re: Community going to Netflix April 1st

Watching the 8-bit episode. Didn’t realize how messed up the production was. Clearly should’ve been aired earlier in the season, it sticks out weirdly in the middle of the Uber dramatic chang story


Also this happened. Which is why I say the pierce thing was on Chase and on Harmon

quote:

---

He refused to do the "tag" for the Digital Estate Planning episode (the 8 bit video game episode). In the scripted tag, Abed comes to Pierce with the thumb drive he took, and says "Pierce, I've been able to adjust some of the code for your Dad's video game and I've made a version I think you might like better." He puts the thumb drive into a laptop in front of Pierce. We cut to the laptop screen, where we see Pierce's avatar on a front lawn with the giant floating head of Cornelius. Every time Pierce presses the space bar, his avatar throws a baseball to his father's head, which gives him a thousand points and a "great job, son!" Pierce presses the space bar a few times, pauses, then leans over and embraces Abed and we fade to black. When Adam Countee pitched that tag, tears instantly rolled down my cheeks, and in point of fact, my eyes are getting watery describing it to you. It was the most important part of the episode and possibly one of the most important moments of the season. I was very upset to hear that it wasn't shot because someone didn't feel like shooting it, especially since it was literally the last day of shooting, which meant we'd never be able to pick it up. I regret nothing about how upset I got. My job was to care about my show.

To further point out how bad the season 4 writers were

They got Britta and Troy together in the season premier and seemingly forgot about it a couple episodes in and spent most of the season having Britta and Jeff splitting off and having more “couple” moments than Troy and Britta ever did besides a hand ful of thrown in scenes

That end of season 3 arc with Chang running the school is my favorite string of episodes in the series.

S2E14 - Advanced Dungeons and Dragons - another weird detour from sitcom normalcy. A great example episode for anyone wondering why the show didn't get a wider following on network TV. Brilliant episode.


watching this episode now.

I don’t disagree with that, at all. But Curriculum Unavailable doesn’t even have him in it, for instance.

I feel like the quality began to suffer simply because Chevy Chase was there. He should've been fired after season 2. With all the drama, I wonder why they kept him around?

Spoken like the new Pierce.

I never got all the way into the show. I have seen a few episodes here and there and I thought it was a really funny show. But its really hard to get into a show just watching reruns when it airs on regular tv(On Demand and streaming sites has me extremely spoiled) I honestly never heard of the show until a couple of years ago. And really that's only because I'm a fan of Gambino/Donald Glover.

I will add that this being added to Netflix is a gamechanger. I can't wait to really fully get into the show now.

This was an amazing scene.
