Before I signed up I thought there was a thread on the show, but I guess I was mistaken. Anyways, Community is back as in the thread title. Still no word on if a season 4 is happening. Parks and Rec is being pushed back til Mid-April until 30 Rock finishes up. Glad to see it is back, one of the funniest and most underrated shows on tv. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/21/community-nbc-sets-midsea_n_1291728.html
Thought this show wouldn't last as long due to the setting taking place in a two year college. I've only watched the first season though so im not up to date on what has been going on. Sent from my VM670 using Tapatalk
So they're bringing back 1 great show, but they have to push back another great show? How about dumping some of the crappier ones?
I don't think they have any intention of going past 4 seasons. So hopefully they get one last season to finish the series and end with them graduating.
Agreed. I think community is much funnier and more clever. If anyone has not watched Remedial Chaos Theory from season 3, you have to. One of the best written episodes in sitcom. So many layers, and explains everyone's relation to the group.
You can get a 4 year degree from most community colleges, so I can see it going for 4 seasons. Community is one of my favorite shows, but it's kind of an acquired taste, I admit. First season I didn't like it very much, but now the writing has gotten so much better, it's awesome. There are also a ton of references to old episodes and inside jokes that veteran watchers get. I can't believe they took it off the air to begin with.
Six seasons and a movie! Glad to see this returning can we dump Whitney or that horrible Chelsea Handler show instead??!
They weren't getting good ratings so NBC pulled it. I loved how they wrote into the final episode before the break about "going to regionals" to explain the break. The funny thing is that 30 Rock has been getting equal or worse ratings than Community in the same timeslot so hopefully NBC realizes it isn't the show. No word on a 4th season unfortunately. I'm hoping we get another paintball episode this season.
I like 30 Rock and Community, I don't understand how these quality shows don't get ratings but utter crap (two and a half men?) does? What is wrong with Merica?
I don't know. I think I read in the 8:00 timeslot is Big Bang Theory which I think has gotten very repetitive and American Idol which somehow still draws fans. Since NBC shows are very accessible through Hulu and Netflix, less people watch especially through Nielson rating boxes. Add on that 30 Rock/Community have a bigger college student audience, and they are likely to watch it when they have time later or if they have time they don't have cable boxes that take in ratings.
I'm 26 and I worked third shift for 7 years. I can tell you I haven't watched a show at 8pm on any night my entire adult life. DVR and internet is where it's at. The Nielsen rating system and appointment television are archaic and irrelevant.
I completely agree. Networks still use it though and I don't there is a way yet on how to calculate internet viewers and DVR viewers.
I attempted to sit through Whitney once and I'd rather be at the dentist. She must suck some great cock and swallow because that's the only reason I can see that show still on. I owe this board on getting me into the show thanks to the original crossover thread, it also got me into 30 Rock which I love and Parks and Rec.
Who gives a fuck if they "should" graduate? It's not about having consistent, evolving, temporally-consistent plot; just keep the show going.
Parks and Recreation might be NBC's best show on Thursdays right now. And they decide to push that back? Who the hell even watches Up All Night? I don't.
I've seen a few episodes, I gave it the benefit of the doubt considering Will Arnett from Arrested Development and I grew up watching Applegate on Married..with Children, it had it's moments much better than most of the shit but not on par with Parks and Rec/30 Rock/Community. You're wrong, I'll admit the shows first 8 - 10 episodes are pretty rough but the show grew into itself and is consistent.
My fiancee loves the show, so I end up watching it too. It's actually not bad. I'll admit also that I haven't really watched it. I've tried but it just didn't seem funny. I know that isn't enough info to go on.
