What I appreciate the most about this show is how it explains how these celebrities got into these positions, instead of just talking about their work. Something surprisingly not commonplace with a lot of interviews. I really want to get into the industry and it's reassuring hearing how flawed so many of them are and how they were able to find their big break.

In this interview, Harmon was just like his show, dark and fucking hilarious. Great interview! I loved his insight into network executives. And of course, as usual, PFT is the perfect host/interviewer. And that mustache, god bless it, is back in action.

+Benjamin Rujopakarn I think it's that Dan is best when he's at his most grounded. At Community, he was the crazy one, which made for some great TV but also some uncomfortable situations. At Rick & Morty, Justin Roiland's the crazy one, so Dan gets to focus on his strengths: story structure, character development, etc.

Dennis Crosby What exactly is your end-game for trolling Dan Harmon like this Mr Crosby? I mean, it's not like he'll read it and go "well now I practically HAVE to kill myself and destroy all past editions of community with this doomsday device." I mean...probably not. Still, you might want to check into some form of therapy...or try and find a nice girl and then check into couples therapy. Would that not be a more productive use of your time than living out aggression-fantasies on youtube comments? Although, that might be better than making more 'rant' videos...I would advise against that in the future.

Don't say that. He's exactly right for television, exhibits Community and Rick&Morty. Television is where he thrives, there's no reason to fix what isn't broken. Just think of Serenity and Avengers. Everyone thought Joss Whedon could do no wrong ever and if Firefly was how he did TV his movies would be mind blowing. Instead they look like overproduced TV episodes that lack the continuity of a "season" preceding or following them. I for one want Whedon to go back to TV for good, and I want other talented TV makers including Dan Harmon to stay right there with him.
