Community
Six seasons and a movie were always a bit of a pipe-dream for the critically loved, little watched Community. While the meta sitcom about a strange study group at an even stranger community college went to weird and often great heights this season, the ratings never materialized. After a fall run, NBC abruptly yanked the show off its schedule. That was bad news for anyone who has watched a beloved and low-rated gem on the way to cancellation before. Fans rallied around the show, staging literal protests outside NBC and starting Twitter campaigns. All the campaigning worked...sort of. Community will be back in the fall for an initial 13 episode order. That's the good news. The bad news? The sitcom will be airing with Whitney on Fridays and mad genius creator Dan Harmon has been fired and replaced with two new show runners. Community might carry on, but it certainly won't be the show that fans and critics fought to save.
