Helmed by Justin Roiland (who also voices both main characters) and Community messiah Dan Harmon, Rick & Morty’s zero-fucks-given absurd humour…

Community is back to its comedic roots, but not without some key losses along the way. Last season, we lost Pierce (Chevy Chase) and this season, Pierce died and took his former roommate Troy (Donald Glover) with him. Not literally with him since Troy’s till alive and all, but Pierce’s will offered him an opportunity […]

When an actor leaves a long-running TV series before its natural conclusion, it’s generally not a good thing. Sure, there are some series so long-lived that turnover is not only inevitable but necessary (while it’s key that Grey’s Anatomy has held on to McDreamy, where would we be if George never left and Jackson never […]

Last night’s installment of the close-to-cancellation cult sitcom Community was the first in quite some time that reminded me why this show deserves another season. Community was once a groundbreaking show, the most innovative and cleverly constructed on network TV. But with the exception of a few highlight episodes (the Taran Killam-guesting Christmas episode, for […]
