Comments on: Community is renewed, so why am I not flipping-out happy? https://cliqueclack.com/p/community-renewed-season-5/ Big voices. Little censors. Fri, 10 Apr 2015 14:43:24 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.1 By: S https://cliqueclack.com/p/community-renewed-season-5/#comment-38352 Fri, 24 May 2013 14:48:56 +0000 https://cliqueclack.com/p/?p=9537#comment-38352 Could not disagree more. I was so pleasantly surprised that the writers were able to keep up the same voice, feel and tone of the series, even with Harmon gone. I thought it was a seamless transfer. And those end-of-episode morals you’re talking about? They’ve always been there! It’s been a device of the series for a long, long time — not something new to season 4. I’m thrilled the show has been renewed and that the writers get to continue writing inventive, hilarious scripts for such fantastic characters (except maybe Pearce — he’s the only one I’ve never cared about). Have there been some episodes less funny than others? Sure. It’s been that way every season. But for the most part, in my opinion these are the most stellar creative writers in sitcom television. “Community” remains the only sitcom on TV that consistently makes me laugh out loud.

Indeed, the last two episodes of the season were wall to wall call-backs to its once self-evident greatness.

(I blather about this further in my own write up for the season here: https://drayfish.wordpress.com/2013/05/11/and-you-were-there-and-you-were-there-the-dream-of-community-season-four/)
