[Chevy Chase is leaving the show](http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/11/21/community-chevy-chase-exit/), although they’ve already filmed eleven of the thirteen episodes of the fourth season with him.

I’ll miss Pierce, but not Chevy Chase.

Pretty much sums up how I feel. (Although the storyline for Pierce has been pretty bad lately.)

Trashing the show you’re on in public always indicates serious jerk mentality. Fans, producers, networks hate that. It’s a major career mistake.

I kind of like _Whitney_. It’s one of the few shows that my wife and I both kind of like together.

The season premiere, however, stunk.

I’m glad they seem to have realized that Jacobs is the sexy one. 😛

> Just read where Chevy Chase (beloved movie star and ex-comedian) was angry and frustrated during a recent taping of _Community_, which led to a verbal tirade against the show’s writers, an outburst that included the word “Nigger” several times, in presence of his two African American co-stars, Donald Glover and Yvette Nicole Brown.

> (Apparently he didn’t actually call either of them niggers, which he repeatedly pointed out in his apology, so we know he is a good guy afterall)

Such sarcasm, but as I understand it, he really does deserve some sympathy on that particular point. Chevy Chase didn’t call anyone a “nigger”; he complained that his character was being made more and more racist, and that soon, his character would be calling people "nigger"s. He was expressing his concern over the direction of the writing for his character. So, sure, he may be belligerent and tactless, but the portrayal of him as racist in this incident seems to be sensationalist and undeserved.

You don’t have to be racist to be an asshole.

October 19th is almost here. It’s already October 19th in my heart. But soon it will actually be here for all to see.

Chevy left the show? No wonder he needed to do those Old Navy commercials.

I’ve warmed up to Whitney. I have been watching it and the show that follows and then switching to ABC for Modern Family.

I don’t have cable so it’s broadcast only around my house.
