its like community, you need the character diversity to drive the character interactions. If you do shit like that it no longer follows the original story line at all, which is the only reason for it to be in that same IP.

That's a great analogy, and points towards parts of the downfall of Community, as those diverse roles shifted with Chevy Chase leaving, Britta's character changes, bringing together Troy, Abed, and Annie, etc. It's a show I dearly love, but it's also a great demonstration of how a show can struggle to keep the magic going from a working formula.

Honestly, i think the down turn of the ending of the show as the characters disappear is part of it. You would have to be pretty brash to think you can keep a show good while having killed two prominent characters in the show.

Nothing great lasts forever, especially friendships. Things come and go, you just have to learn how to appreciate what you have sometimes.
