Yeah, I'm not worried about him quitting. I'm more worried about them thinking because they didn't have enough faith in him when it came time to promote him, they're better off cutting him loose and trying to give someone else a chance to become a bigger name with that 12:30 show.

Also, I really hope Ferguson getting passed over doesn't mean he's going to be out altogether shortly. His show is just the right kind of weird, and he'll benefit if Colbert brings in a bigger and younger audience than Dave.

They'd be better off replacing the Colbert Report with a completely different type of show instead of trying to replace it with something similar with someone new, or by putting together a second Daily Show type show.

Let's think about CBS for a minute. It's not a forward thinking network. It's a network married to formula. Even its "youthful" programming is very polished and broad-based. So this isn't a network that's going to pluck someone out of obscurity (I know people will point to Ferguson, but Letterman's people found him,…

I would have 100% said John Oliver before, but he just got this new show.

The trolliest of troll moves CBS could pull off is Leno. It would enrage so many, I almost wish it happens.

Depends on whether the down tick was people being weirded out by GI Joe, or overall audience loss. The show lost almost 1 million total viewers from the last new episode. I tend to think it was just people didn't get the episode and tuned out, but we'll see w/ the final two eps.

Rating for the episode was 1.1 — 3.5 million viewers. Actually, I think, a pretty key week for Community's possible renewal. It actually works to the show's benefit if it can maintain its audience against big events (i.e. NCAA Tournament) because CBS is counterprogramming with football next year. Nothing on any…

He kind of said he had intended to move the show away from Greendale after the fourth season but there was so much damage he needed to reground the show in what everybody who liked it was familiar with, so he had to improvise a solution.

Please lock your tray tables in the party position.

I generally agree about not needing too much Chang story, and that he does work best as a Greendale weirdo, but I do think there's value in some basic Chang facts that could help make what he does more funny. Like, in Season 1 we learned
-He was married and separated
-He has a brother who's a rabbi
-He learned Spanish…

And Koogler. Season 5 will always be the Season of Koogler.

I'm actually a little surprised (but not disappointed) how not Jeff centric this season has been. Other than the first two episodes, he's really kind of taken a back seat as just part of the ensemble. This season's really been a Britta tour de force.

I think if the show holds the line it's probably fine just because NBC has nothing other than it and Parks & Rec and Community has so much value as an insurance replacement show, but if it takes a dive in the final few episodes, could get dicey.

Didn't they make a point that Abed placed GPS trackers on all of them and Pierce's is in his coffin and buried. I'm not saying you can't write him back in, I just can't think of anything plausible that'd be worth it.

How would you even write Chevy back in at this point?

So are we ever going to revisit that Jeff actually teaches classes, or is that just going to be assumed but never seen.

Chang's in a good spot because he's not completely insane and more grounded. Just chart the character by each season.

It was meh. I get they were (very loosely) trying to do a little bit of a Walter White homage with the Apple stock thing but the jokes didn't really come off. But the rest of the episode was fantastic.

Definitely will miss Raising Hope, but I have to think it's slightly good news for Enlisted. If anything, it has to mean they're they're still seriously considering keeping it around, especially with this transitional period the network is going through.
