NBC rounded off season 3 of their best sitcom with a triple bill, ‘Digital Estate Planning’, ‘The First Chang Dynasty’ and ‘Introduction to Finality’. The final episode was bittersweet as it was intended to be the show finale if the show hadn’t been picked up for season 4. Luckily NBC has decided to pick up an abbreviated fourth season comprising of 13 episodes (with room to pick up more episodes if the ratings improve), however the episode remained bittersweet at the news that creator and showrunner Dan Harmon had been fired by Sony. It’s a stupid, dumb, stupid-ass decision that will affect the quality of the writing. Harmon was the heart and soul of the show, it’s like firing Vince Gilligan from Breaking Bad or telling God that he’s not allowed to walk on that patch of grass.

Community 3.18 "Course Listing Unavailable" Recap
All hail the return of the Changlorious Bastards! Yes, I say “return” even though we really haven’t seen anything concerning Chang’s army since “Contemporary Impressionists” (apparently they’ve all been locked in some random room preparing for their big slaughter.) Is this the beginning of the big take-over that was teased at the beginning of the season? With only two weeks of episodes left, it seems time will tell…
We begin with a goodbye video from Star-Burns, who verbally leaves most of his will as Abed, Annie and Troy watch (apparently Star-Burns has tasked Abed with creating a video tribute.) Later at school, Annie wants to know how long the group is going to avoid talking about "what happened." Jeff is, not surprisingly, indifferent about the situation and Annie calls him out for having no respect. Britta takes the time to offer her...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
All the tedious romantic plots and sentiment are put on the back burner this week as Community delves straight back into another concept episode, the highly anticipated ‘Law & Order’ parody, in which the study group investigate who it was that sabotaged their biology assignment. It truly was Community at its best, showcasing as many minor characters as it could squeeze in and it will stand out as one of the strongest episodes of the season. Not to mention an appearance by ‘90’s action movies’ royalty, Michael Ironside.
The entire episode stuck within the framework of a generic ‘Law & Order’ episode, down to the sound effects, opening titles and even a twist ending, as well as using pretty much all the cliché’s in every other police procedural going. The episode opened with the two janitors finding the bloodied corpse a squashed yam (sweet potato) in the...
