Community starts third season tonight

I'd bet Ernest Borgnine is on your bucket list too.

Already scratched off.

[Kitschum]

It's good but you guys are way overinvolved in a stupid show that nobody watches. I liked the recent one where there were different timelines.

[Tupac Shakur]

I'm relatively sure Community is destined to go the way of Cougar Town after this season.

Yeah, as if that big and slightly right-pointing nose, the barely-visible-but-still-there facial hair, that haricose vein on her thigh, that wart on her calf, those so-sickly-pale-that-they-have-to-airbrush-out-the-visible-blood-vessels legs, and those man hands add up to anything better than you can pick up for $20 a block off the Vegas strip. I'd bet Ernest Borgnine is on your bucket lists too.

Wow, you have really studied her. Maybe you like her more than you think.

No commentary on last week's episode? Amazing stuff.

Chevy Chase slams "Community" in new rant

(CBS News) The behind-the-scenes drama at "Community" continues.

A week after series creator Dan Harmon apologized for making an angry voicemail from cast member Chevy Chase public, their feud is making waves again because of a new leaked recording.

In the audio, obtained by Celebuzz, Chase calls the show a "f---ing mediocre sitcom."

"I want people to laugh and this isn't funny," he continued. "It ain't funny to me because I'm 67-years-old and I've been doing this a long time. I've been making a lot of people laugh - a lot better than this."

According to the website, the message is purportedly from March 2011, during the show's second season, and Harmon is playing it for production executives.

Chase expressed frustration in the recording over editorial decisions made on the show, complaining that his material was cut short in favor of romantic storylines.

"Obviously, you don't get my humor at all," he told Harmon. "Or what it is I do that's funny, that actually makes people laugh."

"I think your writing is great. I think everything you do is great," Chase continued. "But the real problem is, Dan, that you're not there when we shoot and you're not there when they edit so you don't even know what you have. You've got to give me some range."

A spokesman for Chase told Celebuzz that the voicemail was from a year ago and would not comment on it.

Tensions between the actor and Harmon first became public when Harmon played a profanity-filled voicemail from the actor. He later apologized for leaking the message.

"I made the horrible, childish, self-obsessed, unaware, naive and unprofessional decision to play someone's voicemail to me," Harmon wrote on his blog last week. "That was a dumb, unclassy, inconsiderate move on my part. I'm very sorry it's reflecting poorly on the show."

NBC has not yet said whether it will bring "Community" back for a fourth season.

...if this is from over a year ago, what's the point in releasing it now?

All this crap is just making it less likely the show gets another season

[Tupac Shakur]

Are you kidding? This is generating publicity and will attract people interested to see if any of the Harmon/Chase tension bleeds over into the show, thus making a fourth season more likely.
