Kevin Fitzpatrick — Mon, 13 May 2013 00:48:21 +0000

We'd be hard pressed to say who had the most brutal of cancellations and fruitful pickups between the five major networks this weekend, but few would offer that NBC had any undeserved ends. Even so, the peacock has become the first among the five to set its major schedule, moving 'Revolution' and 'Parenthood' to new nights, scheduling Jonathan Rhys-Meyers 'Dracula' for fall and moving 'Community' and more to midseason!

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 16:46:56 +0000

'Community' has long been revered for its out-there genre episodes, though the current season under showrunner David Guarascio and Moses Port has played it somewhat safe across the first half.

Last night's all-new 'Community' episode "Herstory of Dance" ran the gamut among critics, but in most cases offered up one of the better, and more evenly balanced episodes of season. Curiously however, its ending tag didn't add anything to the episode itself, but rather gave a preview to next week's puppet-centric "Intro to Felt Surrogacy." We didn't think anything of it at the time, but how would you like to see the episode's alternate ending?

Uh-oh, do we detect a bit of Chang in the wind?
