Dan Harmon is Laying Down MAD Knowledge about “Showrunning”.
Show-whating? You know a showrunner AKA Liz Lemon from 30 Rock.
Recently, Dan Harmon creator of the TV show Community was fired or “dismissed” as Showrunner for that show. He took to his blog to address Community fans.
I find it interesting that a show creator/ showrunner can and does have direct access to his show’s audience, and will in-fact explain to us, one sidedly, what’s “really” going on behind the scenes.
Here’s Harmon laying down his side of all this show business.
Random quote:
I’m not saying you can’t make a good version of Community without me, but I am definitely saying that you can’t make my version of it unless I have the option of saying “it has to be like this or I quit” roughly 8 times a day.
