What especially encouraged me was Harmon's assertion about getting back to the storytelling aspect of seasons 1 and 2. While I loved season 3, I get what he was saying about how "thinking about the finale while shooting the premiere" hurt some aspects of the season, and I think it's encouraging that he recognized that…

Does anyone besides me have a rewatching complex? There are so many shows lately that I'd like to rewatch (OITNB, for one) and re-rewatch (Breaking Bad S5, Arrested Development S4, New Girl S2… the list goes on), but I just can't bring myself to do it and waste time that could be spent on new shows. The fact that time…

If they had announced it there, there would've been a lot of whining from British fans about why they would reveal it in the U.S., etc., so I didn't really expect them to pull that.

This is absolute genius. Bravo.

Boston Vice!

Friday Night Lights absolutely deserved those Emmys (the writing one was for the best series finale I've ever seen) and about 50 more, for that matter. The Suitcase was great, but nowhere near on that level in my book.

I personally found episode 1 to be the best episode of the first 5 or so. Many people seem to be more enamored with the 3/4 double header, so maybe you'll enjoy those more? Personally, I find that the show starts strong, settles into a comfortable B+ish groove for a few episodes, then ramps up about halfway through…

Likewise. I was gonna check out HSUSA for the hell of it, but the commercial they showed for it in between the two shows completely killed any desire I had to watch it.

I enjoyed it, but I can somehow understand that reaction. The show's humor doesn't depend so much on making actual jokes as much as it just takes a bunch of completely ridiculous nonsense and plays it as straight as it can. I can see reactions to that going either way.

I wonder whether soda or juice is better.

Harmon's Comic-Con intro

The sequel to IDF worked out pretty well.

I keep forgetting that through all this Community news, we still don't know when the show is actually coming back.

Yeah, you missed the craze when like 5 of us discovered it. YOU SHOULD'VE MENTIONED IT SOONER, DAMMIT.

For some reason, I keep forgetting that Hannibal aired this year. I posted this in the thread there, but currently it's a tight race for me between Hannibal and Orange, which are both incredibly fascinating in very different ways. I think I'm going with Hannibal for now, but it's tough to say since I digested (ha)…

Breaking Bad, Doctor Who, and Community Comic-Con panels all in a row. Sunday is truly the greatest Comic-Con day.

I haven't seen Rectify, but I found OITNB significantly more engaging than both Mad Men (I even really liked this season of Mad Men) and Enlightened (I think I'm the exception for this one. I wasn't as crazy about Enlightened as the rest of you, though I enjoyed season 2). I can see Breaking Bad topping it, but it's…

I even like Mad Men, and I couldn't agree more with this statement.

It worked in Parks (for season 3, at the very least) and for at least a handful of characters that The Office added later in life (Erin and early-period Andy, most notably). I think it'd be much harder to pull off due to Community's relatively smaller cast, but I don't think such an idea would be outright impossible.

Chang (Kevin? whatever) is the only person who I could see being organically added to the group without it being too jarring. Anyone else, new, formerly recurring, or otherwise, would take a lot of convincing.
