Community’s Dan Harmon does his first in-depth interview about being fired from the show he created, and for a special nerd treat, Marc Maron conducts it.

Harmon describes TV as “a populist, derivative, democratic medium. You’re supposed to make a hamburger that everyone wants in their mouth.” As his particular sandwich had a more complicated flavor, something traditional ratings fail to fully appreciate, he started seeking “a good review in the Times.”

What’s next for Harmon? “My idea is to have less ideas, because I want to be successful in television.”
