It looks like the doors of Greendale Community College are closing forever.

Today any hope for intelligent, innovative comedy finding a home at NBC was almost permanently nuked like a microwaved gremlin as the network has announced the long-dreaded yet tragically inevitable cancellation of the cult favorite comedy series Community only a few weeks after the conclusion of its fifth season.

Fans of the NBC comedy Community will be able to see their favorite characters as puppets in an upcoming episode of the show, which is set to air some time this spring.

In the episode, the study group goes on a wild balloon ride and end up crashing in the woods, and spending some time with a friendly mountain man. The experience has everyone feeling a bit awkward, so in order to speak about it freely, they all use puppet versions of themselves to share the tale.

Good news for fans of the hit NBC sitcom Community, as the entire cast has been confirmed to be returning when the show goes into production on season 4.

Returning cast includes Joel McHale, Alison Brie, Donald Glover, Yvette Nicole Brown, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Jim Rash, Ken Jeong, and Chevy Chase.

All but Glover, Chase, Rash, and Jeong are set to appear at Comic-Con next month.

A live-action comedy from Seth MacFarlane about a grown man and the relationship he shares with his best friend, a teddy bear that came to life as the result of a childhood wish and who spends most of his days cussing, getting high, and getting laid. Sounds like an awesome April Fools’ Day prank, but the truth of the matter is, it is anything but.

Two weeks after the premiere of its first poster, Universal Pictures has released the first trailer for Ted, which marks Family Guy/American Dad creator MacFarlane’s big-screen directorial debut.

You can watch the restricted trailer here below.

Seth MacFarlane, creator of animated series Family Guy and American Dad!, was on hand at the South by Southwest film festival to show off the first footage from his upcoming feature film directorial debut, Ted.

The movie is said to be a hard R-rated comedy about a man whose childhood teddy bear comes to life, and happens to be a swear-happy pothead and troublemaker. It stars Mark Wahlberg as the man whose childhood wish comes true, and MacFarlane is playing the teddy bear via motion capture performance.
