69los Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/community-table-read-dan-harmon-donald-glover-joel-mchale-1234601209/ Quote Six seasons and a Zoom call. The cast of “Community” and creator Dan Harmon are reuniting for a virtual table read and Q&A, in order to benefit COVID-19 relief efforts. Among the participants will be Donald Glover, who departed “Community” during its fifth season — marking the first time he’s been a part of a “Community” event since leaving the show. Stars Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie, Jim Rash, Ken Jeong and Glover are all set to join the table read, along with Harmon. The table read will be shown in its entirety, along with a Q&A of fan questions, on Monday, May 18, at 2 p.m. PT via Sony Pictures TV’s “Community” YouTube page. The cast is set to read “Cooperative Polygraphy,” the fourth episode of Season 5, which first aired January 16, 2014 on NBC. This was a great episode. Not quite as good as its predecessor, Cooperative Calligraphy, but still good. Unfortunately, Walton Goggins won't be in on it so I guess Harmon will be reading his lines.

69los Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 I do find it funny that they picked the episode where they disclose his character's will. I think the big get is Glover though. This is his first get-together with the cast since he left. Even if it's the boredom of isolation, it's assuring to fans that if he's willing to do this, there's still hope for a future project down the line. The show got a bit of a revival since it dropped on Netflix last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are few actors that misjudged their worth to a show worse than Chase did with that show. Basically sounded like a Calculon plot from Futurama. 26 minutes ago, DPCyric said: I watched the first episode this week and it got me hooked! I really missed out on this one...

It's one of those shows where I think it's hard to appreciate the cult following if you join late and watch all the seasons at once. Don't get me wrong, it's a good show and I enjoyed it, but it's definately one of those shows that peaks in it's first few seasons and then becomes something of a parody of itself. It's from the creator of Rick and Morty. And if you haven't watched that show, I highly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairslinger Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 It's only 10 episodes per season and only halfway through season 4. It can be ploughed through in a session or two of binging. It's one of those shows that are dense with enjoyment. Not too many wasted or bland scenes. In the whole run so far I could probably count on one hand the number of episodes I consider blah.

I think the cult following really developed around seasons 2 and 3. Both of those seasons had pretty greats runs of insane high-concept episodes, while being one of the lowest rated shows that kept barely getting renewed.

Guest Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I wish they would have written a new episode, but this is still a fun idea. One of my all time favorite shows. Probably due for a rewatch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairslinger Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 ....and a movie! Quote "I can tell people for sure that the enthusiasm for Community, both for all of this time and the resurgence of it [on Netflix], there's always an aspect of that affects the marketplace," he said. "And when the marketplace gets affected, conversations happen. And when conversations happen, things happen." "I mean, when you're part of the Community family, you learn never to raise expectations, keep 'em nice and low and then be pleasantly surprised," he continued. "So I can say that there are conversations happening that people would want to be happening and that I'm very, very excited about the coming months." Community seems like the kind of show that could do really cool things with a movie. Just shooting a one time movie could help avoid the revolving door casting problems of the last few seasons, and their high concept episodes that @TheLeon mentioned felt like mini-movies to begin with. Plus, it would just be cool if, after all the twists and turns, Six Seasons and a Movie!!! became a reality 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I mean, I'm not black, but I have a hard time imagining anyone being offended by that episode. Sucks that it's being removed, as it's one of the classic episodes of the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 As the article says, there’s a lot about Community that’s potentially problematic; “gay” is used an an insult pretty regularly, Shirley and Troy are saddled with black stereotype baggage, teachers / administrators sexually pursue students, Jeff pursues a teenager while he’s in his mid 30s, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
