More good news for NBC sitcom "Community." Just days after NBC announced they would be renewing "Community" for a fifth season, there are rumors that the shows creator/showrunner Dan Harmon could be returning for season 5. For a show that is supposed to make people laugh, there has been plenty of drama surrounding the show. Everything from backstage drama involving Chevy Chase and other actors, to shaky ratings and rumors of cancellations.

Many felt "Community" wouldn't last after its fourth season with struggling ratings. However, NBC execs shocked many, including some fans, by renewing the cult hit for another season. NBC's dismissed a lot of comedies, with "Parks and Recreation" and "Community" being a couple of the lone survivors. The season 4 finale of "Community" jumped up in the ratings with a 1.3. Yes, that was "up" from previous weeks.

Now, the big question becomes, will "Community" be able to revert to seasons 1-3, where the show became a hit or will it continue on with the direction of season 4, which was highly criticized. As Deadline reports, when NBC re-upped the show for a fourth season, Dan Harmon and Chevy Chase were on board. However, soon after being renewed, Harmon was replaced with David Guarascio and Moses Port. There could be hope for fans that are looking for the old "Community." Deadline is reporting that Harmon could be on his way back.

So why did Harmon leave in the first place? Well, Chevy Chase of course. Is it just me or does it seem like Chase has issues with everyone on "Community?" Either way, Chase has since walked off the show, making it more likely that Harmon would return. There are also rumors that season 5 could be the final season of the show.

I pose this question for "Community" fans...would you rather have Chevy Chase or Dan Harmon with the show going into season 5?
