The NBC comedy Community returns tonight for its third season. Season two concluded with a dramatic paintball competition, while season 3 of Community has the study group facing a whole new set of challenges.  One of them is a new biology teacher named Professor Kane (played by Michael K. Williams), who is very hard on the group.  He and Joel will immediately butt heads and Joel will be kicked out of class.  Also, they'll have to deal with Chang's questionable appointment to the campus security group.

John Goodman will also be appearing this season as Vice Deam Laybourne (and the head of the Greendale Air Conditioning Repair Annex) and he'll clash with Dean Pelton, who was feeling great after a summer at "Dean Camp" until he sees Laybourne.  Meanwhile, Troy and Abed will decide to share an apartment this season, which is not only a recipe for hilarity, but will also test their friendship.

In the season 3 premiere tonight, the group will come together again after their summer break and they will be wondering whether Pierce will return to the school after storming out after last season's paintball game.

Below are three sneak peeks for tonight's season premiere of Community (beginning at 8:00 p.m. ET).  To view photos for the premiere, click the arrows above.
