http://www.avclub.com/articles/breaking-dan-harmon-out-as-showrunner-of-community,75385/

Community creator Dan Harmon will no longer serve as the series’ showrunner, The A.V. Club has learned from Sony Pictures Television, which produces the show. Taking his place are David Guarascio and Moses Port, who recently worked on ABC’s Happy Endings and ran Aliens In America, The CW’s 2007 coming-of-age sitcom. Harmon will remain a consulting producer.

Harmon’s place on Community had been undetermined since the show was renewed last week. Although showrunners typically sign two-year contracts at the start of a third season, Harmon’s deal was only for one, an unusual arrangement in the TV industry.

Considering Community lost a couple of producers earlier this month, don’t expect Harmon’s exit to be the last of the changes for the show. We’ll post more information as we get it.

No, I legitimately don't, but everytime I believe a source someone goes "blah blah, bad source" so I don't know what sites I should be trusting.

There's absolutely no need to ask if this is a good source when the production company is cited.

This is so disappointing.


I've been hoping all along that season 4 would get renewed so at least we could get to the end for the four year progam and perhaps end it there.



Now.... I doubt it will work out so well. Ugh this is the worst.



Sony and NBC just Britta'd it.

This is a very bad sign.

Aliens in America was seriously one of the worst sitcoms of the past decade. Just bloody awful.

NBC is beyond ridiculous. They take a show with a small but devoted fanbase, put it on Fridays to all but ensure it won't get any new viewers no matter what happens, and then let Sony (or demand it for all we know) fire the heavily involved showrunner to alienate the existing fans.

And not even contacting him before the press release is the single most dick move in the history of entertainment.

i'm pretty sure evil abed is from where this show is going.
in fact, the show really should just get 4 more episodes, and in all of them evil abed destroys community from within.

hey, at least ONE show needs to end with "Evil triumphs," and they already have the necessary character + plot device to do it.

NBC is a genius and is doing all of this as a sort of ARG to hype up the 4th season of Community, where Evil Abed is the main villain
