NBC’s formerly fabulous (and hopefully continuing to be fabulous, following the departure of showrunner Dan Harmon) Community was supposed to return on October 19th. That was Friday. Except it didn’t.
At the last minute, NBC decided not to air it and hasn’t yet come up with a new premiere date. Feeling slightly sarcastic about the whole thing, the cast and crew have put together a very special ‘Troy and Abed in the morning’ to explain why every day is really October 19th.
Incidentally, Chevy Chase doesn’t appear to be enjoying the way the show is going at the moment, by the sounds of it.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
