Reason To Be Cheerful

Community gets walloped in the ratings by Big Bang Theory, but if you could measure popularity by fan intensity, it would probably be the #1 show on the nets.  So we happy few fans have finally got the news we've been waiting for--Community will return to the NBC schedule. It'll be back to its old losing ways in its old losing slot at 8 on Thursday starting March 15th.

30 Rock, presently at 8, will be pushed to 8:30, while Parks & Recreation will, alas, disappear until April 19, when Up All Night finishes its run. Why not just finish its run now--burn them off on Saturdays or some other night that's easy to ignore. (Actually, viewers find every night at NBC easy to ignore.)

So they'll make it through their junior year.  But it's still up in the air if they'll be allowed to notch another season and graduate.
