Abed couldn't have said it better, especially with the recent speculations of Chevy Chase's involvement in the NBC cult series Community. Despite all that has occurred during this last season, the cast and crew held strong in finishing up an amazing chapter of comedy history.
I'm sure you've noticed by now that our favorite love-to-hate-him character, Pierce, hasn't exactly had the spotlight in recent episodes. Luckily, the creativity and brilliance of the behind-the-scenes minds are working their magic to keep the story lines continually flavorful.
Intro to Felt Surrogacy, aired on April 11th, has made it to my top 10 favorite episodes and it took me about 5 times of viewing when I finally realized, "Wow! Pierce isn't really in this episode." What a smooth transition! Kudos to the writers, you sucked me in (like always) and the flow was so mellifluous that I didn't notice the up-coming change.
Wait, did she just say change?
Fear not my fellow Communticans, Dan Harmon is (or really, was) hard at work ensuring for the smoothest season finale and conclusion to our favorite cult sensation. With the talent of the cast and intelligence of the writers, along with the rest of the behind-the-scenes crew, I believe we will not be disappointed.
So, what's really going on? What happened with Chevy and Dan?
Fellow cult series Community fans, it is official, Chevy Chase will no longer be a member of the cast, along with Dan Harmon no longer being a member of the crew.
"...it isn't called friend business. It's called show business."
Not only were Abed's actions cold during episode 3 of season 1, but so were Chevy Chase's and NBC/Sony Entertainment's. Just goes to show when you go up against legend Dan Harmon, you're not going to walk away victorious or without a canceled show.
The much publicized battle between Chevy and Dan, along with Chevy's notorious outbursts during filming, such as his dropping of the N-word in the presence of co-stars Yvette Nicole Brown and Donald Glover, have ultimately led to their demise on this epic comedy series.
Unfortunately, creator Dan Harmon also got the boot from higher ups at NBC/Sony Entertainment.
Whaat?!
It appears that Harmon's stubbornness in taking direction to make the show more main stream and his lack of management in handling co-star Chase, later led to his demise on the series as well.
Can we blame him though for stetting the push to move towards a mainstream concept? The guy is a genius. I'm not sure how many creators can incorporate gangsters, zombies, clay-mation, paintball, puppets, musicals, paranormal activity, and puppies all in one complete series. AND have the story lines ALL make sense!
Not to worry though, we Communticans acknowledge the level of awesomeness of the series and would like to take this moment to say thank you to all who are a flavor in the delicious Community pie (yes, even you Chevy Chase).
You can guarantee I will be adding season 3 and season 4 to my collection with special Community themed nights to celebrate the series lifetime.
