Just how obsessively geeky is NBC's recently shelved sitcom, Community? So much so that they have been sneakily incorporating the name "Beetlejuice" into the script, once per season, for three seasons. And you know what happens when you say "Beetlejuice" three times, don't you? Believe it.
NBC, the abandoned shopping mall of a television network, announced its mid-season schedule today, and while a bunch of shows got moved around, it seems like fan favorite Community got moved right off the schedule.
Once a movie actress, she's now doing TV. Also today: Americans can't make anything original, French Stewart has been located, and How to Be a Gentleman has been put out to stud.
Everyone is flipping out about this damn hurricane that's going to batter the East Coast either tomorrow or Sunday. Have you evacuated? If so, where are you headed? If not, what are you gonna do? Let us know.
There aren't too many things that offend us here at Gawker, so when something does offend us, it's pretty serious. This week we're banning someone who dared to use the F-word. No, not "fuck." The other F-word.
There are so many new things here on Gawker these days that we thought it would be fun to bring back one of our older, time-honored features: commenter executions. That's right, we will be publicly and bloodily banning commenters who misbehave.
Everyone's favorite lawyer show has been renewed for a second season. Cue champagne! Also today: John Goodman will make you laugh, Mimi Leder will make you cry, and Haley Reinhart will make you...dance?
Since 1997, immigrants hailing from North Africa and the Middle East have met at a Starbucks in Falls Church, Virginia to mix, mingle, and help each other adjust to This American Life. In late June, however, the outdoor tables and chairs where they've liked to hang all disappeared.
After Donald Glover did a show at his college this super fan was lucky enough to meet him as well as voice Abed's part of 'La Biblioteca' with Donald beat boxing right along with him.
Last night HBO's star-studded pedigree mini-series Mildred Pierce lit up TV screens across America, not because that many people wanted to see a warmed-over Depression-era rags-to-riches story, but because the culture created some need in us to watch it. Enough already.
For Abed's birthday, Jeff went above and beyond his normal "detached, cool guy" demeanor and planned a surprise birthday party for Abed. But it wasn't just any birthday party. Because Abed idolizes Quentin Tarantino, it was a Pulp Fiction surprise party.
On last night's Community, Shirley enlisted the help of Jeff to get Chang to hand over his parental rights to his maybe-baby—but ended up inspiring him to become an adult instead. It doesn't quite work out.
Vice President Joe Biden is making a tour of the local community college campuses and is set to meet with the Dean and the student body president. One problem: Greendale has no student body president. Quick, to the make-shift elections!
Last week, Pierce overdosed on pills and now he's in the hospital—planning his revenge. He calls for the study group to visit him on his "death bed," even though he's doing just fine.
It was a strange Valentine's Day at Greendale Community College. Troy and Abed fell in love with theme librarian and when she picked Troy (and then called Abed "weird") it was over. Nobody interrupts Troy and Abed's bromance.
The study group played a game of Dungeons and Dragons to pull a fellow student out of a deep depression. This part of the quest alone should have at least put a smile on his face.
Today at Gawker.TV, Stephen Colbert investigates Taco Bell's meat, Community puts on an anti-drug play, the return of Archer, Pawnee gets the flu on Parks & Rec, and Michael Scott and David Brent meet on The Office.
Annie has convinced the study group to become the Greendale Anti-Drug players and they'll be putting on a play for 50 middle-schoolers. The play couldn't have gone worse if they tried, and culminated with the kids chanting "we love drugs!"
Today at Gawker.TV, NBC's Perfect Couples turns out to be not-so-perfect, Ryan Gosling serenades with a ukulele, the triumphant return of Parks and Recreation, and we discover that Good Day New York's Greg Kelly is a closeted RuPaul fan.
The gang is back for a brand-new semester at school. The new developments? Annie's sweet on a good guy and wants him in the group. Shirley's ex-husband is back in the picture but she might be pregnant with Chang's baby!
