Trivia: Some exteriors for Greendale were filmed at Los Angeles City College, a real school in LA. Most of the filming at the college took place during seasons one and six, which had higher budgets and could afford more location shoots. Other exteriors were shot around the Paramount lot.

Trivia: According to Dan Harmon, a lot of Chevy Chase's dialogue in the series was based on things he actually said behind-the-scenes. He'd say something odd or nonsensical in conversation, Harmon and the writers would jot it down, and then they'd add it to the scripts during rewrites.

Beginner Pottery - S1-E19

Trivia: When Shirley is the Captain in their sailing class, the collar device on her lapel is two silver bars. While that is the collar device of an Army Captain (O-3), it is only a Lieutenant in the Navy. A Navy Captain is an O-6 and wears a silver spread-eagle on their collar device.

Season 4 generally

Trivia: Creator Dan Harmon was fired during season four and rehired for season five. Harmon attracted some controversy when he finally watched season four and made several vulgar jokes about it, as he felt it was like an "unflattering impression." He later apologized and stated that he had a lot of respect for the writers and season four showrunners for trying their hardest to replicate his work and keep the show alive, and said he thought many of the jokes and the Rachel character were great.

Advanced Introduction to Finality - S4-E13

Continuity mistake: In episode 11 of Season 4, it was stated that Leonard got an A in 1968, then opted for pass/fail to have the highest GPA in the college. In the final scene of this episode, however, it shows Greendale college as being established in 1974.

Laws of Robotics & Party Rights - S6-E5

Question: Something I don't get... If Willy the prisoner is not really a killer, as revealed in the climax, then why did he try to literally kill Jeff earlier? It goes against the whole joke of the episode - that Willy is actually a fairly harmless fraud who never actually killed anyone despite his claims. He was just sort-of a loser who built a mystique around the fact he was (wrongfully) convicted of murder. The fact that he did try to kill Jeff therefore just doesn't quite add up in my head.

Answer: His attempt to "kill" Jeff was to roll at him as an iPad on a stick. He knew it wouldn't work, but it played to the story that he was a killer as he knew Jeff would tell people about it, or attempt to retaliate for it.
