Dan Harmon wishes he had made fun of his Community bosses more
It's been several months since Dan Harmon was booted from NBC's Community, and in that time he's opened up in a lengthy, heartfelt blog post, given some confessional interviews, bemoaned his inability to create the perfect TV tranquilizer for America's brainwashed automatons, and then received two separate offers to develop new shows for Fox and CBS—you know, the circle of showrunner life. But people still want to talk Community and Harmon continues to oblige, most recently in an interview with KCRW's The Business where, typically, he both blames himself ("I would have fired me") and points an accusatory finger ("We’re going to smother it with a pillow very quietly," he says of NBC's decision to put the show on hiatus and then make a shortened fourth season without him, then later scoffs at network president Bob Greenblatt's request to make it "more grounded" by noting that Greenblatt only watched five episodes). Still, he really is trying to move on, saying his possible multi-camera Fox and CBS pilots are his attempts at "pleasing everyone," and expressing hope that he'll prove he's employable this time.
