Community NBC

The October 19 season 4 premiere of NBC’s killer cult-favorite Community will be a tribute to The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins. We fervently hope Dean Pelton will have mind-boggling outfits akin to Effie Trinket (with a slightly different personality) and that Greendale is transformed into a magical and mystical arena (with less death involved).

Known by Americans for his role in Kristen Wiig’s Bridesmaids, British Comedian Matt Lucas will join the Community crew in a multi-episode arc early in Season 4 stirring up trouble for our favorite bromance, Troy and Abed.

Thanks to Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything), the ousted creator of Community, Dan Harmon, answered any and all questions. Here we list some of our favorites.

While Community fans eagerly await the season 4 premiere on October 19, we located two different gag reels from season 3 to remind you why you love the show (in case you forgot). One features Alison Brie (Annie) rapping and the other features word vomit (no wait, actual vomit).

So while we’ve all been frightened for our favorite eclectic comedy due to the shortened fourth season, the move to Friday and the unceremonious ousting of creator Dan Harmon, NBC says the fourth season may not be the show’s last. But at what cost?

In the second installment of the season 3 finale of Community, Troy (Donald Glover) sacrificed himself to save the lives of the study group. Has NBC sacrificed Dan Harmon to save Community? This column will dissect the unintentional parallels between the finale and the firing.

Last week we lost Star-Burns, and this week we commemorate his memory in “Course Listing Unavailable.” But will his death lead to greater problems for the study group?

Community‘s Neil Goldman and Garrett Donovan have been executive producers for the show since its inception in 2009, and serve as the namesakes for Greendale characters Fat Neil and Garrett respectively. Will their departure affect the show’s core humor and it’s chance for renewal?

Community has been chosen as the number one show that fans don’t want to see cancelled next year in E! online’s ‘Save One Show’ campaign. “They say our show is a cult show but I believe our fans are actually in a cult,” Joel McHale told E. “Without them we would not exist, literally. We are so grateful. Thank you, fans!”
