Like a lot of Community fans, I was saddened to learn that the series is being placed on hiatus and will likely be cancelled. The show’s geeky and borderline absurdist sense of humor strokes this nerd’s funny bone just right, but I’ll concede that it probably won’t appeal to the vast majority of American viewers. Any broadcast sitcom that devotes whole episodes to riffs on alternate universes, Dungeons & Dragons, and stop-motion Christmas specials is probably not long for this world. Perhaps it will find a home on cable or even Netflix. And there’s still Parks and Recreation. But at least give me a series finale that ends with Troy singing the Reading Rainbow theme song. Or have Annie and Britta make out. One of the two.
