    Incredibly sad about Community, one of my absolute favorite shows on NBC. But I’m glad that Parks & Recreation remains unscathed. If anything happened to it I would die.

    Up All Night should have been with The Office and their ilk this entire time. Why they thought that Whitney, which is vastly different in tone than all the other shows, what with a laugh track and everything, would compliment those shows and grab their audiences is beyond me…

    And booooo to Community being gone! Is it cancelled or just coming back in the Fall (like 30 Rock not coming back until Spring)?

    I don’t think Community is canceled. It think it’s run of episodes must be over–these are all the midseason shows. And the ones that are still on schedule must have had a bigger episode order. And I don’t know why the hell they put 30 Rock on at 8PM. So lame!

    Word is NBC is shelving Community until summer but I fear that the show is in danger of cancellation. It really bums me bc its the most diverse show NBC has. Community’s recent problem is that its up against Big Bang Theory. And NBC has this retarded thing where they don’t give struggling shows better time slots.

    Its really beyond me why they are pushing so hard for Whitney… its a crap show.
