Community showrunner and creator Dan Harmon was fired last year, but he’s back now. If you thought that meant that he would stop criticizing the executives who re-hired him, you’d be wrong. Harmon criticized Sony Television, which produces the show, and slammed the Harmon-less fourth season.

Harmon was officially re-hired earlier this month and he previously said that he didn’t watch season four, which was run by David Guarascio and Moses Port. But, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Harmon said on his podcast that he has watched the show and he wasn’t impressed with what they did with his creation.

“It's not somebody doing what they do and trying really hard to make people happy. It is very much an impression, an unflattering one,” Harmon said about the way Port and Guarascio ran the show. He later said, “They tried their best, and I think that's the best idea — well, not the best idea it turns out — but the most admirable impulse. … 'If there's anything else we do, let's not let [the fans] down.’”

Later, he targeted Sony. “Writers fighting other writers is the f---ing American dream in the eyes of Sony,” he said. “That is what they want. They want creative people rewriting each other. They want creative people replacing each other. They want us interchangeable.”

According to The New York Times, Harmon later apologized for his statements. “I feel bad if I made anyone feel bad with my comments in harmontown,” he said. “It's a dirty, personal comedy podcast, not charismatic for quoting.”

Later, he wrote an even lengthier apology on his blog, especially apologizing for a rape joke he made on the podcast.

“There’s something awesome about having all of those preconceived notions kind of ripped away from you. It’s exciting,” he said on the podcast. “There’s something awesome about being held down and watching your family get raped on a beach.”

For that, he apologized “to anyone I hurt by using the word ‘rape’ in a comedic context” and “to anyone I hurt by conjuring the concept of rape in a metaphor about my stupid hurt feelings.”
