Because Community frequently had fun with circumventing the confines of a 30-minute comedy, we’re tickled just thinking of the ways Dan Harmon and his crew could reinvent a TV-to-Movies adaptation.
You could tell me that the Community movie would be a period romance in line with a Jane Austen novel, and I’d say, “Sure, I can see that.”
There were benchmark ideas that surfaced each season (an escalating Nerf war being one of them), but a movie could really break ground in ways this already groundbreaking sitcom hadn’t tried.
Danny Pudi’s comments to EW are encouraging for Community fans who have to be amazed at the ensemble’s ability to maintain interest in the show — which followed a loose structure and was episodic, but still connected dots on a storyline that easily could be picked up.
