What To Expect: Creator Dan Harmon returns after a one-year exile for a ''regrounding'' of the show. Jeff Winger (McHale) returns to the halls of Greendale as a teacher and possible savior. ''He's pressed into the position to keep this school afloat,'' says Harmon. ''We take the idea of Greendale as an institution just a hair more seriously than we've done in the past. We look at it sort of our Dundler-Mifflin of The Office, if you will. It's a thing that's real, that has stakes to it, that needs to be solvent or it can't exist anymore.'' Dan Snierson
