"Season 4 - On May 10, 2012, NBC announced that Community had been renewed for a fourth season consisting of 13 episodes[7] and will move to Fridays at 8:30 pm.[81]"

Show isn't getting canceled but creator Dan Harmon has been forced off the show.

Great to hear its not being cancelled then. If Dan Harmon is being forced off the show then it might take a turn for the worst..

Not sure if Chevy Chase had anything to do with it, but could be that NBC execs wanted it to be more accessible to the general public, less 'meta' or quirky than it had become in season 2 and 3.

Unfortunate if you ask me, though some episodes were really out there (the one with the timelines), many more were epic (original paintball episode, the law and order episode, the doc style pillow fort) that likely wouldn't have been without Harmon at the helm.

those episodes were pretty epic indeed :fullofwin:

Dan Harmon was forced off the show, wtf??? yeah, I think this show is gonna start sucking. Hopefully the writers can make scripts in the spirit of Dan Harmon.

8-bit episode was probably my favorite episode of any show, of all time.

really? i thought it was so random

totally random and didn't contribute to main storyline but still awesome haha

The timeline episode with the dice and pizza was great. Trying to keep the timeline thing going into other episodes was weak.

And I swear, over the last 3 season, they try to make Troy and Abed gayer and gayer. Yes we understand they are best friends but DAMN!

The dreamatorium is really lame too.

NSFW

Spoiler!

^unfortunately it's fake...the see-through shirt that is.

Community is hilarious. I think it's definitely one of the best thirty minute shows. Very creative with each episode.

:sweetjesus: I wish I was that arm.

New season started 3 weeks ago. I was a bit worried for this season since Harmon is gone. The premiere was okay. The 2nd episode was the Halloween episode, and that was decent, and a little creepy. Last night's episode, the Inspector Spacetime Convention, felt like the Community I knew and loved. Many laughs were had, and I was pleasantly surprised with the cameo's at the credits.

The best part was

<--------- Loves Alison Brie :megusta:
Only started watching Community recently. Managed to watch all 3 seasons over winter break, so I'm all caught up now. I thought the first 2 episodes of season 4 were alright. Halloween one was definitely creepy, but still good. Looking forward to the rest of the season. :notbad:

first 2 episodes were terrible. 3rd was a bit better, you can def feel the loss of harmon

Finished 3 seasons during winter break and loved the show. Planning on waiting for all the episodes for season 4 to come out to watch them all at once. :fullofwin:

best part of ep 3

Spoiler!

Dan Harmon is going back to school. While the Community creator and former showrunner was fired following the conclusion of the NBC comedy’s third season, rumors have been swirling in recent weeks that Harmon had been asked to return to the series this year for the bubble show’s fifth season. Moses Port and David Guarascio—who replaced Harmon as the showrunners of season four to decidedly mixed results—opted not to come back for season five when NBC semi-surprisingly renewed the series for another season, and with Chevy Chase gone as well, the opportunity seemed ripe for Harmon to come back. Now Community fans have reason to rejoice, as Harmon has confirmed on Twitter that he is indeed returning to the series. Hit the jump for more.

Harmon confirmed his return to Community on Twitter

While it’s not uncommon for shows to undergo staffing changes behind the scenes, the essence of Community very much came from the mind of Harmon. Much like an Aaron Sorkin-less The West Wing , Harmon’s absence was wholeheartedly felt in season four, as everything from the show’s sense of humor to the characters seemed off. There were a couple of bright spots to be found, specifically the excellent Jim Rash-penned body swap episode, but all in all Harmon’s return is very, very good news for fans of the series.

Taking to Twitter, the creative went on to hint that he’s already staffing the show, humorously asking his Twitter followers if anyone knew any talented writers that “haven’t been hired by Parks and Rec.” Many of Community’s veteran writers exited the series at the same time as Harmon, with Megan Ganz recently making the move to ABC’s Modern Family. I’m interested to see how Harmon addresses season four when the show returns, if he does so at all. Will he claim that this most recent season was all a dream? Will he acknowledge certain story developments like Ken Jeong’s awful “Changnesia” arc or the infiltration of the darkest timeline? We’ll find out for sure when Community returns for what is likely its final round of episodes, though NBC has not announced a firm airdate for the comedy just yet so don’t expect to see it until midseason.

tl:dr - Dan Harmon is back for season 5! Oh, and Chevy Chase is gone... which I'm fine with 'cause I never liked Pierce.
