This is exactly what is happening. At Comic-Con he stated that him and McKenna are running this thing together, breaking stories together, and gave him proper due for all of the great, great episodes/events that he was necessary in throughout the first three seasons.

I touched on this in another post, but it was her appearance on "You Made It Weird with Pete Holmes" where she talks about how stressful the Community writers' room was, the results not justifying the effort, and how if she had stayed at Community longer, it very likely might have broke her as a writer.

I felt exactly the same way. These are great, great songs, that are pulled off perfectly in an amazing episode in its own right.

He's at least employing a different strategy for the writers' room this season where they're breaking all (if not most) of the episodes first, before starting to write any of them, rather than doing both at the same time.

I'm one of the biggest Ganz supporters, and feel the bulk of her episodes are within the show's ten strongest, and she seemed to have a strong relationship with Harmon where even off-hours they were talking about breaking things like the format for "Remedial Chaos Theory."

I'm kind of astounded that no one focused on the random letter that the mailman was reading aloud with Ryan, that reveals the woman not only has HIV, but the man is suffering from PTSD. By far my favorite joke of these two episodes, and Knighton continually interjecting the letter with asides like, "Really sad stuff,…

Jeff Goldblum should have won all of the awards for his portrayal of Vaisosa in that "Peggy's a genius episode." Every line he says and his cadence behind them is just perfect.

"But he IS based on the real President Bartlett, right?"
A fucking PERFECT Bobby line.

"How long have you been sitting there?"
"For the last fifteen years."

It still blows my mind that they actually had Peggy in a body cast/wheelchair/showed her full recovery in "real-time" after her accident.

MOULDY OLD BONES, FULL OF GREEN DUST

I love Peggy to death but understand the hate. I'd say the only moment that she falls into outright villainy is when she intentionally teaches Lucky wrong information so he'll fail his GED test.

The live-action Monsignor Martinez spin-off was ACTUALLY FILMED. I've spent years tying to track it down, and I've become resolved that it only exists in Greg Daniels basement or something. The closest thing you can find on it is an interview Daniels did about it around the time of production.

People don't also realize that THIS show is what started "That's what she said" and not The Office. Granted, the Office certainly popularized it. But the sexual harassment episode with Ben Stiller (and with Greg Daniels involvement) is what started the whole thing.

I also don't think enough credit goes to the truly fucked up episode where Michael Keaton is voicing a pig farmer and takes Luanne in. You see he's more and more messed up as time goes on and that his goal seems to be to turn Luanne, himself, and a pig into the characters on a barbecue sauce label. Only, he's not…

It's such, such, SUCH a brilliant joke that Hank's half-Japanese brother makes "robots and robot accessories." Like, I cannot even fathom.

So, let me get a consensus here. Is Pixley actually a "good" name? I often tug-of-war with myself that if I were to have a daughter, that I'd actually name her this.

A lot of people hate on it, but I have equal affection for when in Studio 60, when Danny is talking to Jordan in the hospital about marrying her. She comments how he hasn't thought this through and that none of this is genuine, and then he busts out the ring.

Absolutely. It was the worst.

This is the only thing that makes sense. Maybe the latter was running short in time or something. I feel there's another episode later in the season that does this too, but I may just have been thinking about how the "Glocca Morra" anecdote doesn't fall in the "Glocca Morra" episode.
