Production

Casting

Dan Harmon emphasized the importance of the cast to making the premise of the comedy work. ."Casting was 95 percent of putting the show together," he said in an interview.^ This is not to say that at some point, the main actors and producers couldn't get together and revive the show, but it's much more difficult to do so in a series that relies upon an ensemble cast.
  • Invasion at TV.com 17 September 2009 2:45 UTC www.tv.com [Source type: FILTERED WITH BAYES]

[6] .He had worked with several of the cast members earlier; Joel McHale, John Oliver, and Chevy Chase all had cameo roles in episode 9 of Water and Power, the short film series produced by Harmon for Channel 101.^ All films - All cinemas - All TV series .

[7] Actor Chevy Chase had long been a favorite of Harmon. .Though principally not very partial to sitcoms, Chase was persuaded to take the job by the quality of the show's writing.^ The show tackles some very controversial topics, including illegal immigration, job outsourcing, abortion, poverty, religion, and sexuality.

[6] .Harmon saw similarities between Chase and the character he plays on the show.^ As interesting as the medical cases are, the best part of the show is the interactions between the various characters.

Though Chase has often been ridiculed for his career choices, Harmon believed this role could be redeeming: "What makes Chevy and Pierce heroic is this refusal to stop."[8] Harmon had to warn Chase against playing a "wise-ass" the way he often does in his roles, since the character of Pierce is a rather pathetic figure who is normally the butt of the joke himself.[8]
.McHale, known from the E! comedy talk show The Soup, was also (like Chase) impressed by Harmon's writing.^ AP. Preview the hilarious new comedy starring Joel McHale and Chevy Chase at the new site.

He commented that "after reading Dan's script it was so head and shoulders above everything else that I was reading."[9] McHale appealed to Harmon because of his likeable quality, which allowed the character to possess certain unsympathetic traits without turning the viewer against him.[8] .For the role of Annie, Harmon wanted someone who would resemble Tracy Flick, Reese Witherspoon's character from the 1999 movie Election.^ This intelligent show leaves people who have watched it wanting more, because of the tension between the characters and great research into the medical problems.
  • House at TV.com 17 September 2009 2:45 UTC www.tv.com [Source type: FILTERED WITH BAYES]

Originally the producers were looking for a Latina or Asian Tracy Flick, for greater diversity, but could not find any. Instead they ended up casting Alison Brie, known from her role as Trudy Campbell on Mad Men.[8]

Development

The premise of Community was based on Harmon's real-life experiences. In an attempt to save his relationship with his then-girlfriend, he enrolled in Glendale Community College northeast of Los Angeles, where they would take Spanish together.[6] Harmon got involved in a study group and, somewhat against his own instincts, became closely connected to the group of people with whom he had very little in common. ."...I was in this group with these knuckleheads and I started really liking them," he explains, "even though they had nothing to do with the film industry and I had nothing to gain from them and nothing to offer them."^ For instance , I particullary liked the fact that Dr. Saunders is a Doll ; we don't have a clue what is real or what's not , hell even DeWitt can be a doll.

  • Family Guy at TV.com 17 September 2009 2:45 UTC www.tv.com [Source type: FILTERED WITH BAYES]

[8] With this as the background, Harmon wrote the show with a main character largely based on himself. He had, like Jeff, been self-centered and independent to the extreme before he realized the value of connecting with other people.[8]
About the creative process behind the writing, Harmon says that he had to write the show as if it were a movie, not a sitcom. Essentially, he says, the process was no different from the earlier work he had done, except for the length and the target demographic.[8]

Filming

Filming the show involved a lot of improvisation, particularly from Chevy Chase. .About Chase, Harmon said that he "tends to come up with lines that you can actually end scenes with sometimes."^ These kinds of things need to be resolved - like SURFACE - good up til then end and then it leaves you screaming COME ON!!!
  • Invasion at TV.com 17 September 2009 2:45 UTC www.tv.com [Source type: FILTERED WITH BAYES]

[10] He also mentioned Joel McHale and Donald Glover, the actor who portrays Troy, as adept improvisers.[9]

[11] Notably, David Bushman (Curator, Television) of the Paley Center for Media called Community the best new show of the fall season.[12]
Premiering in the 9:30pm ET spot on the evening of Thursday, September 17, the pilot episode had a viewership of 7.680 million. In the 18-49 audience, it had a rating of 3.7. As such, it held 93% of this audience from The Office, which had been in the previous time slot. .The show was called the "bright spot for the night" for NBC, seeing how The Office was down 18% from the previous year's premiere, while Parks and Recreation, in the preceding time slot, was down 30%.^ Carell's status as the funniest man in America was celebrated on the cover of Life Magazine and on NBC's "Saturday Night Live," where he hosted the 2005-06 season premiere.
