Well, it depends I guess on when they start. Advertising in December is not a good idea because nobody watches TV in December. So if they want to get viewers they should probably start airing them this month.

Also in Community's ball court, ratings are abnormally high in the first week of January for some reason. Last season, Whitney and Chicago Fire hit season highs and I think most of CBS surged that week as well.

Plus a hour long premiere should really help.

Well it could be that awkward time of after Christmas and holiday events are over and you're still not done with Winter Break.

Episode 2 is titled

! Introduction to Teaching. Looks like Jeff might be coming back as a teacher?

Anyone else watch Harmon's Rick and Morty on Adult Swim this past Sunday? I initially wrote it off as typical AS drek, but decided to give it a shot once they name dropped Harmon. It was ok , I found the alternate dimension stuff visually fascinating, way more of a draw than the comedy, which I only laughed about 2 or 3 times.

Found out about this show not too long ago. By far the best comedy I've seen on TV in quite some time. I've only seen several random episodes and like the last 2/3 of the most recent season (4?), but I plan on marathoning it pretty soon if it's on Hulu.

First off: Pop Pop, secondly, I highly recommend it. I had seen all of the episodes up to season 3 at least 2 times before I noticed all the seasons on sale during Black Friday. I had to pick them up, and I'm on the first episode of season 3 right now, which is to say that Community is amazing in so many ways. At least for seasons 1-3, you will not be disappointed. Though it's really weird watching 4 now knowing that it isn't Dan Harmon's vision, yet he's back for more. (they tied up so many loose knots in kind of unsatisfactory ways, like Jeff's dad (who I would have loved to have been Bill Murray))

Weird Joel McHale is going to host the VGX.

I watched it on Youtube. It annoyed me at first. But I was working on put it on in the background and I started warming up to it. It feels very much like a weird mixture of Pre and Post Dan Harmon-like show. Which I mean it is based off a skit he and the other creator made where Doc makes Mahrty like his balls to get the time machine to work.

Nex you had a ball this season didn't you.

Nex 0

You have no idea. I'm really happy with the way the show is going, so I hope you all enjoy it. Especially the… odd direction this trailer took.

Also, I hope you all caught who was hanging out with Jeff and Professor Nichols. (Who, in case you haven't heard yet, is an honorary regular, appearing in 11 of these 13 episodes. SO get excited there.)

Also, fun fact, that shot at the end of Glover in the chair, I did the lighting for! You're seeing my work already! (There are many other shots in the trailer I worked on, but that's the most prominent. And my favorite. It was so hard to set that up without laughing.)

Silver R. Bolt

Its good to hear that the trailer took an weird direction. I felt like it did. I mean I enjoyed it, but I was expecting to get something a little different.

Great friggin' Jesus!

Also, that was the Honest Trailers voice, right? :D

Haha man…the Braff/Scrubs joke is so good. That's Arrested Development humor right there

DarthAsthma

I'm very reluctant to say so but it looks like it's going to be the community I fell in love with(just judging by the possible themes looking at all the different costumes, backgrounds and some assumptions based on the dialog). But then trailers can be deceiving.

Kitsune Inferno

The only thing that made me cringe in this trailer was Chang's line at the end, which was my favorite Chang line ever until the delivery of the second "everywhere".

It's been a while since Community made me laugh this much I ain't a sad panda anymore.

Well you can't hate a Starburns in Zardos parody costume.

I saw the trailer last night and it blew my mind. hopefully it delivers.

Well, Community's getting extended promo spots on The Voice finale, so there's that.

Knowing Harmon, it will be written perfectly, but I honestly question how much I want to watch the show without Troy and Pierce, two out of three of my favorite characters. (the other is Abed) The only of the remaining characters that I really like a lot is Britta. I like the other characters, but I don't come close to loving them.

edit: What the hell, I do love them. Just not in the same way.

Silver R. Bolt

The animation looks better than in Season 3, so it might just reused assets…. Or switched teams. The original people to work on Season 3's webisodes was a small 2 man team one of which was Uncle Trevor from Arrested Development.

I'm not a fan of it. Though I'm bitter because I was approached and didn't get it. :/ Here were my designs.

Here we go, 8 hours to launch.

C'mon Community, do us proud. It we get a 2+ in ratings, season six is practically a guarantee.

DarthAsthma

What is this complicated feeling… anticipation? For community? No way I was mentally satisfied but now I after reading the ign interviews with everyone I just can't help it but be genuinely excited for it to return.
I just hope it's not going to disappoint.

Pls be good, pls pls pls.

For that episode 4 description,

! I'm really hoping Pierce isn't actually dead, and this is an elaborate scheme to find out what the group thinks of him (even if they inevitably couldn't show Pierce during the episode), which seems like it would be in-character. Killing him off, particularly after his storyline was already wrapped up (in an admittedly rushed way) in the previous season finale, seems mean-spirited and petty, and I'd like to think that the people behind Community are better than that.

Kitsune Inferno

It doesn't really matter what they do, imo, but it would be amazing if they brought back Chevy Chase as a special guest star, even though it would probably never happen.

maxterdexter

I was watching a friends marathon (Warner channel one of three series, the other being 2 1/2 men and the big bang theory) and I noticed that the guy who Rachel freaks out in the plane in the final chapter is Jim Rash, our fabulous dean!

Being anoyed by Rachel in a plane brings good luck:

I'm really excited for all you East Coasters (/others) with the premier only an hour away. This is the first time I've ever worked on something and not seen the product all the way through. I saw the script for each episode, I helped film the episodes, but the final product is going to be so different. When it comes to comedy, editors really are the unsung heroes. Just remember that as you watch tonight.

Hope you all enjoy!

! Was that new footage from Chevy or archive footage spliced together?

Wooden_Giraffe

Well done on the opener community. Now give me more.

LUFFY1fan

That was perfect. Can't believe I was so close to dropping this show last season.

@Kitsune:

I'm wondering that also, the joke about him not even suppose to be on the show/set(can't remember the exact joke atm) got me thinking that it wasn't just stock footage.

I know everything.

How 'bout this: In the Cage classroom, on the Blackboard, you can see "Always be Cageing" written. I wrote it. I needed to set up the lighting for that scene, and we were kind of running behind (okay we were always running behind) so I helped them finish dressing the set. I had to do that a lot actually.

Abed's Cagedown was one of the hardest thigns I have ever had to do. t was pretty much impossible not to laugh. That was my first real challenge on set. It was for most of the crew, actually. Danny Pudi is just amazing.

As for what's coming. Next week is good. The week after? Might be my favorite episode of the show. Not to, you know, hype anything too much. It's a really close call though.

Anywho, I haven't actually got to watch them yet. Got to wait another 40 minutes. >__>

My cautious pessimism was all part of the bluff.
