All Hail the Greendale Seven!

by Everything Else • Tags: , , , , , , ,

I usually don’t pay much attention to television or new movies. I watch most of my shows a few weeks after the fact on Hulu and am generally satisfied to wait for films to come out on Netflix.

This is not the case with Community. Why, you ask? Namely because it’s the best half-hour of television I’ve ever seen.

But Firefly’s premature cancellation isn’t stopping fans (Abed and Troy of Community included) from doing everything they can to get Firefly back on the air.

As a realist, it’s hard for me to believe that the show could ever come back, at least not with the full cast and crew that made it so amazing. But I have to admit, the dedication of Firefly’s fans is extremely impressive. Continue reading →
