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.
Glover — current star of “Community” (a part of NBC’s Thursday-night comedy lineup), former “30 Rock” writer, viral video creator, all-around handsome dude — raps under the name of Childish Gambino. And he’s pretty good.
Glover’s rhymes penned as Gambino have an intricate dexterity to them, with knotted schemes and a writer’s knack for making language pliant
Grab the Thursday comedy mantle by moving Monday hit Big Bang Theory to anchor the night.
Traditionally staid CBS is making the most dramatic move for the 2010-11 TV season. Seizing the opportunity to take over the Thursday-night comedy mantle, the network will move current Monday-night hit The Big Bang Theory—which recently landed a rich syndication deal and is averaging 14.1 million viewers and a 5.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic—to 8 p.m. on Thursday. It will lead into the new William Shatner comedy $#*! My Dad Says.
“Nothing is setting the world on fire [Thursday at 8 p.m.],” noted Kelly Kahl, senior executive VP of CBS Primetime.
Formerly the time slot of iconic NBC comedy Friends, this fall Big Bang will go head-tohead with NBC’s Community, a promising comedy that is still a long way from hit status. $#*! My Dad Says, based on the Twitter phenomenon, will be competing against NBC’s 30 Rock.
