You had a good run, Greendale. After five seasons of meta-obsession and homages to genres popular and obscure, the Dan Harmon creation that was Community is no more on NBC. After a fifth season that was truly a return to form (following that dreadful — yeah, we said it — season four without its visionary helmer), there was hope that the show might actually make it to that all-important #sixseasonsandamovie — but alas, time is cruel and ratings-fronted rulings on the fate of television are often crueler.

Sure, there’s little surprise in the fact that the show — always on the brink of cancellation — finally got the axe, but that doesn’t make the truth hurt any less. In fact, there was a veritable s–tstorm on Twitter following the announcement, with pop culture obsessives commiserating over their now-fallen comrade.

“Twitter isn’t big enough to hold my condolences and more importantly my gratitude to the best fans, cast and crew in TV history,” the series’ creator and showrunner, Dan Harmon stated on Twitter. “Excelsior.” He wasn’t the only one who took to the social networking site to discuss the news.

Joel McHale, the series’ star, was the first to comment on the news, sending shivers down our spine because OH NO IT’S REAL:

The rest of the cast went the gratitude route:

But don’t lose faith yet! There is still the glimmering vestige of hope that is the fact that, according to Entertainment Weekly, the series’ production home, Sony TV, will try to ...

You guys, James Franco is upset. And, naturally, when he gets upset, things get weird. Eating-rice-cakes-in-dreads-in-bed levels of weird. While the unnamed woman heard speaking in the Instagram video insists these shenanigans have to do with an excess ingestion of “too much dope in the club,” we’re fairly certain it also has to do with the fact that they’re making a Spring Breakers sequel. Turns out the Alien America deserved but didn’t know they needed is none too pleased with the idea of Spring Breakers 2, and his poor, delicate tummy can’t seem to take it.

“ALIEN IN REHAB! And BTW F*** that SBers 2 BS, they’re doing it without HARMONY’s CONSENT. Sounds LAME AS A MUTHA!” the caption attached to the video states. Which doesn’t really speak so much to aggravated tummies as it does annoyance at production house Wild Bunch and, well…just watch it and make up your own mind about it. But there’s no denying it’s strange in that way we’ve come to expect from Franco at this point. Call us when he does something really bizarre, like leave his Instagram account at home.
