You may have heard that NBC pulled Community from its midseason schedule with no definite return date. This is sad news, but the timing worked out. It turns out that Greendale Community College, where the show is set, also has to shut down for a few months due to low attendance and a “tenacious grease fire.”
A new clip features series stars Danny Pudi, Alison Brie, Donald Glover, Gillian Jacobs, Joel McHale, Yvette Nicole Brown, Chevy Chase, plus supporting characters Jim Rash (Dean Pelton) and Dino Stamatopoulos (Star-Burns) making the case for the social value of The Greendale Experience*, including the eventual extermination of raccoons and parking for local Muslims. Hit the jump to watch.
Via College Humor:
I am still operating under the assumption that Community will not be cancelled. So I am excited to see the first episode back to see how far they will extend this idea, using a return to Greendale as a meta-commentary on their own hiatus. (Like that Arrested Development scene that addressed the impending cancellation and potential move to another network.)
For more Community humor based on 1980s video editing techniques, watch the Greendale commerical from “Documentary Filmmaking: Redux.”

They better not end it without another paintball!
POP! POP!
They’re laughing at you not with you.
Save Annies boobs!
I notice Brie didn’t do it. Already her ego has gotten the better of her.
You know it’s true. 7″ only and all that.
wait, what didn’t she do?
I see what you did there.
So guess we can expect a SOG style episode, but as is Community the meta would be more “in your face”. Hope they do it. And off course hope they don’t cancel it. But if Chuck has been saved many a couple of times from the furry of the peacock(no, no Lord Sheng) guess there’s hope. So good this isn’t FOX.
*I meant SOB, not SOG
If NBC pulls community I will never watch NBC again. The Office isn’t the same. Parks and Rec isn’t as good as Community.
NBC will lose big time! The tried to do this with Chuck. Just a horrible network. I’ll watch Conan instead.
