Team Community:

With last night's news of David Guarascio and Moses Port as new showrunners/EPs on "Community" running in the press, and since we know that cast members have interviews coming up this week, I wanted to forward some messaging we hope our cast will find helpful as they navigate questions that will undoubtedly come up. I know that David and Moses are reaching out to them all directly but I've also heard from some of the actors that they'd like some guidance on the topic.

I saw some of the tweets that went out and were glad they all addressed their own sentiments quickly, and we're hoping that the news will lose some steam over the next day, especially if we're not perpetuating the topic in any way

We're tracking the coverage and conversation and will circle back if we feel the need to reshift our plan or messaging. Please let me know if you have questions.

Why did Dan get let go from the show?

We're not made aware of why staffing changes take place but I will always be grateful to Dan for his great work on the show and wish him only the best. We're also excited that we'll be back on NBC's schedule in the fall and are looking forward to working on those episodes.

Were you aware that Dan was going to be let go?

No, that's not something we're consulted on. I'm sad to see him go but I am looking forward to starting our next 13 episodes of "Community."

Did the studio or network consult with you about these changes?

No they didn't but we're looking forward to working with David Guarascio & Moses Port on a new season of Community.

What are their plans for the new season?

It's a little early to say at this point but we're looking forward the stories our characters will find themselves in come Sept.

Basq · 24-05-2012 4:02pm

The NBC exec's clearly told them say nothing and just reinforce your excitement to work on the show..

So it's safe to say they're looking forward to working on it..

That's exactly what that memo is. It's a list of "here is how we would like you to respond to questions about Dan" along with specific examples.

Megan Ganz (one of the key writers on "Community") just tweeted that she will be back for the upcoming season. Good news!

That's good, she wrote both the documentary film-making episodes, the bottle episode and the law and order episode, which were all excellent.

Kilkenny14 · 25-05-2012 10:30am

Great to hear that Megan Ganz is staying, it gives me some hope Season 4 will be decent.

Also in another news, Alison Bire is going out with James Franco's brother from Scrubs 2.0

psicic · 25-05-2012 8:00pm

First Friday without a new episode.... not sure I'm going to make a whole summer without new episodes :eek:

120_Minutes · 25-05-2012 9:52pm

Just finished the last episode. I love this show, but if it were to end now, that episode was a perfect "out". I reckon they weren't expecting to be picked up for season 4.

phasers · 25-05-2012 11:10pm

I've just started rewatching all the episodes now and it's really jarring how different all the characters, especially Troy and Britta are. Also I miss Professor Duncan.

Seren_ · 26-05-2012 12:07am

A few of the other writers have said that they'll be back too - Andy Bobrow (who has written episodes including Mixology Certification and Pillows & Blankets) and Steve Basilone & Annie Mebane (who wrote Regional Holiday Music and Introduction to Finality). So at least with them and Megan Ganz on board there should hopefully still be some decent episodes

Vulture have a Season 3 quiz! I got 25/25

I'm such a nerd hahaha!

And a redditor called Derferman has made a short demo of Journey to the Centre of Hawkthorne - you can download it here.

That is pretty sweet. Wonder how 'exact' they're going to try and match the game shown in the show.

Would anybody be surprised if Donald Glover is less involved or even pulls out of any further seasons?he seems to be concentrating mainly on his music in interviews and the like(not necessarily a bad thing,Gambino is unbelievably good) and apparently he may have a pretty big role on the second season of girls

AlmightyCushion · 28-05-2012 1:34am

I hope not, Troy is awesome.

phasers · 28-05-2012 2:18pm

Well I know on one Gambino song he mentioned wanting the show to be cancelled because he wanted to move on, which is the reason he left 30 Rock as well. Seems like he doesn't want to be tied to anything long term, but I hope he stays for the next and most likely last, season.

Be interesting to see how they'd make Abed cope (I know we've some idea but for a full season).

"Troy and Abed in the morning" to become "Abed in mourning" ?

Basq · 28-05-2012 3:03pm

Donald Glover is a man of many talents.. an excellent rapper, fantastic comedic actor, top notch comedian (his Michael Cera as 'Shaft' bit is amazing, but not on YouTube!

) and a damn fine writer!

NBC should do everything possible to keep him on side - certainly as long as Community is on the air... which is inevitably for one final season.

Would I be suprised if he left Community? He certainly thrives in that role, and does look like it really enjoys it.

But now than Dan Harmon has been sacked.. all bets are off. I've a feeling if actor's contracts were up, there'd certainly be a shake-up!

EDIT: Just found the Black Spiderman / Michael Cera as Shaft bit..

Seren_ · 28-05-2012 4:53pm

I'm pretty sure all the main cast are contracted to appear in the show for the upcoming season at least, so Donald Glover won't be leaving any time soon. After that I'm not sure, but it's unlikely it'll be renewed for more seasons anyway.

Did he not leave 30 Rock because he got the role on Community?

in the unlikely but welcome (hopefully anyway) event that there's more I wonder would he retturn?

No I'm pretty sure he left to do stand-up, and if my memory serves me right, he was going to do a different series that wasn't picked up.Maybe I'm wrong but I think thats right

Pushtrak · 29-05-2012 11:31pm

This one is brilliant.

Basq · 30-05-2012 9:38am

Yep, linked to that in my post above.

The whole 'Weirdo' show is great.. recommend it to everyone!

beng128 · 30-05-2012 9:19pm

The whole of wierdo is online if anybody wants to watch,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VfIuVbgXnc

I've had it bookmarked for a while now, keep meaning to watch it, hearing lots of good things about it.

Also the Journey to The Center of Hawkthorne game is coming along nicely on reddit. They've got all the characters and are working on the forest level.

sprucemoose · 31-05-2012 12:59am

if season 4 is gonna be the last then what about a spin-off?how about a "Troy and Abed in the Morning" show but in the style of the Larry Sanders show?:-)
Also has anybody got any of the t-shirts (Community or other ones) from redbubble.com?Interested in getting a laser lotus one but wanna know are they reliable first

phasers · 31-05-2012 9:17am

Oh no, no spin offs! The show is very much an ensemble effort, anyone breaking off from the group would just lead to another Joey.

I've seen Redbubble recommended on the Community Reddit Sprucemoose so I think they're legit.

Speaking of merch, I want a Troy and Abed in the Morning mug so badly but NBC's shipping rates are bloody extortionate.

Basq · 31-05-2012 9:24am

TeeBusters have a couple of great Community T-Shirts.. won a voucher for 4 free tees off them during the week so hoping they come up soon!

Inspector Spacetime ftw!

That purple and yellow one would go perfectly with my Lakers Superstars. How do you buy them? That TeeBusters site makes no sense to me.

You vote for them.. and if there's interest, they sell them over a 48 hour period. See the homepage for the current one

If you miss them, tough tits!

None of the 'Community' ones have been printed as of yet AFAIK.

pickarooney · 31-05-2012 1:18pm

What's the average number of votes needed to get one printed? I guess it's well north of 8

Unfortunately, the logic there is a little "off".

I presumed it was based on votes - but since you can see the ones that were printed here.. the top one has 368 votes while the one that just was up yesterday has '0'.

You weren't lying. Even the domestic shipping is ridiculous.

I did the NBC Studios Tour in NYC in the States in February.. and was meant to go back and pick up some cheap merch in the store (Chuck has ended the week previously, so it was full of Nerd-Herder stuff at practically nothing) but never got a chance. Some of the Community merchandise was great!

ronano · 31-05-2012 6:32pm

i've never wanted a tshirt like the above until now, the beards one, god yes

Watched all of Weirdo the other night. Glover is a brilliant stand-up

Community has received six nominations in the Critics' Choice Awards

Linky

Up for Best Comedy, Joel McHale for Best Lead Actor, Danny Pudi & Jim Rash for Best Supporting Actors and Gillian Jacobs & Alison Brie for Best Supporting Actresses.

phasers · 06-06-2012 9:05pm

Finally Community has been nominated for something!

God the supporting actor category is a tough call. Can they both have it?

I'm going with Gillian for supporting actress though, she always nails it. Britta was so awesome this season

Kylo Ren · 06-06-2012 9:49pm

I hope it has not been posted before. This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. A guy made 'Journey to the Center of the Hawkthorne'

Kiith · 07-06-2012 10:49am

Britta's the worst.

And by worst, i mean best. She's been great in season 3.

pickarooney · 07-06-2012 11:17am

Has anyone tried the game? I'm playing as Troy but it just goes around in circles with only a few spidery monsters to jump on and no interactions.
