* As NBC comedies go, 30 Rock (3.2 mil/1.3) plunged 16 and 19 percent — falling below Community‘s most recent 3.62/1.5, ahem — Parks and Rec (3.65 mil/1.8) inched up 4 and 6 percent, The Office (5.3 mil/2.7) dropped double digits and Up All Night (3.8 mil/1.8) dipped 5 percent.

Ha ha ha! NBC should have left the lineup the way it was: Community, Parks & Recreation, The Office okay, they could have replaced Whitney with 30 Rock.

I like 30 Rock but as a bigger fan of Community, this is good news.

The only difference is, NBC has a love affair with Tina Fey. They don't have that same feeling for anybody on Community.

Those numbers are being blamed by NBC on a DVR issue, and apparently without it would've been at a 1.5, which is a tenth of a point above Community's series low (1.4). It got a 1.6 this week which is on par with what Community was doing in the slot during the fall.

They're basically in the same boat ratings wise. I'm pretty confident they'll both get one final season - Community because it will bring their total up to a syndication-ready 88 episodes and 30 Rock because they'd rather not piss off Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin and Lorne Michaels, and all of them have said they'd like another season for the show. Plus more episodes = more syndication money for NBC (right now they're making $800k an episode on 30 Rock).
