Community is busy at work making a special episode dedicated to the crime drama, complete with the “dun-dun’ sound effect.
In Basic Lupine Urology, Greendale is devastated when their science experiment is ruined! Their poor little yam sprout has been demolished, yikes!
So, like any other community college students would do, they begin a detailed investigation into the matter to find the culprit. And as soon as they do, he or she will have to face the wrath of judge…
“‘Community’ has not been canceled,” said NBC Entertainment chief Bob Greenblatt at the Television Critics Association 2012 winter press tour. “It will definitely be back in the spring,” he added, according to a tweet from TV Guide.
On Monday, NBC announced it was pulling the series from its mid-season schedule. (“30 Rock” will take its 8:30 Thursday time slot in January; “Community’s” third season will finish sometime in 2012.)
“Community” isn’t dead yet, but it’s on life support. When it does return, savor it while you can — and encourage your friends to watch. With a few more viewers, “Community” could at least reach graduation.
Speaking in a new interview, showrunner Dan Harmon teases that Abed and Troy are going to face a new challenge in the form of a brand-new roommate — Annie:
“Annie and Abed are going to have their scrapes and bruises with each other now that they’ll be cohabitating.”
Dan Harmon is trying to laugh about the ratings situation. Speaking with Deadline in a new interview, Harmon does recognize that the show pulls in low numbers — but also seems to believe that the ratings system is not entirely accurate:
“Nothing we really do works in terms of ratings. As far as critical respect goes, you can see a meteoric upward curve happening in the second season. If I only looked at our Nielsens, I wouldn’t even know that our show was on the air, much less if it was doing better or worse, because our audience is that small. The Nielsens were invented when television was splitting 200 million people three ways. Now, if somebody’s cat happens to turn on the TV, my numbers can double. It’s almost unrelated to what’s really happening.”
