11 TV Moments Everyone Was Waiting For (That Never Happened)

5. Troy's Return - Community

Donald Glover's Troy was a huge part of what made Community so magic in its first three seasons, with his and Abed's friendship the heart of the series. Glover sadly departed the show in Season 5 due to Atlanta being picked up by FX, with the reason being he was captured by pirates, and that was the last fans would see of him.

Of course, it didn't stop us from wanting to see Troy again. While Pierce had run his course, Troy still had a lot to offer the show, and despite how great the finale ended up being, there was still a sense of regret at the show ending without one last Troy and Abed in the morning.

There was hope for a surprise cameo, but sadly it never materialised, with Glover actually turning down a request from Community creator Dan Harmon to appear in Season 6, saying it's important for things to end.
