The rumors may be true! It's possible that Dan Harmon will return for the next (likely final, likely short) fifth season of Community. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Harmon, the show's creator who left last season, is talking to Sony Pictures Television to return "in some capacity."

That may be a problem right there. He used to run the show. He drove his staff, his stars and the network crazy with his fevered working methods. Allegedly, he'd take completed scripts, tear them up and start again.

But it's that sort of insanity the show needs.  Community is a special show, one that takes the sitcom format into places few if any have explored.  Without Harmon, season four, though it may have looked like Community on the surface, was missing something. He may be the only person who can return it to its former glory.

Still, I think that would mean he'd have to be given the reins again.  Even if Sony is seriously talking to him, that may be the one thing they won't do.
