‘Community’ Season 6, Episode 13: “Emotional Consequences of Broadcast Television”
All good things must come to an end. That’s true of everything from jobs and friendships to Dan Harmon’s brilliant, bold, and aggressively bizarre cult hit. There are a dozen reasons why the sixth season of Community never gained the attention it deserved. For one thing, it lacked series regulars Chevy Chase, Yvette Nicole Brown, and Donald Glover. For another, it premiered on the now-defunct Yahoo Screen and marked the “official” finale of a series that was plagued by near-cancellations, out-of-order seasons, showrunner changes, and last-minute network shifts. Yet despite so many factors working against it, Community’s last episode hits every note you would hope for this wonderfully weird show. Don’t think of it as an ending. Think of it as a new beginning — #AndAMovie.
