Ken Jeong, who plays Senor Chang on Community (although, barely these days), becomes Community’s first series regular to jump into pilot season, landing a supporting role in Rob Corddry’s ABC sitcom, Spy, which is based on a UK series. In the series, Corddry plays the well-intentioned dad of a highly intelligent and verbal son who also happens to be his complete opposite. Corddry’s character inadvertently takes a job at the Secret Service in order to prove himself a worthy father. Jeong will play the “lithe and mischievous Examiner.” Community, which hasn’t been a hit with critics or audiences since its return, is coming off of two weeks of dismal ratings. Deadine is reporting that Spy is in the second position, but ABC is clearly assuming Community will not return next year. Given how terrible NBC’s ratings are across the board, it’s hard to bet on anything.

Population wars. 313 million Americans. 62 million United Kingdom citizens.
Shouldn’t they be remaking OUR shows? Nah, they just watch our shows. Then hang on, why are we remaking their shows instead of simply watching them?
#TooAmericanToFail
UK’s televsion structure doesn’t work for America. Remember that most of their seasons consist of 7-13 episodes and somewhere there’s a gap of a year or more between the seasons. Networks here would freak out at that sort of structure.
@Digital……… I agree with your point but here’s the issue.
To a lot of people the English accent might as well be a foreign language…
sad but true.
Yeah, my dad is 70 and he complains about Lane Pryce’s accent on Mad Men.
I suppose Trainspotting would blow up his brain.
I suffered through 10 series of Shameless with David Threlfall – I earned it.
I still miss the Senior Chang of Season 1.
*senor, not senior as in Pierce.
señor not senor
That was my biggest gripe with Harmon, what he did with the Chang character. He should have always been a teacher, Harmon messed up imo.
Other than The Soup, of course…
The Examiner is the best part of Spy. Ken Jeong will overact and ruin the role. Bad, bad choice.
I still think the reason some people are disappointed by Community is mainly because they thought they would be disappointed and it became a self-fulfilling prophecy.
+1
Agreed, I would also say that some were so excited for it to be back that there is no way it could meet expectations.
Or it just isn’t as good…Every episode there is a lot of “BROAD COMEDY VS OUR SMART COMEDY!” jokes…we get it..you guys are smart comedy gettin crushed by NBC
yup
Months of additional waiting, constant pushbacks and all the off camera drama did not help expectations.
BING
I like new community as much as I liked season 2 and 3 of community
Honestly, I completely forgot he was still on the show.
Inadvertently takes a job with the Secret Service..Because that’s totally possible
My guess is that they got lazy (I know. Crazy, right?) and copied the UK description. But the British and American Secret Services are two very different agencies. I could conceive of some civilian getting dragged into the spy biz (that’s how at least 3 or 4 characters on Spooks/MI-5 joined the Security Service). But one doesn’t just become a special agent of the USSS.
I thought sign said “Secret Shopper”..oh well, I’m already here. Might as well see if they insurance
Have insurance.
I wish he’d plan to jump off a bridge
