They'll remap the episode broadcast list to work around it. It's common in TV series in the unlikely event of something happening

don't tell us they are going to show em out of order?

;____;

Will probably end up as a midseason replacement for one of the new shows, which pretty much means definitely no backorder for another 9 episodes.

alroley · 09-10-2012 8:05pm

Did anyone read the interview with the new show runners?
Here

Why do I have a feeling they will use Troy to make Britta realise she wants Jeff and Jeff/Britta will be endgame - I hope I am wrong. I love their friendship but they were over and should be left that way! I'm not a huge fan of Troy/Britta anyway(I think it feels forced) but I was hoping for Jeff/Annie to be endgame but from the interview it looks like they're ignoring the 3 years of build up and the fact they're a huge fan favourite. I'm not looking forward to season 4 now - and I was so optimistic.

A lot more shows than you think are broadcast out of order, except the shows with a continual storyline. Sometimes the TV producers favour one episode at a certain time than another. For example, Futurama in Season 3 and 4 were changed around a lot. Producers preferred that episode 5 be broadcast first in S4 and S3.

Happens on our side of the water too. Red Dwarf, with the exception of S1 and S10, has never had its preferred episode mapping. Same with Black Adder, Black Books, plenty more if you do some research. TV producers always have the last say I'm afraid.

but then what would happen if all those shows turn out to do really well?

but there's been some hints that jeff and britta might still be possible -- he got very worked up about that carnival guy-- and annie's probably gonna pair with abed in the end. I kinda figured Jeff would end up alone, and become the DEAN!

Famously, Firefly was shown OOO....more recent...Melissa & Joey. It happens alot more with sitcoms.........

......especially those close to cancellation

Thargor · 09-10-2012 9:53pm

I just dont get how Community is treated so badly, even if you completely ignore the genius level of the comedy compared to the other trash you'd think Britta and Annie on their own would be enough to bring in the crowds, other sitcoms can do it (2 Broke Girls, Dont Trust the B...).

Mr E · 09-10-2012 10:03pm

Maybe Community has too many 'in' jokes for fans that make it somewhat inaccessible to newcomers?

phasers · 09-10-2012 10:09pm

Which is why NBC should work with the following it has instead of trying to court new audiences who aren't there. There are so many ways to make money off a following as Community's.

Maybe Netflix will resurrect it.

/no I'm being positive. Anyone wanna make a pact where if one of us ever dies the other will get there first and stage it to make it look like a suicide protest against the cancellation of Community?

Animal Practice, Guys with kids and Up All Night are doing really badly.
One of the will definitely be cancelled - but knowing NBC they will give the timeslot to Whitney instead of Community.

Ehrmahgerd no if that happens I swear I will be as thick. Jeff/Annie shipper fo lyf ;__; I'd rather it just end up with them all single and ships never being mentioned again than Jeff/Britta being ressurected tbh. Really wasn't fond of that pairing.

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 10-10-2012 12:31am

What's with all the doomsday negativity around here? I'm supposed to be the Captain of Negativity, but I'm remaining positive with Community...
Remember NBC is the network that gave us 5 seasons of Chuck despite incredibly low ratings. We will get six seasons and a movie - NBC may be getting back on their feet, but it'll still take another couple of years to integrate new higher rated shows into the schedule, so until then I think Community and Parks & Recreation have another couple of seasons left in them. Despite what they may say or do, NBC have always been proud of their comedy line-up, so with 30 Rock and The Office definitely ending this year, they will squeeze another couple of years out of their next 2 longest running sitcoms (Community and Parks)...
Positive energy, y'all...

My bad mood over this hasn't been helped by the details of the episodes we have to wait for, including a Shawshank Redemption homage and one with the return of the German foosball players.

It's going to be a long wait [sigh]

Mcanoif · 17-10-2012 10:24pm

Hey just saw that teebusters are on phantom fm tomorrow and will be giving free tees. ! Going for my troy and abed

alroley · 17-10-2012 11:06pm

First clip from season 4 (shown when Joel was on Ellen - of course he was there to promote Community returning this week but yeah......)

Animal Practice has been cancelled with Whitney replacing it.

Looks like Community will be back on Thursdays - but not for a while.

phasers · 18-10-2012 8:57pm

betcha it will replace 30 Rock midseason, since they cancelled that Dane Cook thing they had lined up

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 19-10-2012 12:03am

Don't forget they still have to shove 1600 Penn into the schedule somewhere though...
Is there any other comedies that don't have a home yet?

phasers · 19-10-2012 1:13am

when does The Farm start? I know that they're introducing it sometime soon... They'll probably save it for Fall though.

I think Up All Night only has a short run this season so that opens up another space.... Although I seriously am expecting to see God Cop on the schedules soon.

squonk · 19-10-2012 11:06am

I can't believe Up All Night is doing badly. The show has gone from strenght to strength I think. maybe the big shakeup between Season 1 and 2 isn't sitting well with US viewers?

What's with the long cull time this year? Practically everying I started watching 1 month ago is still on a green light. I started watching practically everything in the expectation that there'd be a few fallers one month in. Last year that was true. Not so this year so far.

On another note, I see Whitney is still going. I watched 4-5 episodes of that show last year and had to give up. It made 2 Broke Girls look diverse. The show never went past stupid exaggerated situations based on her relationship. It seems to be a strong show now. Did I screw up and bail too early?

That.. was.. brillant!

Not sure how NBC would feel about it.. but definitely done in true Community style.

19-10-2012 7:39pm

Do you think they're alluding to this being the Dark Timeline, with Chang wearing his evil goatee?

It was uploaded to the NBC youtube channel.

No, I mean I wonder how they felt about them essentially taking the mick out of his decision.

I think it was based on an actual flashmob that happened outside NBC HQ, and the black goatee has sort of become a fan symbol now.
