Submitted by NickHC on October 31, 2014 - 12:07pmCHICAGO - Dan Harmon does not look very good in his documentary “Harmontown,” which is probably why he agreed to the project.

DVD Review: Frustrating Fourth Season of ‘Community’
Submitted by BrianTT on August 15, 2013 - 4:16pmCHICAGO – The fourth season of NBC’s “Community” was its most controversial by some margin. The program was barely renewed, its showrunner (Dan Harmon) was unprofessionally fired, and the on-set feuds with co-star Chevy Chase continued. To start the fifth season, Chase is gone and Harmon is back. No one has made out well in the court of public opinion and the fourth season was sometimes unwatchable. You would never know any of this from the recently-released DVD set.

DVD Review: Brilliant Second Season of NBC’s ‘Community’
Submitted by BrianTT on September 12, 2011 - 12:20pmCHICAGO – The program most unforgivably missing from Sunday’s Emmy telecast is NBC’s brilliant comedy “Community.” It’s almost as if the Academy decided there were too many NBC shows at the party (“The Office,” “Parks and Recreation,” “30 Rock”) and so left out arguably the best of the Thursday night bunch. See the second season, now available on DVD, and see the level of Emmy injustice for yourself.
