But Harmon’s management style is not the only factor (or even, perhaps, the main one). Community has never gotten great ratings, and Harmon has reportedly resisted requests from both NBC and Sony to give the show a broader appeal. Of course, this may also help explain its consistent inventiveness and its wild ambition. Many fans are now rightly concerned that the new, post-Harmon Community will lack the originality of the show’s first three seasons.
