So you long do you American fellows' 'mid-season hiatuses' typically last for?

This is sort of a special case, where the return is promised but no date is set.

another $25 to Kickstarter!

^^^ this. Or a kickstarter that sent Whitney Cummings to outer space, thus clearing space for Community on NBC's schedule.

It'll probably occupy the place of the Chelsea Handler thing, because Whitney is still a winner (by NBC standards).

Johnny Fever, Monday, 20 February 2012 18:07 (twelve years ago) link

That is so depressing on so many different levels.

Nicole, Monday, 20 February 2012 18:10 (twelve years ago) link

one of the supporting cast members on Are You There Chelsea? just did an SNL audition showcase, which is less than a vote of confidence in the show from the network brass.

Meanwhile, upcoming guest stars include John Hodgman and Giancarlo Esposito (!)

Also, someone's gonna die.

Watching season 1, Annie macing herself is beyond hilarious

You know, its kind of annoying to get IMPORTANT(!) news updates about this show every week without news on when the hell these episodes are going to air.

But at this point I'm assuming they're going to be burned off over the summer.

I saw Dan Harmon at the Nerdist live podcast a few weeks ago, and he said that the Sony copyright guy freaked out when they first did Inspector Spacetime, and had to go through hours of Doctor Who footage making sure they didn't infringe copyright. And he said ever since then all the storylines and stuff they've used have been fan-generated content, that the fans just went off on creating stories and videos and fanfic, so they've just been cannibalising that ever since, which I thought was kinda cool.

everytime i think i fall out of love i fall right back in.

We're not quite at summer burn-off time just yet. If there are 12 episodes in the can left to air, then they wouldn't have to start airing until mid-March. I think if they start any later than that, and they don't get the finale in on time for sweeps, then NBC has probably totally given up on it.

I can see them getting rid of Chelsea, which is currently their lowest-rated sitcom and putting it on after Whitney. They probably don't want to give up on Up All Night yet, despite its inability to hold onto the declining Office ratings. If they did, I'd imagine they'd move 30 Rock to the 9:30 slot to see how it does (its a much more expensive show) and put Community back in at 8 as they seem to have a guaranteed audience that's better than 30 is doing there now.

If there is a summer burn-off, I hope it's a good one and they don't end with a cliffhanger to try to convince the network to give 'em another season.

encarta it (Gukbe), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 06:16 (twelve years ago) link

this might be 30 rocks last year (baldwin wants it to end and he is a p big part of the show)

a hoy hoy, Tuesday, 21 February 2012 11:32 (twelve years ago) link

I thought they persuaded Baldwin to stay one season more (even after him being so vocal about this being his last year), but I could be making that up.

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 21 February 2012 11:36 (twelve years ago) link

xp I think Dan Harmon knows Community's future is walking a tightrope right now, and he kind of loves his fans, so I don't think he'd end season 3 on some kind of cliffhanger that would likely never be resolved.

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 21 February 2012 11:37 (twelve years ago) link

that is obsessed tv fan bait if ever there was such a thing though!

a hoy hoy, Tuesday, 21 February 2012 12:10 (twelve years ago) link

Yeah, I'd hate for it to end on a cliffhanger and have the central mystery of the show go unresolved.

Dan Harmon @danharmon

What you call 8:00, we call home. Community returns to Thursday nights on March 15th.

I just squealed.

Let A Man Come In And Do The Cop Porn (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 20:22 (twelve years ago) link

Exactly 12 weeks before the end of May Sweeps. There's still a fighting chance.

:D

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 21 February 2012 20:26 (twelve years ago) link

HOORAY!! I'm sad that Parks and Rec will have a longer than usual break between episodes as a result, but at least we'll end the season with Community, 30 Rock, and Parks and Rec all on the same night...AS GOD INTENDED.

lol parks and rec getting a five week hiatus just as community returns is the ultimate "we can't have nice things"

The show's PaleyFest panel starts in half an hour and is being streamed here: http://new.livestream.com/paleycenter/community

Not a clue if it'll work outside the US, but hey-ho.

Hah, I watched the Batman episode again recently and only then noticed that Troy was just walking round the apartment happily singing Abed's Halloween song to himself.

Livestream technology is now such that I could watch(read: listen to) all of this on my phone as I drove home last night.

Unless I'm wrong, he's the only proper improv type in the cast, isn't he? Jacobs, Pudi, YNB are all trad actors, Glover and McHale are stand-ups, not sure about Brie and Jeong.

William Bloody Swygart, Monday, 5 March 2012 00:51 (twelve years ago) link

Jeong started as a standup. Actually, he started as a doctor, and then became a standup.
