Actor exits can ruin a TV show if not handled well, like Steve Carell leaving The Office in season 7. Characters like Fiona Gallagher in Shameless were the backbone of their shows, leading to decline after their departure. Departures like Donald Glover in Community or Angus T. Jones in Two and a Half Men caused major impacts on the shows.
Losing a beloved TV show character was always tricky, but it was even more disappointing when an actor's decision to leave ruined their respective shows. Over the years, several TV shows have lost key cast members during their runs, whether that be because the character's storyline had come to a natural conclusion or their actor decided to step away for personal reasons or to focus on other projects. These departures were generally handled with grace and creativity, although there have been some TV exits that were totally out of character, such...

The live-action One-Punch Man script is getting rewritten by Rick and Morty creatives Dan Harmon and Heather Anne Campbell. The writers chosen for the adaptation have strong comedy backgrounds, which could match the original manga's style. Uncertainty surrounds the release date of the movie, but there's potential for success if it remains true to source material.
One-Punch Man's live-action adaptation has received a new update, revealing the script is getting a rewrite from the creator of Rick and Morty, alongside a writer from the animated comedy. The original manga created by One is a superhero comedy series about Saitama, a man who can defeat his enemies with a single punch. It was adapted into an anime beginning in 2015, with season 3 also confirmed. An American film adaptation was also revealed in 2020, though little has been revealed since its announcement.

Community is still a fan-favorite show, even though it’s been off the air for almost 10 years!
The comedy series – starring Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie, Donald Glover, Ken Jeong, Chevy Chase, and Jim Rash – ran on NBC for five seasons between 2009 and 2014 before the final season aired on Yahoo! Screen in 2015.
The show followed disbarred lawyer Jeff Winger, who enrolled in a local community college and formed a study group with fellow students, who eventually learn more about themselves than their course work.
Just recently, Donald shared a major update on the Community movie!
With the show back in the headlines, we’ve gathered all of the main cast members of Community, and ranked them from lowest to highest estimated net worth.

As we await the long-gestating “Community” movie, co-stars Joel McHale and Ken Jeong are back together again on Wednesday’s new episode of McHale’s Fox comedy “Animal Control.” It also marks the return of “Kensday,” as “Animal Control” airs right after “The Masked Singer,” in which Jeong is a panelist (and McHale has been a frequent guest over the seasons).
Variety has a first look at the duo in action from tonight’s episode, as Ken Jeong guest stars as Roman Park, “a reputable (and unhinged) dog trainer.” In the story, Emily (played by Vella Lovell) hires Park to help with the kennel dogs at the precinct, but he disrupts the office dynamics and competes with McHale’s character, Frank, for the role of “Alpha.”

The 21st century saw a massive shift in the development of half-hour comedies as networks became more willing to greenlight experimental programming that did not resemble the more formulaic sitcoms of the previous decade. While narratively straightforward, half-hour shows like Seinfeld and Friends dominated the ratings in the 1990s, the new century saw a rise in mockumentary-style comedies like The Office and Parks and Recreation, as well as multicam series like Curb Your Enthusiasm and Arrested Development; these programs subsequently reshaped the industry and led to a broader definition of what defines a “sitcom.” Although it didn’t achieve the same level of popularity upon its initial release, Dan Harmon’s NBC comedy Community earned a significant cult fandom and only became more popular upon its streaming debut. Although this availability has allowed the series to gain more viewers who missed it initially, Community’s pilot episode has been heavily...

“Animal Control” star Joel McHale is keeping the vermin off his “Community” movie set. McHale told The Post that Chevy Chase is not welcome back for the upcoming Peacock movie adaptation.
“I don’t think he’s allowed to [return],” McHale said. “I don’t think it would happen. I don’t think [him returning] is a thing. Obviously his unceremonious departure in Season 4 pretty much did that in.”
McHale added: “I’m guessing if you asked him, he wouldn’t be interested” in starring in the movie.
The “Community” movie is the culmination of Dan Harmon’s preordained six-seasons-and-a-movie destiny for his NBC sitcom. Chase was part of most of it, but was fired from the series in 2013 after allegedly using a racist slur against co-star Donald Glover and butting heads with series creator Harmon.

It's tough for TV shows to recover from bad storylines, but Community, Parks and Rec, and Friends managed to bounce back. Community's "gas leak year" and Friends' Joey/Rachel arc were disliked, but the shows course-corrected with new seasons. Always Sunny faced backlash over Dennis leaving, but the show brought him back while Stranger Things moved on from its lowest-rated episode.
It can be very difficult for a TV show to come back from an awful storyline, although there were a select few who managed to do just that. From misjudged romantic encounters to characters whose stories just weren’t working, an awful storyline can be the death of a great TV show, but luckily, creators, writers, and showrunners have occasionally spotted their mistakes and come back from the brink of disaster. It can be difficult to undo an awful storyline, but, when there was enough good faith from viewers,...

When Mr. & Mrs. Smith was announced as a TV series for Prime Video in 2021, there were plenty of reasons to be skeptical about the project.
It was based on a movie of the same name that did reasonably well but isn't especially well-remembered.
The announced starring duo of Donald Glover and Phoebe Waller-Bridge was intriguing, especially considering that both performers were credited as creators.
Both had a history of starring in and creating successful series, including Glover with Atlanta and Waller-Bridge with Fleabag. Plus, Waller-Bridge served as the showrunner in the first season of Killing Eve, another prestige series about an assassin.
But then Waller-Bridge dropped out of the project just a few months after it was announced due to "creative differences," with Maya Erskine replacing her as the show's female lead. Glover and Francesca Sloane are credited as the co-creators.
Beyond that, the series had its premiere delayed repeatedly,...

The 21st century saw the debut of many great comedy shows, proving that the traditional sitcom format was in dire need of reinvention. Compared to the standard “nuclear family” style programs of the 1980s and 1990s, the new century’s comedies pushed the boundaries with their content, broke traditional rules of formatting, and opened themselves up to more diverse creative perspectives. While programs like The Office and How I Met Your Mother became major hits that secured significant ratings and awards success, many of the best comedies of the era earned more niche followings. Although it never became “mainstream,” the comedy series Community stood out for its memorable characters, inventive storylines, and self-referential humor. While creator Dan Harmon has teased the possibility of a continuation that would unite the original cast, Community is best left alone without a feature film spinoff.

Abbott Elementary subverted sitcom tropes with Principal Ava subplot in season 3, episode 8. The show's humor focuses on character interplay, not self-referential or TV convention parody. The mockumentary format adds classic sitcom feel to Abbott Elementary while staying contemporary.
Warning! This article contains Spoilers for Abbott Elementary season 3, episode 8
While Abbott Elementary season 3 has leaned into many sitcom tropes, the mockumentary also subverted one of the biggest with episode 8’s Principal Ava subplot. Abbott Elementary isn’t a self-aware meta-sitcom like 30 Rock or Community, where every episode mocks the tropes of ordinary sitcoms. Instead, Abbott Elementary is a mockumentary workplace sitcom that follows the lives of a group of mismatched co-workers. Like Superstore or Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Abbott Elementary mines most of its humor from its characters and their interplay. The show’s humor is rarely self-referential or focused on parodying TV conventions.

Once any story hits the internet, it doesn’t just belong to the people who made it; fan art, fiction, edits, music, tattoos, and all sorts of reinterpretation follow, to say nothing of the barrage of reboots and remakes the corporations running the entertainment world are so enamored of. But there’s something interesting that happens, from both an artistic and an audience perspective, when much loved characters get transposed into a medium where their range of expression and even their physicality is different.

While the live-action Marvel Universe is dominated by the Avengers, Marvel comics have had a different character hierarchy. The entire multiverse seemed to revolve around the stories of the X-Men as a whole and while the Avengers were important, they simply weren’t as significant as the mutants. They were the reason for the success of the franchise and the culturally significant impact it has had over decades.
X-Men (2000)
It would seem, that effect does not get brushed past by anyone, as the showrunner of X-Men ’97 revealed an interesting theory he has about the live-action universe that Marvel has created. One that suggests that none of the MCU projects, Sam Rami’s Spider-Man films, and even DC projects would have been successful or existed had it not been for one animated Marvel show.

The final scenes of sitcoms hold a significant impact in leaving lasting impressions on audiences as beloved characters say goodbye. Highlights from series like Arrested Development, Community, and The Big Bang Theory showcase memorable and fitting closing moments. The final scenes of iconic sitcoms like Jane The Virgin, Friends, and The Office perfectly wrap up long-running storylines with emotional and humorous touches.
Warning: This article discusses the use of drugs.
In the world of binge-worthy sitcoms, the very final scene of a show reflects upon its past and wraps it up as a whole, often making reference to the first episode or a season arc. The finale of any TV show faces a lot of expectations, let alone the last scene, as it not only sets a tone for the show overall but also should leave audiences feeling content with the show's ending, regardless of whether they want it to finish.

When it was announced in September of 2022 that a Community movie was really happening, the news felt both improbable and inevitable. Improbable because what was NBC-Universal doing pumping more money into a comedy that was ratings-challenged from the moment it premiered during the fall semester TV season of 2009? And inevitable because said comedy had managed to survive for six whole seasons and weather seismic changes behind the scenes, persevering on the strength of great reviews, a loyal if hardly huge fanbase, and the self-fulfilling prophecy of a hashtag. Community was never a big hit. But somehow, it cheated Nielsen destiny and became a great show not canceled before its time. It willed #SixSeasonsAndAMovie into a reality.

Throughout its six season run, "Community" encountered a genuinely impressive set of challenges. First of all, series creator, Dan Harmon, was kicked off his own show, which considering his behavior wasn't all that shocking. An admitted heavy drinker, Harmon also became notorious for what The Hollywood Reporter referred to as his "eleventh-hour rewrites, or 'Harmon passes,'" which he would foist upon the cast and crew during filming. Harmon also fell out with star Chevy Chase, and the show was known for its long shooting days and erratic schedule. No wonder Alison Brie described the "Community" set as "frantic, frenetic, chaotic"
Then, there was the constant threat of cancellation, which loomed over "Community" until the show was actually canceled by NBC after its fifth season. Yahoo's then-new streaming service, Yahoo! Screen, picked up the show for its sixth and final season that seemed destined to fail. And fail it did.

Actor Joel McHale reflected on an altercation he had with his fellow Community co-star Chevy Chase that occurred on the set.
McHale, known for his main character role as Jeff Winger on the TV series, has been candid about disagreements that reportedly transpired between himself and Chase, who played the controversial offensive character Pierce Hawthorne. McHale even dedicated a chapter of his 2016 memoir, Thanks for the Money, to a “step-by-step on how to fight Chevy Chase.”
The topic arose in the podcast conversation when McHale highlighted his willingness to address the conflicts that arose with Chase while they were on the show. When asked about the nature of the incidents, McHale revealed that physical altercations did occur, with instances where one shoved or pushed the other. McHale described the confrontations as “advanced horseplay,” and humorously remarked, “You know, horseplay, and then it always turned into sex. It wasn’t fun.

Dan Harmon has established a pretty neat little entertainment empire, creating the beloved cult hit "Community" before co-creating "Rick and Morty" and overseeing Apple TV+'s "Strange Planet" and Fox's "Krapopolis." But it's been a rocky road to success for Harmon, who was previously kicked off his own show before being rehired, and in 2018 had to publicly apologize for his prior mistreatment of "Community" writer Megan Ganz — and those are just a couple of examples of the man's controversies. Despite these debacles, however, Harmon has been an entertainment mainstay for well over a decade at this point, and during that time he's not only managed to create several of his own successful shows, but he's also apparently been fairly influential in perhaps the biggest Hollywood success story of the modern era: the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Although “Community” has remained a cult favorite show since its 2009 debut, Chevy Chase, one of the series’ stars, has been very vocal that he didn’t enjoy making it. Similarly, fellow cast member Joel McHale hasn’t been afraid to slam Chase in the press. Yet their on-set feud turned physical too, with one ending when McHale injured the veteran comedian.
McHale was a guest on a recent episode of Michael Rosenbaum’s “Inside of You” podcast, where he described a section of his 2016 memoir “Thanks for the Money” which included a “step by step on how to fight Chevy Chase.”
When Rosenbaum asked if their on-set altercations were verbal or physical, McHale confirmed there were multiple physical incidents.
“It was an advanced horseplay,” he said, joking, “You know, horseplay, and then it always turned into sex.”
From there, he described the reality of the situation, saying, “It would get a little contentious.

Drama plagued Chevy Chase's time on Community, with his clashes with Dan Harmon leading to Harmon's firing. Chase's departure was abrupt, with his character Pierce being killed off to give Troy a proper exit. Despite rumors of a Community movie, Chase's involvement remains uncertain as most of the original cast is set to return.
After starring as Pierce Hawthorne since the show's beginning, Chevy Chase left Community in season 4, and his exit was notoriously not on good terms. Chevy Chase's Community character, Pierce, was a longtime student at Greendale Community College and the most antagonistic member of the core study group thanks to his offensive comments and malicious behavior. Chase, a Saturday Night Live veteran, was the biggest name in the cast, but his time on the show saw several issues. While he was not the only member of the original cast to leave the show, Chase...

Six seasons and a movie -- it's finally happening!
A Community movie is apparently in the works, with star Joel McHale stating the film will begin shooting in 2024.
It's been nine years since we last saw our favorite Greendale Human Beings, and we have a lot of questions about the upcoming film. Here's everything we know so far about the Community movie.
Community Movie Release Date
There has been a lot of back and forth about whether a Community movie would ever be made. With the famous "six seasons and a movie" line from the show, fans have long held out hope.
In September 2022, Peacock ordered a Community movie. However, series creator Dan Harmon later expressed concern that the movie wouldn't happen at all despite being "nearly done" with the script.
In January 2023, Joel McHale said the movie would be filming that summer, but production was canceled due to the actor and writer strikes.

Just recently, Donald shared a major update on the Community movie!
With the show back in the headlines, we’ve gathered all of the main cast members of Community, and ranked them from lowest to highest estimated net worth.

Netflix, a top streaming service, produces diverse TV content, but quality can sometimes be sacrificed for quantity. Shows like "Champions," "Community," "Hoarders," and "Man Like Mobeen" are leaving Netflix soon, so catch them now. From canceled gym owner comedies to hoarding documentaries to British comedies, there's something for everyone on Netflix.
For years, Netflix has been one of the most popular streaming services, offering viewers tons of new content every month. Of course, Netflix has more competition than ever, as new streaming services debut every year and Disney+ and Prime Video continue to gain subscribers.
It's no wonder that Netflix has established itself as a go-to destination for most TV fans, offering diverse content ranging from teen love stories to thrillers. While many streaming services are actively producing TV shows regularly, Netflix does it in large numbers, occasionally sacrificing quality in the process.

Following a study group of college students at Greendale Community College, Community is well on its way to becoming a movie after six glorious seasons, just as Abed (Danny Pudi) predicted. Community was only popular with a small group of fans, but now, 15 years after its pilot, the show has seen its small fanbase convert into a cult, with more viewers chiming in to follow the series. The show's popularity ‒ both by means of its availability on multiple streaming platforms and the memes created by the online fanbase, has helped the show finally come back with And A Movie despite its cancelation.
