Why community hiatus

Fans rallied around him, turning him into some kind of martyr. Conan scored his best ratings ever in his final Tonight Show , largely because of the Internet buzz and real-life word of mouth generated by the story. The network also benched Parks and Recreation last season; but when the show returned, its ratings made a significant jump.

Like, anywhere else on the primetime grid, for example. If this worked on NBC once, it could again, especially now that the network has sunk even further in the ratings. Our own Hallie Cantor has several ideas for fan campaigns to save Community , including sending paintballs to NBC and growing starburns. As with Community , the network has yet to announce the timeslot and premiere date for either series, but NBC could very well clear out a block of programming sometime in the spring to premiere Community with one of these new shows.

These days, 88 is the magic number of episodes needed for a show to be sold into syndication, which is when the money really starts to roll in. By the end of this season, Community will have 71 episodes almost as many as Arrested Development and Party Down combined, by the way , putting it just one short season shy of the syndication finish line.

Recap in Abed sinks further into delusion, Jeff falls for a self-esteem illusion and Troy comes to an unfortunate conclusion. All of which makes me wonder why Dan Harmon and Co. A good gag, but maybe a bit too on-the-nose, even for Community. Oh, the fan fiction that will inspire. Meanwhile, Britta warns Jeff to get off his meds, especially as the bar mitzvah looms, since any large social situation could lead to extreme flattery, which could in turn cause his ego to burst. Jeff, being Jeff, immediately ignores her, and is thus showered with attention from all the nice Jewish aunts and granddaughters attending the kosher celebration.

Which our TV Guide covers predicted last week! Sort of! In C-plot land, we get the return of Chang excuse me, Sergeant Chang , who begs the Dean for more troops.

Never Chang, you magnificent, insane bastard. Laying down the law, Troy tells Abed that he has to take a few steps back from fantasy land now and then, and learn to live in the real world. It was a legitimately touching scene in a mostly goofy, outre episode, but it worked.

Yep, Community is definitely back. Your go-to source for all the best Black Friday deals: tech, toys, fashion, mattresses, beauty, wellness, travel and more.
