May 30, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Will Community Season 5 be a season of renewal? Fan reaction to Season 4 of the cult comedy was mixed and fervent, with many saying that the show about a group of misfits at a community college just wasn’t the same without the input of creator Dan Harmon.

But as Community is rumored to be returning for a final 13-episode run in next […]

May 29, 2013 Channel Guide Contributor
