Abed from 'Community' Lingers in the Background of 'Cougar Town' (Video)

Posted May 27th 2011 at 12:10 AM by AOL TV Editors

Maybe Abed's story to Jeff over on 'Community' about his making an appearance as a background character on 'Cougar Town' wasn't a lie. In a conversation between Lori and Travis that set up the gang's trip to Hawaii for the Season Finale, Danny Pudi was sitting behind them.

How awesome is Alison Brie? The 26-year-old actress is not only gorgeous (in that drop-dead kind of way), but she's got meaty roles in two of television's most critically acclaimed shows: 'Mad Men' and 'Community.' The former begins its fourth season on July 25 and, true to history, its stars aren't obliged to talk much about the AMC drama. But NBC's 'Community' is a different ball of fun, ...

TV Cliche Watch: The Betty-or-Veronica Dilemma Takes Over NBC for a Night

Posted May 21st 2010 at 05:30 PM by Gary Susman

When you see the same plot twist on more than one TV show in a season, you might call it a coincidence. Three times, it might be a trend. Four times? A cliché. But what do you call it when the same plot device turns up multiple times on several shows on the same night, on the same network? A company directive? A conspiracy? An epidemic of lazy writing? Whatever you call it, it happened ...

The brains behind NBC's 'Community' promptly responded to fan concerns that CBS was trying to destroy his lovable-yet-ratings-impaired show. Dan Harmon told his Twitter followers, "Well, if CBS ...

The past several years have produced an "embarrassment of riches" for actor Ken Jeong, who has gone from being a practicing physician, to dabbling in stand-up comedy, to having one of the fullest dance cards in Hollywood.

Posted Sep 15th 2009 at 12:35 PM by Mike Hess

Joel McHale's career has been an interesting one for sure. He's been in showbiz for quite some time and is an actor at his core, yet most people know him for his snarky (and hysterical) delivery of celebrity news on 'The Soup.' That's all about to change, as McHale is getting some major facetime in the new NBC sitcom 'Community' (premieres Thurs. 9/17 @ 9:30pm EST). Sharing the screen with comedy ...
