Sorry to be the bearer of such fucked up tidings here, but according to Deadline Hollywood, the powers that be at NBC have decidedly “britta’d” up their programming schedule by benching Dan Harmon’s mega-genius meta-sitcom Community mid-season. Ouch! This is a sad day indeed for smart comedy on American television. The word has barely leaked out, but it’s already turning into a cause célèbre on Twitter. (Nearly 900 new tweets appeared in the time it’s taken me to HTML this post).
Things haven’t been this bleak and hangdog around Casa Metzger since the day that shithead BBC3 controller cancelled Ideal. What idiocy! Both Friends and Seinfeld took a while to catch on. Dogshit like Whitney is still on and Community is on the ropes? Isn’t America a meritocracy anymore? Fans love the shit out of Community. This is a super short-sighted move on NBC’s part. There needs to be a “Save Community” petition or a recall election of NBC brass or something.
Something drastic. Like kidnapping? You can complain to NBC here.
Or maybe FX will just step in and grab it. Here’s hoping.
UPDATE: The Hollywood Reporter says Community is not being cancelled. But what are the odds of it sticking around if it’s not even being put back on the schedule?
