Community?! But... why?!

Yes, it's one of those awful instances in television where an amazing show just suddenly... disappears. I'm still recovering over the loss of Arrested Development. Plus, discovering that after I watched two seasons of Party Down that in fact the party was over was pretty devastating.

Why does TV do this to us? Obviously, we all know the reason deep in our hearts. Money, ratings, ultimately glory, it all plays in the cards. But Community is good, I mean, really good. I thought it was growing a following? What happened?

I always think about what might play into great shows like this doing poorly in the ratings. I'm pretty sure at this point in the revolutionized world in which we watch TV, TiVo and Hulu aren't factored in to the overall total of who's watching. It sucks, but, what do they expect us to do? Leave our TVs on while we socialize on a Thursday night? Why must I pretend to have a household pet in which I rationalize my neglect for leaving it alone for my favorite show to stay on the air?

Bottom line, I am in no mood to sit around for three years to see the show again. What I mean is, I first have to wait for the show to finally go off the air, hear everyone bitch about how upset they are about it, wait around for a film company to pick up the script, wait for everyone to figure out a contract (I'm looking at you, Chevy), then finally shoot the movie. Dammit, I won't stand for it.

C'mon now. This show is brilliantly written, culturally relevant, and has amazing characters. It is different than any show out there today, and if no one is watching it... it's because everyone is stupid. YEAH THAT'S RIGHT, I SAID IT.

Don't be one of "those people" who "discovers" a great show right after it gets canceled. Watch it now, love it now.

So, do me a fave-sies (favor, for all you lame folk), and go to :
