When Community returns for Season 5 on Thursday, it will also mark the return of the show’s creator, Dan Harmon. Harmon returning to the show was a huge surprise, given the less than happy circumstances around his departure, but many involved in the series credit Joel McHale for playing a huge role in pushing for it to happen. When I spoke to McHale on the set of the show, we discussed bringing Harmon back to the series and the other changes in store for Community this season, including Jeff Winger becoming a teacher.
IGN TV: What's it like having Dan back this season?
Joel McHale: Well, it's like someone's giving you a new tank of air underwater, and now you can breath again. It's the restoration of what the show is and who the show was created by. The show is in Dan's brain, and that's why last year was kind of all over the place. One of the episodes was written by Jim Rash, which was a really good episode. Megan Ganz and Andy Bobrow were there, but it just wasn't the same, because everything comes out of Dan. The impetus starts with Dan. Obviously, Dan's particular brand of comedy for Community is very distinct, and that was lost last year.
