The modestly rated comedy might, however, change time slots — getting out of its 8 p.m. Thursday time period, where it airs against CBS’ heavy hitting Big Bang Theory. “Community was moved to 8 p.m a couple years ago and that’s an incredibly competitive time slot now on Thursday and I’m really curious to see what something else would do there,” Greenblatt said. “I don’t know if it makes sense to ask it to start off the night again. We’ve tried to migrate some comedies to Wednesday this year. It’s a matter of looking at what happens with the six comedies we’ve got to figure out where Community makes the most sense.” And what about a fourth season? “I don’t know. Those are hard questions to answer at this point … we’ll make that decision closer to the upfront.”

Those are hard questions to answer at this point … we’ll make that decision closer to the upfront.” I'm trying to pinpoint Community's return...renewed for a fourth season or not, it's coming back. (I was a naysayer at one point -- this is good!) 30 Rock is going to air a full season w/o reruns, which will take us to summer hiatus. The Office pulls in "good" numbers (by NBC standards), so they'll show reruns like whoa. Up All Night is obviously their new baby, so it's 9:30 slot is a lock. So I'm thinking Parks and Rec might air w/o reruns, with a couple back to back eps thrown in during February sweeps, and finish out its season early...and then Community will take Parks slot after that, and Community will have to handle May sweeps. Just speculation on my part, but it's logical.

And that's exactly where Handler's show will live a short life. If Community returns on Wednesday, it has zero chance for renewal, IMO.

I can see them airing the rest of this season Wednesday and then burning off a shortened season in an even worse slot next year.

Remove this ad I don't understand why the networks still cling to the ratings system. Execs: How are ratings on Community? Ratings: Well, according to the undemocratic sampling of people who volunteer for our service, not so good. Execs: Okay, so nobody watches it. Pull the plug. Millions upon millions of people: HEY!!!!!!! Execs: What?

Oh, is that the issue? Gosh, I wish someone would have discussed that here at some point. Really.

The only purpose of a TV show is to sell time to advertisers. A show like Gossip Girl can survive for years because it consistently delivers stupid teenage girls to advertisers. All those CSI shows deliver old people, NCIS delivers stupid people, Whitney delivers drunken whores, etc. What kind of demographic does Community deliver to advertisers (apparently "brilliant, handsome and funny message board posters is NOT a profitable market). That being said, I never thought Community was a 7:00 pm kind of show -- it's too dark and complex. But you can imagine a bunch of network programmers sitting around saying, "Okay, we've got this new show called "Community" that's about a group of students at a community college. It's 'cool' and 'edgy'. So it's going to bring in lots of teenagers who will relate with these cool and edgy college kids. Let's put it on at 7:00 to bring in all those hip teens to our Thursday comedy lineup."

Nice troll, Beefcake. I'm just enjoying the show while it's still around. If it dies, then I'll just pull a Veronica Mars on it and do random weekend marathons of older seasons. It will still be as enjoyable. Last Edited By: highwind44029 01/10/12 09:06 AM. Edited 1 times.

Todd is coming back for episode 317! it's written by megan Ganz (who also wrote cooperative calligraphy and intermediate documentary filmmaking) and she said she thinks it will be better than those two and will also be a deviation from the norm like her last two eps (bottle episode, documentary). when asked for a hint, she referenced the law and order 'noise' so I think it's going to be some type of procedural sendup. this was all on a Reddit AMA she did a few days ago
