Dan Harmon Admits He Sorta Gave Up on 'Community' During Season 3 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 07-11-2012, 12:26 AM

As it became clear that Community wouldn't reach the broad audience Harmon may have thought it would attract, he said "in the third season, you can see me start to go, 'Nevermind, just give me a good review in the Times.' " Harmon later added that you could see him "farting around" (i.e. paintball episode) when he thought the show wouldn't last.

When asked how he would've done things different to, as Maron put it "make a better hamburger," Harmon wasn't quite sure how he'd approach season one or two but offered a lesson he learned during his Channel 101 days. "Good TV should be like crack in that every rock gets the job done," he shared.

It's on NBC and it is still on the air. It just got renewed for a 4th season, but he (Dan Harmon) was fired. It will air on Fridays this fall.

the paintball episode(s) were good - definitely weird, but good.
