TV Land pulls okay ratings for cable, depending on the show, but it really is just a "oh thank God I can still get work" graveyard for a lot of people that used to be on much better shows. That and, as far as I can tell, their shows aren't on any streaming service anywhere, so almost nobody knows they exist. That said, that's a far cry from Glover landing a deal to make his own Louie vanity project for FX. If it ever finishes and airs, at least.

TV Land is giving Jim Gaffigan a show, so these two shows are enough to get me to give them a chance now.

Steve Vader posted:Alison Brie is going to star in and executive produce a show on TV Land about elementary school teachers. It features Key & Peele showrunners and a Chicago improv group called The Katydids because everybody in the group is named some form of Kate. I don't see anything saying Brie will star. All the articles I see just say that she will EP.

Rewatched Remedial Chaos Theory. I bet Shirley's pies burned in the real timeline too because she got distracted dancing to Roxanne. edit: lets talk about this and not whatever just happened up there.

Remedial Chaos Theory is just an excellent example of really well written and plotted television. It also helps that it gives me flashbacks to one of my favorite Star Trek TNG episodes, Cause and Effect.

Oh yeah it's also insanely well-structured and one of the funniest episodes ever. Troy coming back to all the chaos with the troll in the middle is one of the best gags they ever did.

It's a tough call, but Remedial Chaos Theory may be the best episode of Community. "Roxane" is one of my wife's favorite songs and I cut her off every time she sings along to it with a "No".

Does anyone have any info about Dan Harmon's obsession with story structure, and what his 4-season plan would have been if he hadn't been removed? I'm thinking of that four-quadranted circle that keeps coming up, like in the third season Christmas episode and on background whiteboards in various DVD special features.

Doesn't the clock in Troy and Abed's rap in the Glee episode point to where they are on that circle too? Bown posted:Rewatched Remedial Chaos Theory.

Yeah, but she can't blame them for it because she was there and she was having a good time, so all's well that ends well, I guess. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Jun 18, 2015 |

I'm thinking of that four-quadranted circle that keeps coming up, like in the third season Christmas episode and on background whiteboards in various DVD special features. You can follow his full explanation starting here http://channel101.wikia.com/wiki/Story_Structure_101:_Super_Basic_Shit Basically everything he writes is structured around this circle 
Every character walks 4 paths (even numbers) through 4 points (odd numbers), and ends up back in some kind of comfort zone (not necessarily the same one they started in) ready to make another lap.

Okay. So given the fact that he used those four quadrants in that clock thing, how does each season relate to each quadrant?

Season one represents when they're still attached to their old, lacking lives but discovering that they need something more than what they used to have, season two is the true crazy of Greendale showing itself and them adapting and getting sucked in, season three is them having discovered a sense of fulfillment as a result of their new friendships but then paying the psychological price for the insanity that is the school (the dark year), and season 4 would have been them emerging out the other side into real life having been changed for the better by it. There's probably a more detailed breakdown of how it all fits together, and I'll bet you could do one for each character's individual journey, but I'm not Dan Harmon.

On the topic of the Harmon Story Structure, I wonder if the "return to the familiar" in season 4 would've entailed all the characters going back to where they were before Greendale, like Jeff becoming a lawyer again, but having more scruples and an ability to connect with other people.

Why not just ask Harmon on Twitter when he turns it back on? It's not like the dude is shy about sharing his opinions.

It's a lot like seasons 5 and 6 really, but fans just give it a bad rap because Dan was ousted from the show. There's some good episodes in there.

The Harmon seasons were always slightly antagonistic toward the audience, whereas Season 4 was weirdly trying to be your buddy for some reason.

I remember that during season 3 he talked about making an effort to show them away from campus more, so that they could eventually transition to life outside of school and have that seem natural. I always thought it was a bit odd that he didn't try that out instead of doubling down on Greendale being the setting in season 5.
