that Troy will appear anytime in season 6, it still breaks my heart to know that Abed wasnt the same character after the departure of Troy
I think I'm just mad about what Britta's character became. I feel like she had a lot of promise but then her character became a joke and one of the least liked. Even though she didn't have a ton of development in season one, at least she was someone who could be respected and liked in the group. She was the main reason the group existed. She could've been the voice of reason without being a complete wet rag and disliked by the whole group. Edit: I believe she was flanderized
I think a big part of Britta's charm ended up being how she tends to mess things up. She kind of became a parody of herself, but it made her more approachable in a way. At least in my opinion, any way.
She went from the voice of reason to fluffy goofball, tbh I liked what Dan did with her, she fit right in with the weird group, everybody had an identity which was weird in their own way and Britta became one of em.
Britta, Chang and Pierce really suffered because of the writers while Shirley was just "there". Those three characters basically went downhill every season. Pilot episode Britta is a different character from the episode 3 and forward Britta. Which is much more focused than Season 2 Britta. And then it just got worse. Chang and Pierce were the worst in writing. I felt the writers had no clue on what to do with them for themselves. They were just "there" for the others.
For me, the unraveling began when they tried to make Britta and Troy a thing. They never seemed like a match in my eyes on the show and whenever they cut to it in an episode, I zoned out
I actually loved them from the episode in season 1 when they dance together. Them getting together was a sign of their growth : Britta finally able to date a sane, decent guy, and Troy maturing enough to get involved into a relationship. But they didn't end that well.
That was season 4. Everyone zoned out of that. Jeff even remarks in a later season that the thing happening was “the most boring thing to happen to this school since Troy and Britta dated”
I zoned out whenever it was happening too. At one point in season four I thought I must have zoned out and missed them breaking up. I just finished the series, so I was watching on Netflix. I actually went through the show summaries of the previous few episodes to see if one of them mentioned "trouble arises in Troy and Britta's relationship," but didn't see anything. Then they broke up an episode or two later. The writers flat out just stopped including it. They never had any chemistry, and they even gave Britta a little flirty moment with Jeff during the midst of it. It all honestly felt like the network had leaned on the new showrunners to include it as a way to cash in on Donald Glover as a rising star. His hair and the way he's shot are also different in that season, then revert back in his five episodes in season five. I feel the new writers didn't want to do it any more than Harmon might have and just kind of did the bare minimum to appease executives.
Community started going downhill when it stopped becoming a show about a study group. Community lost a part of its soul when Chevy left Community was barely living after Donald left Community died after Shirley left. The rest of the season was them carrying around a corpse. All shows hit an end of the series dip but Community is a show where as I was watching the final season I asked myself, What happened? It is such a shame because the first seasons where so high quality and some of the pieces of television I’ve ever seen.
Shirley was not that important honestly. Troy and Pierce were much more relevant. Also, you can't narrow it down entirely on the characters. The writting just became much worse after season 3.
@@Ipflippydibby he didnt say it was brave? He said that his openness is commendable because most arent. He obvious regrets his mistakes but doesnt try to hide it which could harm the victim
I don't really agree with this. It's the same thing he does in the show sometimes when he gets meta, making characters point out plot holes and the writing's weaknesses in a fourth-wall-breaking fashion. However, the truth is that the plot holes are still there and pointing them out doesn't make them go away. Same thing here, just because he's honest about harassing a subordinate doesn't excuse him in the slightest.
Joseph Locke it’s an awful thing to do, and I know because in the past I was harassed by an ex after the break up. But I think that Dan admitting it was wrong to do and learning from it is better than doubling down and claiming that there was nothing wrong with his actions.
I always think shows set in academic settings are tricky because once the characters graduate there needs to be some convoluted reason for them to all stay together. (It happened with 90210 and Gossip Girl too). Yes, season 4 wasn't great, but it was the last time there were a reason for them to all be together as students at Greendale. Season 5 and Season 6 just didn't have the same feel, and while I always loved the Dean and Chang as a pop-in-and-out characters, when they took on more prominent roles in the group it just didn't feel the same.
Yeah I felt things were just a bit over saturated with the Dean, he was super funny as a side character, but when he played a more prominent role it was kind of boring and annoying after a while.
Season 6 is a low-key gem and I won't hear anything to the contrary. The character of Elroy is pure gold... "I'm addicted to encouraging white people."
I loved the scene where he has to stay visible in a tablet to bypass the college security for Jeff to reach the dean and the guard just let him pass through because he's black
My wife introduced this show to me a month ago and it became one of my favorites. Just want to thank you hardcore fans who kept this show running when it almost didn't.
Come on Donald Glover, you've made enough money now. You can literally produce the movie yourself with Dan Harmon and make millions off it while the fans get to cherish it forever!
I could see Dan as a difficult person to work with. I'm glad that Netflix is airing all episodes and appreciate that Yahoo saved the show after season 5 to make season 6. Enjoyed this RUclipsr's closing comments.
@@Tai3k1 that was so infuriating especially as a first time watcher because soo many references of that episode were made in future ones and it’s annoying not being able to understand it
@@nikarshadsulaiman9614 it think it’s available on Apple TV to but as a singular episode. I didn’t even realize it was missing (during a rewatch with friends who had never seen it before) until the episode with Pierce in the hospital and he mentions “not inviting me to your D&D game”. They should have found a way to crop out Chang if they didn’t want to include the (described as a hate crime in-show) blackface
After rewatching, i was surprised at how "not that bad" the 4th season actually was. I skipped the muppet show episode, cause that one i definitely remember being terrible. the 4th season is still arguably the worst season of community though. Doesnt mean it killed the show tho. It came back really strong and to me the 5th season actually had some of the absolute best episodes in the series. I actually enjoyed the 5th season more than i did the 1st. Season 2 & 3 are the best though. There isn't really a moment where community died though..and the movie is still supposed to happen. (on netflix)
Sam T the back half had Advanced D&D, App Development (one of the series best), and GI Jeff, so disagree. I would say that the last two episodes were a slight dip though.
Oh and season 4 was abysmal. It had one not terrible episode (Herstory of Dance) and several cringeworthy nightmares (cooperative escapism, conventions of space time, and the almost apocalyptically bad felt surrogacy)
I started rewatching the show/watch and read things online about the show and surprised at how many people think season 4 is the worst, to me season 5&6 are worst (mainy 6) .
@@BearTheGrudge Gi Jeff, imo was one of the weakest episodes. Sure it had a story to back it, or a purpose if you will, but to me it still felt like a "hey. lets do a GI Joe episode", wich is something i never really thought when they "paid hommage" to certain movies or tv shows. But yeah, i agree that app development is one of the entire series finest moments.
I think seasons 5&6 are severely underrated they still made it work and made plenty of entertaining episodes despite lacking a majority of the major cast. The additional characters although never truly replacing anyone still feeling like an addition that fit
While I liked the whole original cast. I think Shirley and Britta were the least important characters. Shirley because here character was not as interesting as the other ones. And Britta, because... let’s be honest, her actress is not THAT funny, or at least not as funny as the other actors ( and the crew also thought so, which is why the made her not-being-funny a part of many storylines / jokes in the show ). Replacing both of them wouldn’t have been that noticeable IMO. On the other hand, pierces character was totally unique, funny and Chevy really executed his role perfectly (maybe because he didn’t actually need to act for that role 😅). I was afraid, when I heard he left, that the show would suffer a lot in quality. But of course the biggest loss was troy. You could definitely noticed his absence a lot.
I mean, season 6 is honestly a top-tier season. As much as people like to talk about Season 4 and the leaving of multiple characters, Abed said it best "There is skill to it. More importantly, it has to be joyful, effortless, fun. TV defeats its own purpose when it's pushing an agenda, or trying to defeat other TV or being proud or ashamed of itself for existing. It's TV; it's comfort. It's a friend you've known so well, and for so long you just let it be with you, and it needs to be okay for it to have a bad day or phone in a day, and it needs to be okay for it to get on a boat with LeVar Burton and never come back. Because eventually, it all will."
Beautifully said. I recently watched through the entire series again, and even the "weaker" seasons 4-6 still have really great moments. Even the "gas leak" season's worst episodes are still better than a lot of what's on TV these days. The show stayed pretty fresh and creative through its entire run, even with the cast changes, crew changes, and so on, and you're right, the finale was a perfect conclusion for the show.
Jacob Jones yea that's when it was getting cheesy. When they are no longer the underdogs making fun of the place. Just like saved by the bell tried to have a new generation with screech as a teacher.
The "#andamovie" never ceases to make me emotional when I see it. SPEAKING of which; the rumblings of it becoming true are once again lurching forward.
The yacht was named for Pierce because HE was a childish tycoon. It's coincidental that Donald Glover's rap name is "Childish Gambino" since Donald said he got it from the Wu-Tang Name Generator app
@@AuthorLeaMishell But we don’t see the name of Pierce’s boat until the episode when Donald Glover left which was after he had already made the stage name “Childish Gambino”
Troy is one of my favorite TV characters of all time. Once he left, I wasn’t as excited to continue watching the show. Even though I know the rest of season 5 and some of 6 are solid. I’m not mad that Donald left though, he obviously had a lot of amazing things that he wanted to do and excel at.
Season 4 is way more disheartening when you realise that they stole all of Dans ideas for season 4, like Jeff meeting his dad, or abed at his inspector space time convention and Troy and Brittas relationship, i feel so sad that we will never see these storys the way Dan envisioned.
That’s my biggest problem with season 4. I thought the writing was fine enough and got enough entertainment out of each episode, but it would’ve been done so much better if it was handled by Harmon instead. I guess it makes sense that they would go with those storylines though seeing as they have more grounding in the series and writing than an original story might have.
To be fair, they'd already been reduced to a half season, and had no reason to think Dan Harmon would come back, or that they'd have a season 5. So at the time, I'm sure there was some "if we don't do it now, we might never do it". And you can't end Season 3 with Jeff Searchies-ing [oy] his dad, and then have nothing come out of it in Season 4.
Although, I don't look at the notion itself of those things being done is a bad thing, like it was wrong of the new writers to try and go there. Many of those things felt like a natural narrative progression from where we'd left off, most clearly Jeff with his dad. The s3 finale literally shows Jeff diving into his search. Undoubtedly Harmon himself and the original team would've handled the ideas better, but I don't really blame the s4 guys for approaching them.
In the later seasons the really ruined Abed, they made him comically unempathetic and obnoxius. Purposefully making your most popular character unlikable is not the best idea.
people aren't perfect, especially not when they're struggling to adapt to living without their closest friend and biggest support system. i adored the moments you're referring to because they showed abed's flaws and problems. and it's not like the aspects of him that you think are "obnoxious" just appeared out of nowhere; abed's always put his own desires before his friend's concerns (the celebrity impersonators, anyone?) and had trouble understanding what to do in stressful situations. you can come off as mean and struggle in social contexts and still be a genuinely kind and fun person. i relate to him a lot because of that, as a fellow neurodivergent person.
Glad this had a happy ending. If a show delivers on its dying breath, even if its had a rocky run, it can live on peacefully in our hearts, and really, not die at all
What should I explore next in my Day ___ Died series?

The thing I loved most about community is how every single big event at greendale like paintball or the meowmeowbeenz turns the entire campus into a post apocalyptic society
Lol
Pillows and Blanket!!!
Don’t forget the floor is lava episode and the blanket forts
@cam i pillows and blankets is my favourite episode
Yeah, but it's all cleaned up by Monday morning... shout out to Deputy Custodian Lapari!
It’s ironic that the reasons the characters left in real life matches their in show characters perfectly. Chevy Chase kept fighting and wanted things his own way, Yvette Nicole Brown left for family reasons, and Donald Glover left to be Childish.
Lawn Gnome True 😂
Donald also left to go on an even bigger adventure.
@Alex_LameO i never realized that awe
Wdym he left to be childish?
Isaac Mahoney his rap name is Childish Gambino
When community died
“Troy and Abed are in mouuurning”
But season 5 is still terrific. Of course losing Donald Glover was huge. But they were able to compensate, at least for some episodes. Season 6 is up and down. The final 3 episodes are brilliant though.
my exact thought lol
You were singing mourning with a u? Oh, no.
Abed: you know we are singing it with "u".
Troy: oooohhhh
“So uncomfortable”
Community died when magnitude said his last pop pop

He was annoying

Pop POP!
this perfectly mirrors how a real group of friends who meet threw college will split up bit by bit until the group does not exist as we knew it once before.
The theme song does say “one by one they all just fade away”
I know everyone says Community died after some kind of season or moment, but I graduated college not too long ago and honestly really connected with Jeff's fear of everyone leaving in the last seasons. Call it what you will, but it is a depressing feeling. I had the best moments with my friends in college and now everyone is just kind of leaving to do their own thing. I thought that connection in the show was necessary.
Axelade wow that’s is meta! But still dramatically unsatisfying
Okay you didn’t have to hurt my feelings like this 😢
@@sylwia155 Speaking at the age of 46 my college years were the most fun and rewarding... and the most unique friends during my life.
So now it's on Netflix and it skyrocketed to the top 10 most watched show on Netflix. Not surprised.
Top 10 in South Africa as well. I got prime video to rewatch it then netflix dropped it the following week.
I just binged it
Went to 9 then 8 then 7 then back down to 8.
I already binged it on Hulu several times
Already on my second time rewatching it since it came back onto Netflix. This show has always had a special place in my heart, right up there with Firefly. It deserved better than what NBC did to it.

Community is just like Starburns. We all thought it died, but it turns out it’s still alive today.
Ha ha 😂😂😂
No it’s perice
(play "starburns audio" sound byte here)
My name is ALEX!
his name is Alex
For me it died when they suddenly stopped going to classes and I was like 'why aren't they going to classes any more?'
that’s when i stopped watching it. i was kinda like “okay well now they’re just dragging it on”
Yeah, that is probably why season 1 was the best season of Community. Especially with the last scene, a sorta plot twist on what started the study group.
I kinda agree i liked when they would “study” for classes and the going to them but i dont think it died it just wasnt the same hut thats y season 1 was my favorite
So you're saying its impossible for you to like seasons 5 and 6? They graduated at the end of season 4. Well, after since the final episode of season 4 deals with Jeff graduating early.
And regardless if Harmon was fired from Community for season 4 or not, he still had to create a reason for them to come back in season 5 and 6.
@@3m3gz50 season 5 and 6 are THE BEST
Netflix was picking up all these tv shows but didn't even think to grab Community and push it to the stratosphere. Ugh. Seasons 1 through 3 are perfect.
Adam Corraliza Netflix had community on it
Years ago but then got rid off it
Hulu has it now but ik what you mean. Look at what happened with Arrested Development and Futurama when Netflix picked them up for new episodes though.
Yeah, they should've picked it up and tried to give it a bigger audience.
5 and 6 were perfect too, season 4 just sucked cause it wasnt dan harmon

@@goncalooliveira4319 cool, cool, cool.
Some of abeds best moments were without Troy. Intro to Recycled Cinema was uncontrolled brilliance.
Sydnie Marie right Pudi is such a great actor. But without Troy. His character became a grown man that the group babied. His bloopers were hilarious though
"Troy and abed in a movieeee"
we ALL want to hear that
With all the renew interest in Community, I think we (the fans) are making it happen.
A doubt yvette, donald glover, chevy chase is gonna be there.
twix, Glover desperately wants a movie is what Joel said. Yvette only left at season 6 to take care of family and would probably be happy for a movie. Chevy yeah you’ve got that one right.
No need for Chevy Chase, tho. His character is dead.
it would be amazing if they broke the fourth wall like that, and right after a famous band or singer could perform the song
Community never died. It ended the day Jeff graduated, then it became its own spin-off. And it was great, every minute of it. I'm happy we had more Community for a little while, and I'm still hoping to see a Movie someday
still?
@@sleeexs If Psych can still pop off a movie every other year, Community can squeeze one through the cracks. Especially with such big names attached to it in retrospect.
That's a great way of describing the different vibe of the final 2 seasons. They're still very funny and heartfelt, but the differences in tone and even the lighting can make it weird when directly compared to the previous 2. Internally justifying it as a spin-off is a really neat compromise.
We were promised 6 seasons and a movie! Six seasons and a movie!
So true, I came to the show later on Netflix. I love it at first and I would watch it on my lunch breaks and then discuss them with a fellow fan on the job. Once Jeff graduated it didn't feel the same and I stopped watching episodes midway through season 5.
Troy was what held the group together wishing the show.
For proof look no further than remedial chaos theory.
The darkest timeline occurs when Troy leaves the room...
and he was also the most charismatic half of troy and abed in the morning.....and troy and abed in the morning, nights!
When Troy leaves, it's a disaster- but still hilarious. When Abed leaves, that's when I feel the "heart" goes away because everyone is worse off for it. And to complete the analogy, when Pierce leaves... nothing really happens.
Woah, foreshadowing the fact that Abed will have to deal with Troy's leaving!
@@lucaxtshotting2378 idk, in season 6 it felt like abed replaced jeff as the main character

It’s crazy that community was struggling to stay on the air while they made like 12 seasons of Big band theory and an entire spin off
That was the beginning of the end of our social and humanity 😅
The lesson, as always: if you make your show as accessible as possible, you will draw better ratings.
@@54raynor sadly, yeah
@@0Panquake nothing sad about it. TBBT was an enjoyable comfort-food show that catered to an audience that wanted to start and stop watching at any time in its run. Community offers a deeper enjoyment for those who sink themselves into it (at least the first three seasons), but it was never designed to be the most accessible show.
@@54raynor true, i guess what i fell is sad about it is that this system is making it harder for shows like community to have a chance to get that many seasons
The whiplash of the rapid adding and losing of characters toward the end was the real death of the show.
Exactly. Duncan was there for like 2 episodes, and Elroy was forced in after Jeff and Dean ask him for a refund on the Virtual Reality thing. That was so random. The Insurance lady kinda made sense to always be around. Then Hickey joined the group outta nowhere after him and Jeff shared Office rooms. Then Hickey left outta nowhere too 😂
I couldn't even watch the last season. Community was very funny, but imo whenever it needed substance or heart it failed miserably. Potential, yes. Execution, pitiful. Couldn't keep watching to only be disappointed.
Perplexed Ferret at least watch the final episode. It goes back to its roots breaking the 4th wall and being streets ahead

I wept with that.
I believe Jeff is supposed to represent us, the viewers; the strong community of fans, that having a hard time letting the series go. Jesus ain't the only one wept on that day.

It’s really not

I mean, Community is now on Netflix, plus Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs and Alison Brie were in Netflix originals shows and the Russo Brothers just made a Netflix original movie. I think it's safe to say Netflix is our best shot at getting the Community movie.
I really hope the Russo Brothers help if they make a movie!
@DistriktA what? why?
@ChujinDrag0n that.....actually sounds like an interesting idea if done well, however despite community’s loony and satirical nature, they’ve always followed a kinda grounded reality with the exception of that Halloween episode where zombies became canon, so it couldn’t really work as much as that would be fun to see

Aditya Pandey did you update Netflix?
@@LiableToTrip it might be where you live. Im judging by a name here but try using different vpns, it might be where you live.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that Community never died. The cast departures were tough, especially because I love Pierce and Troy and Shirley, but Dan managed to make this show still shine in places of darkness. The Meow Meow Beanz episode and the last paintball in season six are my two go-to examples of how the show still managed to keep its head up despite everything.
I agree, but I feel like the paintball episode (or the whole season 6) would have been much better without Frankie
@@worm4165 I agree, the new characters didnt really contrast with the originals
@@worm4165 I think they gave Frankie some of the best lines. Her hope speech, her trying not to call the Dean an idiot, her awkwardness about getting ready with Britta and Annie.
@@phinn.with.an.f Frankie and Dean had a real Miss Bellum and Mayor (from Powerpuff Gurlz) vibe. I felt like Frankie and Hickey and Elroy didn't fit in because they were too grounded. The other characters started as grounded but as the seasons progressed they had to become more and more eccentric (there is a single word for that which I can't think of RN) and by the time these characters came in, the original cast seemed like they were coming from a different show.
I didn't like Meow Meow Beanz episode or the final paintball episode. I feel like they didn't really have its heart at that point but yes, it did come very close to the original.
The series finale is a fantastic finale because it allows the audience to interpret what happens in several different ways. Personally I like to view it as a circular story where Jeff becomes a Pierce character and remains at Greendale for decades because that’s the only place he’s ever felt like he belongs, which in a way makes Pierces intuition in season 1 correct that he saw a lot of himself in Jeff. It allows us, the audience, to imagine a new generation of Abeds, Annie’s, Shirley’s, Brittas, Troys, and Jeffs.
I love this
Is it weird that i hate pierce but when he's gone, i kinda miss him
because you enjoy hating him!
I love him
Pierce was the best character. I absolutely hate how they constantly made him the villain. He fought with Harmon so much because he didn’t like the amount of racist lines he was given
Jimmy Hwang there’s a whole episode about that lol
Jimmy Hwang I never missed pierce I just noticed he was gone
They never should have made chang a student. They needed to keep him as a teacher. That was his strongest position. Without that power he had over the other people, it made his character weak and watered down
It would have likely gotten stale if he stayed in that position. There are only so many "crazy spanish teacher jokes" you can make.
Honestly I would’ve been fine if they had written Chang off entirely, either after they found out his credentials were fake or after he kidnapped the dean. He had no character development, and had pretty much no depth outside of being insane. In my opinion, he didn’t have much comedic substance either.
@@mckenziealexa5000 I agree. He was the weakest link in almost every season. I'd argue even Pierce was funnier
@@lets.get.intoit. you guys have some sensitive taste if you guys are complaining over Pierce and Chang
He took over the school and locked the dean in a basement for months. That doesn’t sound weak to me XD
Troy was the only selfless character, everybody else wanted their agenda fulfilled, and had to somehow control something the group was doing, everybody else had selfish moments, where Troy was mold-able. Troy was the gem.
They ALL had selfish moments. That's what made them somewhat believable characters. Remember when Troy joined the football team and started acting like a D-bag?
He just wanted to watch a show with Abed
@@VivaToddVegas but then he was redeemed quite literally 10 minutes later, and it was jeffs selfishness that caused that
@@VivaToddVegas I loved the part where he is just going around yelling his own name, "Troy! Troy Troy Troy" hahah
Troy decided to betray the group in Modern Warfare. Though he did get paintballed immediately afterwards. It was uncharacteristic for sure which made it disappointing
My dad always said, “it takes a smart guy to play the dumb guy.” I love Donald Glover both as an actor and musician, and his starring on the show was huge. I still loved the show all the way, but it would never be the same.
I love that quote by your father 😊
You can hate Chevy Chase but don't hate Pierce, that character was amazing for the group. The balance of all the characters was very important. There are eight spokes on that wheel, Dan Harmon being one of them.
Stellarfractre It’s really a shame that Chevy Chase chose to be the way he was, his character had incredible potential for growth which never really had the chance to be fulfilled.
Nicholas Kalas-Hernandez dan harmon wrote pierce that way hence their disagreements
I always thought the empty chair between Jeff and Annie was for the audience... like the audience was the eighth member of the group. But maybe it's Dan Harmon's chair. And he's always in the room, in spirit.
I have long said that "Community was excellent, but needed a Ron Swanson to make it truly legendary." Infinite crossover potential.
I really missed Pierce after he died. It just never felt the same anymore.
Do I hear you say that Community is still alive? You truly are "streets ahead." #andamovie

It was a big change when Troy left but I thought it gave Abed a chance to grow as a character. Although, they never did explain what happened to his girlfriend...

She became Capitan Marvel
Dan Harmon's never been one to focus on relationships with his characters

@@shaynguyen836
i think you're correct.
now i wonder....would donald glover and danny puddi be willing/able to film a few(like 3-4) episodes of troy and abed in the morning if the people who hold the copy-right allowed it?
i would be content with 3-4 episodes per year...
the bitter thing is me and my best friend thought of each other as troy and abed -because tv characters are more canon than our real personalities duh- i was troy, she was abed. then I left the relationship. it was the day community died in me and i never can bring myself to even mention the show despite it being my favourite comedy show.
Troy leaving was a terrible loss to community, but I can always take solace in geothermal escapism being one of the greatest episodes of the entire show.
Aw Yvette Nicole Brown didn’t get a shout out in the first two minutes like the others. For generations that watched Drake and Josh, she was a pretty big driving force to watch the show too.

Can’t stop thinking about how Britta is the only character who didn’t get closure :(
Let me assure that Britta needs to be growninup but the first phase to closure the character would be that she actually has a better relationship with parent thanks to Frankie. To me at least she never change the rebellion phase but grownup a lot in that episode.
Carlos Emir Alonso yeah i see that as well
She really Britta'd her character arc.
Britta got shortchanged after the first season.
Thank you. She became such a passive role in later seasons... her and Shirley were so sidelined to one liners it really bothered me.
Remedial Chaos theory, while rightly being highly regarded was even more prescient than intended, as the person who left to get the pizza for the Darkest Timeline, was Troy. When he ended up leaving the show later, that was the real life Darkest Timeline and when the series died
Didn't even think about that but its so true. After Troy left, it was as if the show actually transitioned to the darkest timeline where nothing was funny or quirky or interesting anymore
Basic Story and Basic Sandwich are super quirky and while not as funny as earlier seasons, they fit in from a whimsy standpoint for certain.
That 2009 lineup is something no network will ever match again. Frankly, the world began to die the moment that lineup ended.
The only one I’ve never watched is 30 Rock? Where would you say it ranks amongst Office, Parks and Rec, and Community?
In my opinion from best to worst it goes 1. Community 2. 30 Rock 3. Parks and Rec 4. The Office
Abed's dialogue with Troy when Troy was leaving *BROKE ME* .
That part got me too. It didn't help when he mentioned Troy in the series finale...

@@Syfoll Won't happen. Most of them become too famous for this show
@@ikhy1990 they made a psych movie years after it ended, and if someone offered to fund it, it could still be possible, plus it technically doesn't need all of the same cast, just enough to make it community, and if its a movie than it would be much cheaper for one film of the same quality as the show in a 1 hour and 30 minute film instead of several hours of episodes, never say never, except to say never.
@@ikhy1990 imo the ONLY person "too famous" is Donald. They could probably make it work without him, but it would be nice to have him on. None of the cast are even movie actors anyway, so I'm not sure how you can make that statement....Joel McHale, Alison Brie, Gillian Jacobs, and Ken Jeong are all television actors and the rest are pretty much only known for Community.
Having gone to community college myself, I feel like the decline as seasons progressed kind of coincides with actual community college experience. You get a couple really solid years with a core group of friends. Then people move on and your community college experience just kind of becomes eh till it's finally your turn to leave.
But maybe that's just me. 🤷♂️

Also, 6 seasons and a movie wouldn't be true
Mash never stopped being great
@@quinn7977 I was just thinking that. Shows that last HAVE to grow and change as it's audience does.
Abed's character didn't work without Troy. When Troy was around it balanced Abed and made them both extremely funny, but when Troy leaves, Abed becomes this sinister character that was completely different.
evil abed
He eventually got past it, just as Jeff will get past his alcohol problem now that he knows he has a chance with grown-up Annie.
To be fair some of his character development backtracked after troy left and abed ended up acting more like he did in season one
i also felt like britta is written to fill in the "airhead" hole of the group. she was annoying but full of substances, arrogant in her selflessness but well meaning still. she's taken after someone real around us but after troy and pierce left she was just hot dumb blonde
This was done on purpose though, and Abed had this whole character arc in season 6 where he finally overcame it and grew up.
When Troy left, Abed could not have been written to just be a funny person with his character arc progression as normal, it would've felt off, because of what you said, Troy balancing Abed and being funny.
Honestly, I would prefer Troy leaving in season 5 over him not, because of how complex it made Abed's character. It really feels like Abed is a real human being.
Chevy may be a terrible person, but his character was the perfect foil to the group. I'm thinking of classics like "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons" or "Intermediate Documentary Film Making". Not saying his departure is what killed the show - I mean, let's face it - that was season 4. But he was the first of the core cast to depart and with each departure, I feel like the show lost a little bit of its soul. Other shows can survive cast rotations, but I think that Community hit the ensemble cast jackpot with the original Greendale Seven. Dan Harmon getting to tell them what to do each week was just icing on the cake. #andamovie
You may disagree but I think Pierce was the least necessary one to have around. Either him or maybe Britta. But if the film does miraculously happen with everyone except Chevy I wouldn't be too upset about it
I mean, you need Britta. She played a part in forming the group. With her comes the catch phrase Britta'd it, and apart from the primary comedic characters Pierce, and Troy. Her annoying dialogue on world problems created an opening for comedic retort everytime. I also like how everyone says she is the worst, except Troy who says the opposite. Too bad season 4 did not involve Harmon, their relationship may have seemed a lot cooler.
Pierce I believe was more important than Shirley, as his character is harder to replace, and he was essentially the most comedic of the group as majority of his scenes contained his racist, sexist persona, with the exception of a few scenes where he helps others grow. Pierce and Troy leaving really hurt the show as they were the main comedic reliefs, and Abed's character was only funny in combination with Troy. Without their skits, Abed's character loses this element and becomes a little lacklustre, whereas Troy was funny on his own due to his stupidity characteristic.
I just rewatched it on Netflix and I have to say that Pierce was one the most important characters in the story. His character creates so much conflict in the show. He was one of the biggest driving forces for character progression. Without him we'd be left with Abed causing conflict through treating everything like it's a TV show. A gimmick that got so old by season 4 that even Abed hated it. I was sad to see him go as a character.
@@Mandalor10 thank you for reading my mind.
@vidboy2001 "but I think that Community hit the ensemble cast jackpot with the original Greendale Seven" - I believe it's pronounced Pierce Hawthorne and the Greendale Six
When all the characters where leaving I felt like the singer of the theme song when they say “I can’t count the reasons why I should stay. One by one they all just fade away” for every character that “ faded away” it was another reason for me to feel like I should stop watching
The main reason the show was really hard for me to watch in season 6 wasn't the departure of the characters, but the shoehorning in of new ones. I would have rather the show just focused on less characters than tried to introduce new ones at the last minute. The main group should have been Jeff, Britta, Abed, Annie, and Chang. Paget Brewster and Keith David should have been side characters.
@@garbagefreak Or just one new. Just like Hickey in s5. Keith David's character really looked like a mere replacement. Paget's character brought something fresh.

I only got a few episodes past him leaving and I couldn’t keep watching. It was just so different.
I thought it died when Glover left: not only stripping the show of one of its funniest characters, but also clipping the wings of another of the show's best characters in Abed.
Also the introduction of Elroy and Frankie in series 6 felt a bit contrived.
But by the last 3 episodes of series 6 I was won over again. I'd watch the movie as long as it had Troy and Abed in it.
I strongly agree. Well said! 👏
I found Season 6 almost unwatchable, and didn't find most of the episodes interesting. The last 3 definitely turned things around.
Although I enjoy Frankie and Elroy, it always felt as though something was missing. Then again, you can't simply replace Troy, Shirley and Pierce. Their roles in the group were important.
If they’d stuck with Hickey it would’ve at least felt like there was some foundation. But it was like “oh Ben Wyatt’s dad and John Oliver left, and now The Arbiter and the Criminal Minds lady are here.” They didn’t feel like characters toward the end as much as I’d want them all in the movie.
i feel like they should have stuck with hickey n got rid of elroy, i liked frankie
It was foreshadowed in remedial chaos theory when the timeline were Troy left for pizza ended up becoming the darkest timeline.
Idk the following episodes with abed without Troy rly helped him develop
"let's take a look at the puppet episode"
me: "let's not"
I cringe just thinking about it
@yes I'm sorry but it really was
@@jackchojnacki3818 how so?
@@TCG9777 in my opinion, the episode has no reason to exist. the episode would have worked fine without the puppets, there is no reason for them. with other parody episodes like GI Jeff or the paintball ones, the parody has a reason to exist. Paintball is the plot of the paintball episodes and the animation medium in the GI Jeff episode explores how Jeff is scared of turning 40 so he regresses into something from his childhood. The puppets have no point. Its "parody" for the sake of it.
@@momoluvr6052 agreed
My favorite episode was the “flashback” episode to adventures we never saw. I thought it was very clever and highly original.
Awesome ep! Also great idea for #andamovie?
Morty's mind-benders...
That episode bums me out because it makes me wish we had all those as memories in full length episodes!
I just watched it. I thought I had slept thru episodes and began scouring the previous episodes.
It really was but those adventures looked great and I wished they made it actual episodes
I just finished the series and I gotta agree that the show still feels relevant and alive. The cast are still in their prime and I think there's plenty of room for a Community movie, especially as so many like me have just discovered one of the (or the) best sitcom ever.
paintball movie
They all still talk to eachother to this day via webcam calls too!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It might seem dumb, but when you said Community is still alive and well, I got a little teary. One of my favourite shows of all time.
Man I thought I was the only one. The Finale was perfect but if Netflix can get a movie with Glover and the whole cast ( Peirce faked his death, or a few key references) it would be the greatest thing I can imagine
Me too, man. I had lost hope already but the ending of this video made me hopeful again. #andamovie
Greendale is where I belong.
@@saiyanroyalty229 I really think it would work fine if Pierce stayed dead. Probably better, since Chase would probably just eff up the dynamic of cast and creative team with his petulance.
😳🥺😖
I love the attention paid to the final episode. That episode genuinely, in my opinion, is one of the best episodes and arguably the best way to end such a great show.
Now that the show skyrocketed on Netflix, they could easily hire Dan Harmon and the cast to release a Community movie and make Abed's promise real... they even already have Alison Brie on GLOW and Joel McHale on his own show...
I was really hoping they'd get everyone together in time for Troy to discover Dance Pants last year.
Donald Glover and Chevy Chase would be the hardest to get back. Pierce can be resurrected via the vapor, or as a hologram. Troy can come back from his trip around the world with LeVar Burton. Bring back the whole cast, even the side characters! Neil, Annie Kim, MAGNITUDE. RIP Leonard tho
And Gillian Jacobs has done a few Netflix projects too (Love, Ibiza etc)
Honestly I would want New seasons over a movie.
Please. :(
#SixSeasonsAndAMovie baby. Still hoping for that movie. Come on, Netflix.
Ah you beat me to it! #SixSeasonsAndAMovie!
COMMUNITY
✅ 6 Seasons
❔ Movie
No, it doesnt need a movie. The Community that promised 6 seasons and a movie died around the end of season 3.
The dynamic and cast changed, and it wasnt for the better. They were trying too hard to recapture the comedy style they had lost, and it came off as forced.
@@jflanagan9696 #andamovie
Yes! Most of the actors work there now.
so the cast rallied to get Dan Harmon back then once they succeeded the cast began to leave?
that's a bold strategy
To be fair, they probably weren't expecting to go different ways
"6 seasons and a movie" they said... and I'm still waiting for that movie :(
They're probably make a movie after they're done with MCU.
We will probably be waiting until the pandemic dies down
do you really want it, after what they've done, are they capable?
I hope it never happens. The last three seasons only increased the disappointment record. A movie would be even worse at this point.
2023
Always wished that Troy will appear anytime in season 6, it still breaks my heart to know that Abed wasnt the same character after the departure of Troy
I think I'm just mad about what Britta's character became. I feel like she had a lot of promise but then her character became a joke and one of the least liked. Even though she didn't have a ton of development in season one, at least she was someone who could be respected and liked in the group. She was the main reason the group existed. She could've been the voice of reason without being a complete wet rag and disliked by the whole group.
Edit: I believe she was flanderized
I think a big part of Britta's charm ended up being how she tends to mess things up.
She kind of became a parody of herself, but it made her more approachable in a way. At least in my opinion, any way.
That’s an interesting look at it. I guess it depends on how you personally felt about Britta towards the end.
She went from the voice of reason to fluffy goofball, tbh I liked what Dan did with her, she fit right in with the weird group, everybody had an identity which was weird in their own way and Britta became one of em.
Agreed she switched from being an actual activist to being the joke of one. Made me sad
Britta, Chang and Pierce really suffered because of the writers while Shirley was just "there". Those three characters basically went downhill every season.
Pilot episode Britta is a different character from the episode 3 and forward Britta. Which is much more focused than Season 2 Britta. And then it just got worse.
Chang and Pierce were the worst in writing. I felt the writers had no clue on what to do with them for themselves. They were just "there" for the others.
For me, the unraveling began when they tried to make Britta and Troy a thing. They never seemed like a match in my eyes on the show and whenever they cut to it in an episode, I zoned out
I actually loved them from the episode in season 1 when they dance together. Them getting together was a sign of their growth : Britta finally able to date a sane, decent guy, and Troy maturing enough to get involved into a relationship. But they didn't end that well.
That was season 4. Everyone zoned out of that. Jeff even remarks in a later season that the thing happening was “the most boring thing to happen to this school since Troy and Britta dated”
I don’t think they tried that hard to make them a thing, never bothered me.
I zoned out whenever it was happening too. At one point in season four I thought I must have zoned out and missed them breaking up. I just finished the series, so I was watching on Netflix. I actually went through the show summaries of the previous few episodes to see if one of them mentioned "trouble arises in Troy and Britta's relationship," but didn't see anything. Then they broke up an episode or two later. The writers flat out just stopped including it. They never had any chemistry, and they even gave Britta a little flirty moment with Jeff during the midst of it. It all honestly felt like the network had leaned on the new showrunners to include it as a way to cash in on Donald Glover as a rising star. His hair and the way he's shot are also different in that season, then revert back in his five episodes in season five. I feel the new writers didn't want to do it any more than Harmon might have and just kind of did the bare minimum to appease executives.
Agreed Troy and Britta Jade know dense together. I knew when they got together Troy would be leaving soon.
Community started going downhill when it stopped becoming a show about a study group.
Community lost a part of its soul when Chevy left
Community was barely living after Donald left
Community died after Shirley left.
The rest of the season was them carrying around a corpse.
All shows hit an end of the series dip but Community is a show where as I was watching the final season I asked myself, What happened? It is such a shame because the first seasons where so high quality and some of the pieces of television I’ve ever seen.
“Some of the pieces of television I’ve ever seen”😂😂
Nah, I think it would also not have been an interesting show if everyone were all still studying after six seasons
Shirley was not that important honestly. Troy and Pierce were much more relevant. Also, you can't narrow it down entirely on the characters. The writting just became much worse after season 3.
fax
Seasons 5 & 6 are perfectly fine. I liked some of those episodes more than I like some of season 3.
Dan Harmon’s honesty about past actions is very commendable, even if the actions are terrible
Yea, admitting you harassed women is SO brave. Smh.
@@Ipflippydibby he didnt say it was brave? He said that his openness is commendable because most arent. He obvious regrets his mistakes but doesnt try to hide it which could harm the victim
I don't really agree with this. It's the same thing he does in the show sometimes when he gets meta, making characters point out plot holes and the writing's weaknesses in a fourth-wall-breaking fashion. However, the truth is that the plot holes are still there and pointing them out doesn't make them go away. Same thing here, just because he's honest about harassing a subordinate doesn't excuse him in the slightest.
Joseph Locke it’s an awful thing to do, and I know because in the past I was harassed by an ex after the break up. But I think that Dan admitting it was wrong to do and learning from it is better than doubling down and claiming that there was nothing wrong with his actions.
Admitting to something once you've been outed as doing it is kinda the least you can do imo

Get out of my Winnebago!
Probably one of my favourite episodes, just cos of that storyline lol
Birdman PB not by me. That’s the best season other than 3. Paget Brewster and Keith David were superstars.
I always think shows set in academic settings are tricky because once the characters graduate there needs to be some convoluted reason for them to all stay together. (It happened with 90210 and Gossip Girl too). Yes, season 4 wasn't great, but it was the last time there were a reason for them to all be together as students at Greendale. Season 5 and Season 6 just didn't have the same feel, and while I always loved the Dean and Chang as a pop-in-and-out characters, when they took on more prominent roles in the group it just didn't feel the same.
Yeah I felt things were just a bit over saturated with the Dean, he was super funny as a side character, but when he played a more prominent role it was kind of boring and annoying after a while.
Notice how the theme song lyrics fit.
“One by one they all just fade away”
Chevy left
Donald left
Yvette left
And things like that
"I can't count the reasons I should stay, one by one they all just fade away"
Season 6 is a low-key gem and I won't hear anything to the contrary. The character of Elroy is pure gold... "I'm addicted to encouraging white people."
season 6 is better than season 5. but it had to end there
I think im the only one who thinks season 6 is the best
Season 6 is automatically the worst because of Frankie
I loved the scene where he has to stay visible in a tablet to bypass the college security for Jeff to reach the dean and the guard just let him pass through because he's black
Paint.... ball???
My wife introduced this show to me a month ago and it became one of my favorites. Just want to thank you hardcore fans who kept this show running when it almost didn't.

Smack that subscribe button while you're at it! :)
Imediatly?
I especially loved the major shade they threw at Marvel movies in the finale, and I say that as a massive MCU fan lol
@Joshua J I dunno, I feel like it would've been creepy. Especially in season 1 Jeff was kind of like a "dad" figure to a more naieve Annie
Come on Donald Glover, you've made enough money now. You can literally produce the movie yourself with Dan Harmon and make millions off it while the fans get to cherish it forever!
I could see Dan as a difficult person to work with. I'm glad that Netflix is airing all episodes and appreciate that Yahoo saved the show after season 5 to make season 6. Enjoyed this RUclipsr's closing comments.
Netflix removed the Dungeons and Dragons episode because Chang dresses up like a Drow.

Nighttttssss
After rewatching, i was surprised at how "not that bad" the 4th season actually was. I skipped the muppet show episode, cause that one i definitely remember being terrible. the 4th season is still arguably the worst season of community though.
Doesnt mean it killed the show tho. It came back really strong and to me the 5th season actually had some of the absolute best episodes in the series. I actually enjoyed the 5th season more than i did the 1st.
Season 2 & 3 are the best though.
There isn't really a moment where community died though..and the movie is still supposed to happen. (on netflix)
The first half of S5 is great. The back half falls apart.
Sam T the back half had Advanced D&D, App Development (one of the series best), and GI Jeff, so disagree. I would say that the last two episodes were a slight dip though.
Oh and season 4 was abysmal. It had one not terrible episode (Herstory of Dance) and several cringeworthy nightmares (cooperative escapism, conventions of space time, and the almost apocalyptically bad felt surrogacy)
I started rewatching the show/watch and read things online about the show and surprised at how many people think season 4 is the worst, to me season 5&6 are worst (mainy 6) .
@@BearTheGrudge Gi Jeff, imo was one of the weakest episodes. Sure it had a story to back it, or a purpose if you will, but to me it still felt like a "hey. lets do a GI Joe episode", wich is something i never really thought when they "paid hommage" to certain movies or tv shows.
But yeah, i agree that app development is one of the entire series finest moments.
I think seasons 5&6 are severely underrated they still made it work and made plenty of entertaining episodes despite lacking a majority of the major cast. The additional characters although never truly replacing anyone still feeling like an addition that fit
Abed helping someone through pregnancy and birth throughout an entire season and beetlejuice easter eggs are what make this show that much better
I want to like this comment but it's at 69 rn
Wait...Abed did that the entire season?! I thought it was just that episode?? *dramatically goes to watch it again*
Rian Searcy It was just that episode.
I just binged the entire series, I don’t actually mind Season 4
Those paintball episodes are my favorites. The reading of the will was also great.
Agreed but it was the worst season of the show
Chia Treme reading of what will?
BearTheGrudge Pierce’s will he means.
Same, I gotta re watch it the whole thing now
The day it died when it started treating Abed special and others were reduced to single, flat notes (re: britta and shirley).
Abed kind of became mean in the final seasons.
When I rave about Community, I'm always only referring to the first three seasons.
same
Me too tbh
What about season 4
thats’s dumb

It wasn’t the same when Shirley, pierce and Troy left. Enjoyed seeing Johnathan Banks on the show. I really hope that there is movie coming out.
Sorry but Community is not dead yet .. you know what ?
SIX SEASONS AND A MOVIIIE !!
SIX SEASONS AND A MOVIEEEEEEE
The day Chevy left... Then it was completely dead when Glover left.
Honestly, I probably would have enjoyed the show almost as much without Chevy Chase, but losing Donald Glover was a tragedy.
While I liked the whole original cast. I think Shirley and Britta were the least important characters. Shirley because here character was not as interesting as the other ones. And Britta, because... let’s be honest, her actress is not THAT funny, or at least not as funny as the other actors ( and the crew also thought so, which is why the made her not-being-funny a part of many storylines / jokes in the show ). Replacing both of them wouldn’t have been that noticeable IMO.
On the other hand, pierces character was totally unique, funny and Chevy really executed his role perfectly (maybe because he didn’t actually need to act for that role 😅). I was afraid, when I heard he left, that the show would suffer a lot in quality. But of course the biggest loss was troy. You could definitely noticed his absence a lot.
It was still alright when Pierce died, but I couldn’t even enjoy the show when Troy left
@@theshadow9238 pierce leaving basically made troys departure a whole lot more detrimental to the show
Season 1-3 were my favorite. I didn't like the start of season 4 and when glover left it was a total do over for me
I mean, season 6 is honestly a top-tier season. As much as people like to talk about Season 4 and the leaving of multiple characters, Abed said it best "There is skill to it. More importantly, it has to be joyful, effortless, fun. TV defeats its own purpose when it's pushing an agenda, or trying to defeat other TV or being proud or ashamed of itself for existing. It's TV; it's comfort. It's a friend you've known so well, and for so long you just let it be with you, and it needs to be okay for it to have a bad day or phone in a day, and it needs to be okay for it to get on a boat with LeVar Burton and never come back. Because eventually, it all will."
Beautifully said. I recently watched through the entire series again, and even the "weaker" seasons 4-6 still have really great moments. Even the "gas leak" season's worst episodes are still better than a lot of what's on TV these days. The show stayed pretty fresh and creative through its entire run, even with the cast changes, crew changes, and so on, and you're right, the finale was a perfect conclusion for the show.
And JESUS WEPT for there were no more seasons to conquer!
Stop saying Jesus wept!!!

@@antoniodiavolo l forgot I even made that comment. Since then I've learned that indeed the yacht name was a nod to Glover's stage name
Troy is one of my favorite TV characters of all time. Once he left, I wasn’t as excited to continue watching the show. Even though I know the rest of season 5 and some of 6 are solid. I’m not mad that Donald left though, he obviously had a lot of amazing things that he wanted to do and excel at.
It wasn’t actually to pursue his music career, he just said it was for personal issues.
Season 4 is way more disheartening when you realise that they stole all of Dans ideas for season 4, like Jeff meeting his dad, or abed at his inspector space time convention and Troy and Brittas relationship, i feel so sad that we will never see these storys the way Dan envisioned.
Yeah, S4 is hard to watch. So much potential squandered.
That’s my biggest problem with season 4. I thought the writing was fine enough and got enough entertainment out of each episode, but it would’ve been done so much better if it was handled by Harmon instead. I guess it makes sense that they would go with those storylines though seeing as they have more grounding in the series and writing than an original story might have.
To be fair, they'd already been reduced to a half season, and had no reason to think Dan Harmon would come back, or that they'd have a season 5. So at the time, I'm sure there was some "if we don't do it now, we might never do it". And you can't end Season 3 with Jeff Searchies-ing [oy] his dad, and then have nothing come out of it in Season 4.
It hurts even more when you find out that Dan wanted BILL MURRAY to play Jeff's father.
Although, I don't look at the notion itself of those things being done is a bad thing, like it was wrong of the new writers to try and go there. Many of those things felt like a natural narrative progression from where we'd left off, most clearly Jeff with his dad. The s3 finale literally shows Jeff diving into his search. Undoubtedly Harmon himself and the original team would've handled the ideas better, but I don't really blame the s4 guys for approaching them.
In the later seasons the really ruined Abed, they made him comically unempathetic and obnoxius. Purposefully making your most popular character unlikable is not the best idea.
people aren't perfect, especially not when they're struggling to adapt to living without their closest friend and biggest support system. i adored the moments you're referring to because they showed abed's flaws and problems. and it's not like the aspects of him that you think are "obnoxious" just appeared out of nowhere; abed's always put his own desires before his friend's concerns (the celebrity impersonators, anyone?) and had trouble understanding what to do in stressful situations. you can come off as mean and struggle in social contexts and still be a genuinely kind and fun person. i relate to him a lot because of that, as a fellow neurodivergent person.
I agree. I love Abed and all but his schtick got old real quick without Troy and they couldn't lampshade it enough to excuse it.

Glad this had a happy ending. If a show delivers on its dying breath, even if its had a rocky run, it can live on peacefully in our hearts, and really, not die at all
I concur.
I agree, I think the ending really saved the show. I don't think people would look back on it so fondly if it didn't have such a great ending
