"Community" Lives! Season 6 to Air on Yahoo Screen
by Michael Ausiello
June 30, 2014

Now we just need the freakin’ movie! In a remarkable 11th hour resurrection, "Community" — which was cancelled last month by NBC — will live on via Yahoo Screen, which has ordered a 13-episode 6th season.

“I am very pleased that Community will be returning for its predestined sixth season on Yahoo,” said series creator Dan Harmon in a statement. “I look forward to bringing our beloved NBC sitcom to a larger audience by moving it online. I vow to dominate our new competition. Rest easy, Big Bang Theory. Look out, Bang Bus!”

Added leading man Joel McHale, “’The reports of our cancelation have been greatly exaggerated.’ —Mark Twain (The other version of this quote has been wrong for years). #SixSeasonsAndaMovie is real. Thank you Sony. Thank you Yahoo. Thank you Dan Harmon. And thank you to the greatest f%$#ing fans in the history of the human race. It’s the internet. We can swear now.”

Kathy Savitt, CMO of Yahoo, cited the show’s “incredibly passionate and loyal fan base” as a factor in the show’s pickup, adding, “We couldn’t be more excited to work with Dan, Joel, and the entire cast, as well as Sony, to deliver a great season 6.”

Let's focus on the first 3 episodes first and then finished this season with a series finale! If this works, then let's do the same thing for "Growing Up Fisher!"

YES!!!!!!!!!

I'm very happy about this news. Now the series total will go from 97 episodes to 110 episodes and not end with the season 5 finale, in which Abed states "We'll definitely be back next year." That line in what for a couple months turned out to be the series finale, really bugged me.

I just wonder if Jonathan Banks will come back. His character was in 11 of the 13 episodes last season and he was one of the group although he was only listed as a guest star and not a cast member. Now that he's doing that Saul show, I wonder what's gonna happen with his character.

But no matter what happens, I'm just glad to have "Community" back for a sixth (and I imagine final) season!

Not every show with a dedicated following should be revived on the Internet. PLUS: Dan Harmon should really shake things up on Yahoo, and why Yahoo Screen is a terrible fit.

I agree... SOME things should not be revived. However, "Community" is not one of those shows. Not until we get the six seasons and a movie the fans have been requesting. Seeing as this Yahoo season will be the sixth season and they've agreed to do a movie, that will fulfill what the fans want. I think Dan Harmon is really just in this to do that. I don't think he wants to go past that and I think going beyond that will be hard to get Alison Brie back. She seems to be busy these days and will get busier as time goes on.

We should do the same thing for "Growing Up Fisher" for a few more episodes.

Yahoo has plenty of eyeballs, it just needs an engaged audience that could become a premium for advertisers. PLUS: In defense of resurrecting “Community."

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

James28 · 07-25-2014, 02:09 AM

If the upcoming sixth season of the Community TV series ends up being a success, then can the series be extended past the sixth season (like season 7, and beyond)?

irehtman · 08-11-2014, 03:55 PM

Focus on the first three episodes first, then we'll decide what's the next step.

About this quote from Community creator Dan Harmon about the show's switch from NBC to Yahoo Screen:

"I look forward to bringing our beloved NBC sitcom to a larger audience by moving it online."

Hate to question the proposed move, but how is the (viewing) audience for the Community TV series possibly gonna get larger once it has moved from a conventional TV network/channel to an online medium? I know that during its last year on NBC, Community attracted less than 3 million viewers per episode.

He was obviously kidding...but viewership doesn't really matter for online viewing so that's why it's a good move. Yahoo has a bunch of money and airing Community draws attention and promotion to the streaming service they're trying to get people to know about.

Jeong adds that this season isn’t raunchier just because it’s free of broadcast standards.
