Second best possible piece of news regarding Community.

Second best possible piece of news regarding Community.

That sounds like such fun. I laughed especially hard over

The panel also included a slideshow explaining the long line of actors who played the Inspector: Christopher Lee in the 1960s, Stephen Fry in the 1980s, and Steve Carell in the 1990s TV movie.

COMMUNITY!

MARCH 15!

8:00pm!

UNFORTUNATELY STILL ON NBC!

[GoGo Yubari]

YES YES YES THANK FUCK

What's happening to the rest of the Thursday lineup, though? Specifically 30 Rock and Up All Night, I think Parks and Office are safe where they are.

[Fait Accompli]

...YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

YES!

That I don't know. Total guess on my part, but I'd guess 30 Rock is moving back to 9:30 and Up All Night is either moving back to Wednesday when they cancel Chelsea Handler or its going on hiatus until The Office and Parks & Rec finish up their order.

[GoGo Yubari]

I could see it going back to 8:30 on Wednesdays since it's actually done fine there before, though now it has Idol to deal with.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

My day has been made.

UPDATE: Alan Sepinwall got some more specifics about how it will all work, with the obligatory bad news to go with the good news—specifically that Community's return means a five-week break for Parks And Recreation. Fortunately, however annoying that pause may be, it doesn't mean losing any Parks episodes, as the show was already scheduled to wrap a month before all of its Thursday night associates. Now Parks will return sometime in April to close out its season with the added benefit of a better, post-Office timeslot (Up All Night having wrapped by then).

Okay, that works too.

Does NBC have a rule against having too many good shows on at once?

[GoGo Yubari]

They'll finish the season strong with their big four, and I'm cool with that.

[apsham]

That puts Community up against Big Bang...

[MalaCloudy Black]

Hasn't it always been?

[GoGo Yubari]

In the first season Community had the post-Office slot. Since then, though, yeah, 8pm vs. Big Bang Theory.

[TKz]

Awesome Community is back, but honestly I'd rather have more Parks and Recreation.

[LL!]

Edit: Did not notice a new page.

We're still getting the same amount of P&R. I hope Community does well enough upon return to get a 4th season, I don't know what the likelihood of that is, but I'm guessing a suitable finale will be written just in case they don't get it.
