Many were anticipating the return of Community coming October 19th, however NBC has pushed this back to a later date. Here is NBC’s official statement:
“Given the success we’ve had for the past four weeks – including winning the first week of the season in A18-49 – we’ve decided to continue to concentrate our promotional strength on our new NBC shows that are scheduled Monday through Wednesday and have therefore decided to hold COMMUNITY and WHITNEY from their previously announced premieres of October 19th. Without having to launch these comedies on Friday at this time, we can keep our promotion focused on earlier in the week — plus we will have both comedies in our back pocket if we need to make any schedule changes on those nights. When we have a better idea of viewing patterns in the next few weeks, we will announce new season premieres of WHITNEY and COMMUNITY.”
So it’s possible Community won’t air on friday nights after all but as to it’s actual return it looks like we’ll just have to wait and see.
Now even more bad news regarding Louie. The third season was a hit at the Emmys and many people including myself really love this show. The LA Times is currently reporting that Louie will be going on an extended hiatus and won’t be back until Spring of 2014. The reason is actually because of Louie C.K. himself who asked for more time to focus on what he wants to do for the fourth season. For more info here is the latimes article:
I’m bummed on both counts, how about you?
