Due to the notion of self-distancing and, in general, staying home in these weird times, we have no doubt that you’re indulging every show and movie that you ever thought about watching/rewatching.

So, now is about as good a time as ever to find out that the landmark sitcom Community created by Dan Harmon will not only be on one streaming service, but, due to a nifty deal that Sony Pictures TV struck, be available on both Hulu and Netflix. The series is already on Hulu and will begin streaming on Netflix on Apr. 1st.

There are six seasons to watch and maybe this will lead to #sixseasonsandamovie becoming a reality.

Vulture’s annual shindig, Vulture Festival is back for another round and plenty of stuff that you’ll really want to make the effort to get to the Hollywood Roosevelt for.

Their schedule already includes a Party Down reunion, a Community reunion, a Good Place panel, an AIM conversation with PEN15 creators, a MacGruber screening with live commentary from Will Forte, and a showcase of Vulture’s annual Comedians You Should and Will Know list*.

That very, very stacked schedule sounds pretty swell, right? Well, you best go get your tickets before they inevitably sell out here.

All Six Seasons of Community Are Now Streaming Exclusively on Hulu

It has been a long and winding road for Community going from NBC to Yahoo to, now, Hulu, especially having started off as a network sitcom and living through the rise of streaming services. Anyone still hoping for that #sixseasonsandamovie?

With that in mind, note how Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, and others seem to be stockpiling TV series in their entirety when the majority of TV audiences become cut the cord to cable.

William Shakespeare and Dan Harmon Fight Over Writing, “Community”, and “Dirty Grandpa” on Latest “Great Minds”

Thomas Middleditch, who just happens to be a member of The Improvised Shakespeare Company, made for a great William Shakespeare on last night’s episode of Great Minds with Dan Harmon.

Unfortunately, for Harmon, Shakespeare and him didn’t quite get along as well as he had hoped especially for William’s take on modern movies and TV. They, in fact, get into a shouting match hurling insults from across the centuries at each other.

Enjoy it all here.

Yahoo Screen To Be No More

January 5, 2016

community, other space, sin city saints, yahoo, yahoo screen

That’s really too bad.

After Community’s latest season, SNL, Other Space, and Sin City Saints didn’t quite work out the way Yahoo wanted, Yahoo is calling it quits with their free streaming service, Yahoo Screen.

The SNL archive now rests online at Seeso and Other Space and Sin City Saints can be viewed within Yahoo rather than Yahoo Screen exclusively.

We guess this will have to be chalked up as an inevitable false start in the rise of streaming services to the prominence of networks and studios.

Joel McHale Says Season 6 Was The Last Season of “Community”; Sony and Yahoo Say They’re Still in Discussions

However, there still seems to be hope for a movie.

Community star Joel McHale said that Yahoo couldn’t afford another season of Community with all of the cast’s rates going up since the beginning of the series. However, Yahoo and Sony, in response to McHale’s comments, are apparently still talking about what might be next.

Still, McHale, series creator Dan Harmon along with these open discussions between Yahoo and Sony point towards the goal of #sixseasonsandamovie coming to fruition.

It Would Seem That The Fate of “Community” Comes Down To Whether Everyone Wants To Come Back

community, dan harmon, joel mchale, yahoo

As of right now, there is no official word on whether there will be a 7th season of Community on Yahoo.

Yet, based off of Joel McHale’s appearance on Conan this week and the positive response that the season 6 finale seems to be getting, the door seems open to doing a movie or more episodes of Community so long as the cast and Dan Harmon want to get moving on either one.

They are so close to accomplishing #sixseasonsandamovie, but it would be hard to think of them doing a movie just for a hashtag.

The First Two Episodes of Community Season 6 Are Here

community, season 6, yahoo

There was a small bit of time where we were nervous that this wasn’t going to happen, but thankfully Yahoo has come through and Community is now completely part of the online streaming age.

So, the first two episodes of season 6 of Community have been released on Yahoo and new episodes will come every Tues. until the end of the season.

So, go back to Greendale and enjoy Ladders and Lawnmower Maintenance Postnatal Care now.

Here’s a Clip of Season 6 of “Community” To Get You Through to Tomorrow For The Season Premiere on Yahoo

community, variety, yahoo

Variety got this exclusive clip that not only will give you a bit of relief if you need any sort of Community fix before tomorrow’s premiere.

Tomorrow, Yahoo will be furthering themselves in the online streaming game by premiering season 6 of Community and then offering a new episode to stream on Tuesdays.

We have a feeling that #sixseasonsandamovie won’t be all that Harmon has in store for Community if the new home at Yahoo fares well.

NBC Planning Subscription Based Online Streaming Service For Comedy

(via Wall Street Journal)

NBC must be taking cues from how well comedy does online with the dedicated fan bases of The Office, Parks and Recreation, and Community as they’re now developing a subscription online service targeted for comedy. It’s not clear how this service will work specifically, but if it’s more like HBO GO, then that’s probably a step in the right direction.

NBC is saying episodes of The Tonight Show and Saturday Night Live will be available, we’re more curious about the fates of the aforementioned Office, Parks and Rec, etc. and whether they will be taken off of Hulu and Netflix to live exclusively at this NBC streaming service.

Also, more content will be developed for this service, which, we hope means that they will be putting more backing behind certain pilots like Adam Scott and Joe Mande’s dispensary comedy.

Watch Trailer for Season 6 of Community/Community: Age of Yahoo

Of course Dan Harmon and his whole crew at Community gave The Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer a run for its money in the trailer for season 6 of Community.

So, without further interruption, here’s the trailer of Community season 6/Age of Yahoo now featuring the talents of Paget Brewster and Keith David.

Also, be sure to add a reminder on your calendar that the premiere is on Mar. 17th.

Community Season 6 Premiering on Mar. 17th at Yahoo

January 13, 2015

community, season 6, yahoo

After the harrowing time where we wondered whether Community was going to live on or end its run at 5 seasons, we have now have a more enjoyable period in waiting for the season 6 premiere.

More specifically, all you have to do is wait until Mar. 17th when Yahoo Screen will release two episodes, then one per week after that.

Though, the cast and creator “thinks” you should already know that by now.

What Has Happened to Comedy on Broadcast Networks? (Hint: Lots of Canceling)

It would be a little premature to say that there’s writing on the wall, but comedy definitely seems like it is playing second fiddle (or almost no fiddle at all) to hour long dramas at NBC, ABC, CBS, and Fox. Comedy is currently flourishing on cable and online and, perhaps, that is where episodic comedy, wholly, is headed.

This TV season alone, freshman comedies Selfie, A to Z, Manhattan Love Story, and Bad Judge have been canceled along with relative new comers The Millers.

Community, Arrested Development, and now The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which had a series order from NBC but didn’t even make it to air, have moved from TV networks to online streaming services.

Just yesterday, it was announced ABC also scrapped a sitcom they had already ordered to series, Members Only starring John Stamos.

Bloggers and John Mulaney alike keep talking about whether Mulaney will last on Fox. On top of all of that, there are rumors that NBC has halted production on Last Comic Standing after it already had brought it back from the dead.

We’re not saying broadcast networks have drawn a hard line on in the sand (yet) prohibiting comedy from their airwaves. Cristela, black-ish, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine have found success just starting out and the networks have a few comedy mainstays like Modern Family, The Big Bang Theory, and Two and Half Men. New Girl and The Mindy Project have also seemed to fared well in their tenure at Fox. Also, cable networks TBS and TNT have recently canceled Sullivan & Son and Franklin & Bash, respectively.

Still, this last couple of years have seen an unprecedented shift of the comedy genre as an aggregate on TV from going live on air to every household with a TV on a weeknight to niche cable networks and various online entities ranging anywhere from Netflix to YouTube to Amazon. Key & Peele, Louie, Portlandia, Veep, Transparent, and Children’s Hospital are all just a few perfect examples of this new paradigm.

The future for comedy on TV and the behemoths of television does have yet to be decided. The highly anticipated Last Man on Earth from Chris Miller and Phil Lord starring Will Forte is premiering next year. Networks, like CBS, are starting to get on board with their own streaming service.

What is clear in the current TV landscape, above all, is that the Internet isn’t going away and, because of that, viewers can watch whatever they want whenever they want to watch it. Thus, people will watch their favorite Key & Peele sketch as many as times as they can stand, binge watch The Simpsons via The Simpsons World app/site, consume as much media that exists online of their favorite comedians (i.e. web series, podcasts, stand-up clips, etc.), and do so at any time of any day in any place versus Thursdays at 8 at home,

In such an environment, it’s much harder than it used to be to launch a broad franchise sitcom that lasts 10 seasons and lives on in syndication, which has been the network TV model for comedy for decades. So, for now, as NBC chairman Bob Greenblatt poignantly remarked during Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’s move to Netflix, “…we have a very drama-heavy midseason schedule.”

“Community” Adds Paget Brewster and Keith David as Regulars for Season 6

November 10, 2014

community, keith david, paget brewster, season 6, yahoo

With Community’s return for a season 6 on Yahoo being only a couple of months away, there’s only more anticipation building over the series that has defied expectations at every turn.

On top of the miracle that was pulled off by making it to its sixth season (and hopefully a movie), Community has added two new cast members in Paget Brewster, who we’d hope you be familiar with from a guest role in Community as well as her regular role in The Thrilling Adventure Hour, and Keith David who has been in a vast myriad of things, but we’ll never forget for his disturbing role in Requiem For a Dream.

We’re into this additions especially since Yvette Nicole Brown has left Community.

In Order to Take Care of Her Father, Yvette Nicole Brown Has Gone From ‘Community’ to ‘The Odd Couple’ Reboot Full Time

October 5, 2014

Community is losing another one of its cast members as Yvette Nicole Brown announced earlier this week that she will be leaving the show in order to care of her father who has fallen ill.

Luckily, her fans won’t be left hanging as she has joined on to CBS’ reboot of The Odd Couple with Matthew Perry, beefing up their supporting cast.

Hopefully, she’ll drop by Greendale every now and again.

‘Community’ Season 6 Tentatively Starting at the End of January

In Dan Harmon’s latest appearance on the Nerdist podcast, he teased that Community might be making it season 6 premiere on Yahoo at the tail end of January.

While the date has yet to be made official, the sooner that Community returns, the better, and closer to #sixseasonsandamovie.

As Community Is Getting Its Sixth Season at Yahoo, You Might Want To Go To The Third Communicon

Defying all odds, Community got its sixth season at Yahoo after being cancelled at NBC and, accordingly, the Community fan organized convention known as CommuniCon is onto to its third edition at the last weekend in October. Panels, costumes, and more all happen plentifully and it has been something you shouldn’t miss if you’re even a casual fan of Community for its last two go arounds.

“The Batman Weekend Pass” has already sold out, so you should get the other passes that are still available while you still can.

Nat Faxon and Jim Rash Sign Two Year Overall Deal with Sony Pictures TV

Sony Pictures TV has gotten into the Nat Faxon and Jim Rash business by signing a two year deal to develop and produce TV series projects.

It’s about time Faxon and Rash had some sort of deal like this after proving their worth in features with Oscar winning The Descendants and The Way Way Back as well as currently being on FX’s Married and Community, respectively.

We’re curious to see what they come up with, possibly some promising dramedies, and where it might end up.

Community Probably Returning Sometime After Christmas

(via Entertainment Weekly)

Yesterday, there was a panel for Community at Comic Con and series creator Dan Harmon remarked that the return of the show would probably come after Christmas at their new home at Yahoo.

It might be a few months to wait, but we have a feeling that it will be worth given the fact that Harmon isn’t necessarily bound by 22 min. running time for a half hour sitcom or as stringent language/content restrictions.

Sony Wants There to Be a ‘Community’ Movie

Having pulled off getting a sixth season for Community right before the contract expiration deadline for the cast, Sony TV is aiming to make a movie and not be the ones to deny the #sixseasonsandamovie movement.

The talks are preliminary, but Community keeps defying the odds that, at this point, they could just make a movie about how the show made it this far.

Hulu Could Possibly Land a Show Written by Judd Apatow, Lesley Arfin, and Paul Rust Starring Gillian Jacobs

As far as Hulu’s original series go, this would be a great get. A pilot entitled Love, which is produced by Judd Apatow and co-written by Judd Apatow, Lesley Arfin, and Paul Rust might move forward with Gillian Jacobs as its star pending a few potential contractual and scheduling conflicts.

Basically, we’ll have to see what happens with Community to find out what happens with Love.

Sony Set on Finding a New Home for ‘Community’ as Hulu Abandons Talks

There’s a deadline at the end of this month for the contract expirations of the cast of Community. Knowing that Sony TV is still gunning to keep them around at some sort of online streaming service/content provider. Hulu reportedly isn’t going to be that home, but they say they have another place that they’re going for.

So, #sixseasonsandamovie is still alive?

Hulu Interested in Reviving ‘Community’

Hulu Interested in Reviving ‘Community’

Though it’s still far from actually happening, Hulu has been discussing the possibility of ordering new installments of the recently canceled series on NBC known as Community.

If this does happen, this would be pretty much record time for a series getting canceled and then brought back, especially in comparison to Arrested Development.

Even Though Community Got Cancelled, There Will Be a CommuniCon 3

Even Though Community Got Cancelled, There Will Be a CommuniCon 3

NBC axed Community last week and, while that’s sad to hear, the Community faithful are still pushing forward with their fan organized convention, CommuniCon, now in its 3rd year.

Set for Oct. 25th in the Embassy Suites in Glendale, CommuniCon 3 tickets have been on sale and are already going quite fast. Undoubtedly, this should be a pretty significant edition of this convention.
