Where to Start?- Community


I know I am way behind on news, but I never promised to stay up to date. I will attempt to fill you in on what you may have missed this week. First up is 'Community.'

'Community' is set to return for its season three premiere on September 22. To hold us over, NBC has released some teasers. I'll start with the first look of John Goodman as Vice Dean Laybourne the head of Greendale's air conditioner repair school. It doesn't give much away except that John Goodman uses a Rip Torn-esque voice to intimidate Dean Pelton.


The next video is an actual teaser for the entire third season. Not much is different from the teaser above except for a musical number and a laugh off between Goodman's Vice Dean Laybourne and Jim Rash's Dean Pelton.


What is not included in the video is Michael K. Williams who is best know as Omar from 'The Wire' and more recently as Chalky from 'Boardwalk Empire.' Williams will play a biology professor at Greendale and I think it is good that NBC is keeping Williams presence under wraps.

John Goodman joins 'Community' and How Charlie Sheen Will Leave 'Two and a Half Men'

A couple bits of information that intrigue me today. 'Community' is the one show I am looking forward to this fall and it seems they have added John Goodman to the cast for at least 6 episodes.
According to 'New York Magazine,' Goodman is joining Greendale Community College as the "new vice dean of its heretofore unexplored school of air conditioning repair."
That being said, I am curious to see how this will play out. I am a huge fan of both Goodman's and 'Community', but I hope this won't be the let down I suspect it will be.



Second piece of news today involves how Charlie Sheen's character in 'Two and a Half Men' will be killed off.
Now, thanks to an Irish bookmaker, fans can -- in countries where it's legal to do so, obviously -- place bets on how Charlie Harper will be killed off. And the current frontrunner, with odds of 11/10, is ... "Drives his car off a cliff.
I have never been a fan of the series or Sheen for that matter. I have tried to watch the show, but it is so hard to get through terrible child acting (although now full grown, you'd think the kid would get better at it) and John Cryer's... he's a nice guy, so I'll look past it. Either way, it is interesting to know that there are people out there who will literally bet on anything. My money is on a "piano falls on him."
