A Great Return to Form
As any fan of Community knows season 4 was the first, and thankfully only, season without the mad genius, Dan Harmon. While season 4 had some good moments, it did not have the consistent excellence that previous seasons possessed. Season 5 saw the triumphant, and rather unprecedented return of Dan Harmon as showrunner, and with him the high level of quality that is expected of the show. What makes Dan Harmon so great is his ability to piece together the various elements of the show into a coherent and effective bit of storytelling. From the meta-humor to the heartfelt moments, no one else seemed to weave together the strands of Community as well as Dan Harmon. Aside from Dan Harmon, this season saw excellent performances from the regular cast, minus Chevy Chase, as well as newcomer Jonathan Banks, and the also returning John Oliver. As far as extras are concerned, there is one standout that must be noted. The behind the scenes documentary, Advanced Television Production, provides an especially enlightening look into just how vital Dan Harmon is to the creation of the show. All in all, this is a great package for Community fans, and now lets look forward to season 6 and the movie.

Great series for a lovers of comedy!
If you have been living in a hole or haven't touched a computer with internet, then you probably haven't seen or heard of Community and it's inability to stay dead after multiple attempts by it's former network NBC. The 5th season is a the return of original show runner and creator, Dan Harmon and it certainly undoes a lot of what the writers did to the show in season 4 during Harmon's absence. If you're looking for a new comedy to watch that is unique to it's own in years and certainly doesn't mind winking at itself, Community is the show for you!

Season Five gets the show back on track
Blame it on the gas leak... The fourth season of Community was tolerable based on the quality of the actors on the show, but the vision was lost without show runner Dan Harmon. The fifth season is maybe the most ridiculous yet, and somehow each episode comes together with a more underlying message that wasn't as communicated as well in the season prior. There's not many episodes this season, but they make them count and have you looking forward to the next.

Put's season 4 to shame
The gang at Greendale is back in season 5, and just as funny as ever. This season make's up for the lackluster season 4. A D&D episode, and epic game of hot lava, this show is a nerd's dream. This show always has me laughing, but it also has great emotional side to it. I found myself teary eyed in a few episodes. I'm so glad yahoo picked this show up for another season. #sixseasonsandamovie

The End of an Era (Sort Of)
I loved this show although season four was somewhat lacking this season makes up for it. Sadly this season 2 cast members left the show and NBC Decided to cancel the series once and for all. I like that the season finale feels like a series finale. Despite that, Yahoo has given Community a Sixth season which will premiere March 17th, so I reccommend everyone catch up before then.
