He’ll stay on as a consulting producer, but we’re still not sure what timeline this is.
Okay.
They probably only signed him to a 1 yr deal because everyone thought s3 was the last one, which it almost was.
But, I don’t think it’s all bad. If most of the writing staff sticks around and the cast is their normal amazingness, it could be all right. And he’s still gonna consult, so that’s good.
Anyway, at least Dan went out with the most beautiful half hour of tv I’ve ever watched.
This blows my mind. Two of my favorite people coming together. I can’t get over it!
CAPTAIN HAIR LIKES COMMUNITY AND YOU SHOULD TOO
2x14 Advanced Dungeons and Dragons DVD Commentary
Dan Harmon: What’s amazing about it, not to blow my own show or anything, but what I love about this, is that our character, our douchiest character, who’s our protagonist, our most hair gelled, most buff, most stylish character, who is the most wise guy on a ship of fools, the closest to David Spade that we have on our show, starts from the base of caring about human life and not wanting blood on his hands. Even the character who is defined by his solipsism has that much compassion. Like, knows that you’re supposed to save human lives. You’re not supposed to let people kill themselves for being fat. Then we find out that he’s riddled with flaws. That [Jeff], in fact, is the reason that [he] alone cannot solve this problem and stuff. And that’s the twist. But we start the episode not with people going, “Oh, he’s fat. This is Dungeons and Dragons. I don’t like it.” And then finding out, “This isn’t so bad after all.” It just starts with, “Okay, let’s save this guy’s life, right? Because that’s what you do.”
I watched this again today. I honestly think that no other comedy show could pull something like this off. It was nothing short of brilliant, hilarious, touching, and a host of other adjectives I cannot produce at this moment.
