What this season premiere demonstrates, more than anything, is that Community has always been much more than its quick dialogue, cultural references, animated segments, and self-aware critiques of the sitcom form. All of those were present in “History 101.” But what didn’t come across — and what Dan Harmon clearly brought to every script he wrote or even oversaw — was a deep understanding of or compassion for all seven of the show’s main characters, a scrupulous attention to the way they have grown and changed together over the course of three school years. Harmon, it turns out, wasn’t just the genius behind Community; he was its heart, too.
