So now we need a Canada subforum? Good news for me, not so much for others. It wouldn't surprise me if it's more popular in Canada than America.
 
Have I missed something? I thought it was postponed from October to early November? Now I am seeing early Feb :(
 
There wasn't a time frame afaik when it was postponed, just people hoping and probably rightly assuming that if it was ready to go it wouldn't get a long delay.

Stupid networks, I really don't get this "must do reality tv money making crap" mentality. Sure a reality tv show might get one type of viewer and make more money purely based on the income vs cost to make the show, but Community will still make money, it still gets viewers. Get another channel and just do both, or get of your arse and find another way to sell good tv. I'd buy a subscription to a network online in an instant IF it was available so I could watch what I want, when its availble. Thats just more profit.

I'm not going to watch reality tv if community isn't on, I'll watch nothing, why they can't just go after both audiences at the same time I really don't know. Doesn't help that they are so painfully backward in both distributing shows online, and painfully backwards in how they decide the viewers a show gets.

You put some dating reality show online for people to pay to see, and put Community online, I bet almost no one gets the reality show and millions would pay to see Community.

everyone I know downloads american tv to watch, everyone gets comedies, drama's, etc, no one, I don't know a single person who downloads reality tv. Networks are run by idiots.
 
Looks like season 4 will be 13 episodes only, at least it's all already been filmed. Chase made it no secret that he absolutely hates the show. But it begs the question: Why quit if the show was gonna get cancelled anyway? :confused:

BRING BACK DAN HARMON!

It was not just chase that didnt get on with him you know, a good few of the cast and crew didnt....

I liked Pierce in the show but Chevy Chase seems like a tool and I'm glad that he's leaving, he was dragging the show down with behind the scenes drama.
 
Chase has said in interviews that he thinks the sitcom is the "lowest of the low" when it comes to TV.

Guy is a colossal ****.

Afaik, Harmon is a drunk, has issues with most people but the most public/loud with Chevy. Chevy was absolutely right in that in the first season and some of two, he was just a funny older character, the made some jokes about his age and some not particularly bad race ones, but that was it. Towards the end of 2 and all of 3, his character was descended into a racist, senile, dithering moron, his character wasn't funny and the show went massively downhill.... and lots of people thought this, not just Chevy.

However Chevy thought this was Harmon trying to make his character make Chevy look stupid as an actor because Harmon didn't want him on the show, and honestly, thats the way it looked. He was great in the first series, in the third, his "jokes" were things like drinking ink from a pen.... being drug addled, and racist.

The main issue is, Chevy was right, and from interviews I've seen, he thought the show was great but has become a bog standard boring sitcom since then and doesn't like the direction and his comment about race recently wasn't remotely racist, but anger at the direction of the show and a statement that he wondered essentially, if the next step in the decline would be having him be a full on racist in the show.

Either they wanted him out and made his character unbearable to play, or the show was going completely downhill and wanted his character to be a racist unfunny ****.

I honestly don't know, but the decline in the show has been clear as day, if Chevy quit because it got even worse.... I guess we'll see when the series finally airs if he was right or not.

Either way, Harmon's behaviour publically towards Chevy was as unprofessional as you get, somewhat showed off exactly who he is as a person... and rather reinforced the drinking problem idea. Get someone in t a room privately and swear your face off if you want, but to try and publically humiliate someone, infront of the cast AND Chevy's family.... in that argument/situation there was one man in the wrong, so completely in the wrong the network got rid of him.


Also, afaik, Chase is like, rediculously rich, he was doing it because he wanted to do a comedy again, and afaik, he liked the show, just not where its gone since.
 
Don't know the full details on what he was like to work with, but it's a shame for the show at least, Pierce was a good character to have in there.
 
Chevy will be in this season still though right? All filmed? Just won't be in the next season (no that there'll be a next anyway)?
 
Pierce is one of my favourite characters, it really wouldn't be right without him.

Finally getting round to watching the second half of season 3, it's good stuff :D
