Yahoommunity wraps season six.
But is it the end of the road for Greendale?
Here’s our review…
My emotions!
To that end, Emotional Consequences of Broadcast Television does a helluva lot right.
In other words, this is a finale wayyyy up inside its own butthole, Morty.
Luckily, I expect everyone watching is right up there alongside it.
Have no fear, weve got stories for years!
(And then NBC cancelled them.)

Emotional Consequences is also obsessed with itself, but the obsession doesnt overlook the flaws.
Should it continue at all?
Communityfans are crazy in love with this show and its creator knows it.
Jeff is the audience here, wanting to keep the show going, with as few changes as possible.
That dream is decimated, however, when Abed reveals hes moving to LA.
He got a PA job on a Fox show.
Furthermore, Annies landed a summer internship with the FBI.
Of course, this parallels real life, sort of.
Why doesnt the audience feel sorry for me?
In other words, in some ways its gotten uncomfortably close to being a normal sitcom.
These characters (and these actors and writers) have to be permitted to move on and grow.
And the same is true of the fans.
This is also a wildly clever and fairly regularly funny episode to go out on.
Abeds version of the show deconstructs it to its fundamentals (Brittas cry of absurd reaction!
Jeff gets a bunch of different pitches, which basically just get sadder and sadder.
The episode remembers thatCommunityis a show obsessed with pop culture, too.
As Jeff says, They are so not a big deal!
Its just all there is!
My soul wouldve been rent in two.
So, a movie to close everything out?
One that, one hopes, would bring back Troy, Shirley, and maybe somehow even Pierce?
Well, sure, Im on board.
I mean, come on, Im not a total asshole.
