Community: Season 6 (Yahoo!) (1 Viewer)

[joshEH]

Just wanted to add, now that Erin finally made it onto an episode of Community, does this leave Jeff B. Davis as the only regular/semi-recurring Harmontown personality to not have an appearance on the show?


Although I know Jeff does have a superstition about being on TV shows, because it kills them. I think there was a joke on Harmontown about "The Red Baron" being his nickname...because he's killed so many pilots. *rim shot*

So that was it. That was the six seasons.


The finale felt totally of a piece with the rest of the show. Was delighted to see Shirley back. I think Britta and Frankie's versions of Season 7 made me laugh the hardest. The opening credits on Britta's version absolutely killed me. Also, the existential despair during the ending-tag was gloriously, gloriously Harmon (complete with voiceover).


I was kinda surprised that Britta wasn't there in the scene where Jeff saw Annie and Abed off, so we didn't get a moment just with the remaining original study-group members. I wonder how the Jeff/Annie-turn it takes in the third act will work for people -- I thought the actual scene was well-written, at least (complete with Harmonesque tangent about Marvel movies).


And it was funny that, of the five characters still remaining in Greendale, three got shows picked up, while none of the characters who left did. I feel like my heart has been directly connected to Dan Harmon's these past six years, whether he was directly involved with actually making the show or not. Now I have to sit quietly and try to figure out how the fuck I continue with my day. I feel like I just broke up with someone...


But that was it. That was Community. And it went to its finale as Community as it's really ever been.


Yeah, I'd totally watch the movie.

 

[TravisR]

I'm a moron but when I went to watch the episode, I hadn't even considered that it would be the series finale so it was a shock to realize that that was it. I'm not betting on a movie but that was a great way to go out.


The end commercial was a homerun.

Yvette Nicole Brown is secure on The Odd Couple so far as I've heard.

Donald Glover didn't leave to be on TV or in movies.

Chevy is Chevy.

"Abed, isn't the shape of your brain kinda fucked-up?"


I know there's a lot of blanket-stackers and pillow-packers out there thinking it's gonna go down tonight. But there's a lot of us folks from the scene in between saying:


Hey.


At least it was here.


Also:

Spoiler

ANNIE WAS THE ASS-CRACK BANDIT ALL ALONG!

 

[TravisR]

Chang really is mentally ill if he thinks that The Simpsons and Seinfeld got better after their sixth seasons. He's right about South Park though.


And Jeff and Annie are right about most of the Marvel movies.

 

[joshEH]

"How about there's a whole third black person?"

"Question: When can we start the next paintball game?"

"I don't think you can force it."

"LOTS of things can be forced...like a human head through a six-inch drainpipe."


So...Todd is fucking batshit crazy. War can break a man, I guess. And Justin Roiland as Mr. Ice-Cube Head(TM) caught me totally off-guard. It was almost like getting a full-fledged Meeseeks crossover on Community.


Could be imagining things, but it sounded like Harmon's voice cracked right as he said his final lines. This episode hit just about every note it needed to. What a series. Thank you for everything, Dan.

Dan Harmon: "The finale airs in a couple of hours. I'm gonna delete my Twitter app and take a couple weeks off the internet and no interviews and I love you"


Hopefully he simply doesn't want to deal with questions to which he doesn't yet have answers, like about a possible movie.


HUGE life-moment, huge change not just for Dan, but also for the people on working the show, and huge for us as well. Viewer reactions and numbers flooding in. Need to take a chill-pill/disconnect like you would after any large, transformative event.


Abed: "Oooohhh, NippleDippers.com is available!"

Elroy: "GRAB THAT MUTHER!!"


This morning, series writer/producer Alex Rubens tweeted that Harmon has indeed grabbed that muther, officially registering the real-life domain name through Sony Legal.

That should be the move of all showrunners when a series wraps up. If you don't like the ending, take it up with someone else.

A sad day to be sure...but, this was such a great, fun, and different show. I know there will come a day when I don't watch Community anymore, but I'm not going quietly into that good night. Heck, I'm sure I can watch just this season a few more times and then it's into the Blu Ray's for a while!


Annie WAS the ass-crack bandit! I KNEW it!!


But, who was Silver Ballz?


I have watched the Community board game commercial 3x now. DAMN that is funny!!! The depression of the players is epic, but that voiceover really sends the show off with style.


"By the way, I'm a lesbian. That's totally why I haven't hit on Jeff."


"It needs for it to be ok that it gets on a boat with LeVar Burton and never comes back."

Good night, Community! We love ya!

I liked the serious montage and Leonard Cohen-esque singer on Britta's version of the opening credits.

Yahoo In Discussions For More Community Episodes

 

[spshultz]

Does anybody know how Community did or is doing on Yahoo? Any viewing numbers or ratings?

 

[doug zdanivsky]

Great finale.. I hope they go out on this high.

 

[spshultz]

Finally had time to watch the last episode.


What a glorious "fucking"...........finale?

I am going to miss this show.

Dan Harmon: "Yahoo Wanted to Do a Movie Immediately":


http://www.ew.com/article/2015/06/06/dan-harmon-community-movie


Yeah, same here, Dan -- I hope they let us miss Community just a little bit before bringing in a movie.

Does anybody know how Community did or is doing on Yahoo? Any viewing numbers or ratings?

Yahoo hasn't released actual hard numbers yet, but Harmon has recently alluded several times on his podcast to the figures being way, way bigger than anything posted by NBC, and series sponsor Honda has reportedly been "ecstatic" with how things are going, though again, no numbers yet.


If nothing else, Joel McHale does have a great new gig lined up, at least:

[joshEH]

So...it's official -- Community the TV show is done for good. But a movie may still yet happen.


Joel McHale confirms the news:

[Paul D G]

See, now, I've read an article that hinted at the opposite:

It closes with this tweet from McHale:



Easy sugar-bear, Community is not canceled. #QuestionMarkSeasonsAndaMovie

[TravisR]

I'd love if the show could continue forever (especially if it was at the level of the last two years) but since they hit the six seasons mark, I just want to see a movie or telemovie now.
