Elroy and Frankie were great additions to the cast, really shook up the established dynamic. Shame they didn’t get much time on the show. It’s like if Parks and Rec introduced Chris and Ben in the last season

[@user-pi1lb4tf2f]

I agree but most of Frankie and Elroy's great interaction with the cast hangs on what we know about the group before they arrive. Given that Chevy doesn't want to be in the Community, be it Keith or Jonatahan, both works just fine as his replacement. The Shirley to Frankie dynamic though, I think they can co-exist.

[@lilacoceantarot]

His face when Frankie says she doesn’t own a tv. I die laughing every time

[@ryanhoward8694]

1) Keith David is FANTASTIC in general. 2) Season 6 of Community is underrated. 3) The main characters introduced in Community Season 6 are tragically ignored and underrated. 4) That is all.
