Fired 'Community' creator Dan Harmon attacks NBC chief

Posted on May 20, 2012 by

Dan Harmon has a message for his ex-boss at NBC: You never wrote, you never called. Harmon, who was sacked late Friday as the showrunner of NBC's sitcom "Community," wrote on his blog that he didn't learn he'd been

poniewozik New post: My thoughts on the Dan Harmon fiasco; suits axe auteur, fans lose. http://t.co/cavmmWMJabout 27 minutes ago reply allyourtv @moryan I had heard a week or two ago that Community wasn't going to continue if Harmon was still attached.

Well, we've all probably already heard the news about Dan Harmon's ousting as showrunner for next season. At risk of over-editorializing, I'll save any sentiments about that for “Introduction to Finality,” as it's effectively Harmon's swan song.

Dan Harmon will not return as showrunner of "Community" next season, as NBC did not renew his contract for season four. Or, as Harmon wrote on his personal blog: "I got fired."

I will stipulate that Harmon can be a hard guy to get along with. But I don't require him to be my friend, nor should the executives at Sony and NBC.

Astronomy | annular eclipse | On Sunday, May 20, the Moon will pass between the Earth and the Sun, creating a solar eclipse.However, this isn't your usual event: because the Moon will be at.

Thunder deny Lakers, take 3-1 series lead

Posted on May 20, 2012 by

LOS ANGELES — Kevin Durant stood above the 3-point line and watched the shot clock dwindle in the final seconds of Game 4. When Metta World Peace backed up slightly on defense, Durant hesitated only an instant before launching a

(Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times / May 19, 2012) By Ben Bolch The less Matt Barnes plays in the playoffs, the better for the Lakers? The Lakers' two biggest victories of the postseason heading into Game 4 of their Western Conference semifinal series

Oklahoma City improved to 7-1 in the postseason with a tenacious rally on the second night of back-to-back games against the Lakers and Bryant, who scored 38 points but struggled in the fourth quarter of Los Angeles' fifth loss in seven games.

Neither the Lakers nor the Thunder have played all that well in their 2nd round playoff series. At least one of the two teams is likely to improve. Will it be the Lakers?

The Los Angeles Lakers are quite painfully learning that leaning on Kobe Bryant entirely to close out games is a broken model.

Why'd Sony want me gone? I can't answer that because I've been in as much contact with them as you have. They literally haven't called me since the season four pickup, so their reasons for replacing me are clearly none of my
