The Joel McHale starrer from showrunner Dan Harmon has weathered a particularly difficult season. After being left off the network's midseason schedule, viewers rallied to save the show -- which returned with a modest splash in March. More recently, the half hour made headlines after Harmon shared an angry voicemail from co-star Chevy Chase, blasting the writer/EP over comments he made during the series' wrap party.

More recently, the volitale Sony Pictures Television comedy saw top writer-producers Neil Goldman and Garrett Donovan depart; the pair inked a two-year overall deal with rival studio 20th Television.
Late last year, the comedy landed a digital syndication deal with Hulu. As part of the pact, the online hub became the only place where the series' entire library is available. For its part, NBC has bet big on the series for May sweeps, setting the final three episodes of the third season back-to-back for May 17.
