He has a lot of cool gadgets, and a lot of stuff explodes. Now, you get to pay for the long version. We need that awareness of the show, for a huge section of viewers who are older people, mainly. They have no idea what the show is. If you guys get a Season 4, would you want to do anything to give a nod to the fans? JACOBS: We did the PaleyFest last week and people flew in from Canada and Chicago and all over, and they paid money to come see us, plus air fare and hotel rooms, to watch us just goof around on stage.
Do you have any idea of how critical this group of shows is to getting another season? I would assume that we have to perform decently. But, that all said, the jury is always out. What do you think about that and the affect of that on ratings? I know that the Nielsens are changing as well.
If they can figure out how to monetize that, then I think it will be helpful for us. Judging from the fan response, I think there are some fans that are going to have a human sacrifice on Thursday.
It features an unknown Kellan Lutz, as one of the younger actors on the show. If any Twilight fans are reading this, check it out. They did eight episodes. Maybe I would want Boobatron, the robot. Christina Radish is a Senior Reporter at Collider. Having worked at Collider for over a decade since , her primary focus is on film and television interviews with talent both in front of and behind the camera. She is a theme park fanatic, which has lead to covering various land and ride openings, and a huge music fan, for which she judges life by the time before Pearl Jam and the time after.
Community continues its return from hiatus tonight and all eyes will be on the ratings to see if this quirky little show can sustain its numbers from last week. In case you are unfamiliar with the show, it is a baffling masterpiece of network comedy set in a fictional community college named Greendale. It follows a study group populated by misfits who have come to Greendale for different reasons at different stages of life and each with his or her own brand of dysfunction.
When NBC pulled the show from its Thursday night comedy block in order to make room for the return of 30 Rock , Community fans went apoplectic and nearly set the internet on fire. A few flash mobs and a flurry of tweets and re-tweets later, the show returned to the air with numbers which, for NBC, were huge.
Full disclosure: Community is easily one of my favorite shows. I love comedy, hate laugh tracks, and marvel at post-postmodern genre-pushing meta-humour. Why this episode failed to get nominated for a major award baffles me. It really felt like they had some business to clear up before moving forward. Shirley [Spoiler Alert] needed to get married and Pierce needed to drop the Hawthorne Wipes schtick before it got old.
So how does a smart comedy like Community , which features none of those things, get constantly overlooked so often? What makes the NBC comedy so great is that week after week it features lines, jokes and situations that not only make the audience howl with laughter, but make your jaw drop in awe at the creativity and wit of the writers not to mention every episode is densely layered, which makes each one infinitely rewatchable.
And yet all of them get big numbers and, more than likely, plenty of crossover. Community is, without question, my favorite show on television. I have watched it every week since the pilot, own the first two seasons on DVD, been invited to the set twice, talked with the stars on numerous occasions, and even reviewed a couple of episodes.
