NBC picks up two more comedies, is pretty much just screwing with you now
Remember that one time we were all like “OH GOD COMMUNITY!” and NBC was all like, “Hahahaha, you’ll read everything we say until you know Community’s fate?” Well. Here’s another announcement.
-
Community isn’t one of them, but there is tangentially related Community news within. And some pretty dire-sounding show ideas.

Speaking of which, let’s get to the news you care most about: MARISKA HARGITAY IS NOT LEAVING LAW AND ORDER: SVU, AND WILL IN FACT HAVE A LOVE STORY WITH HARRY CONNICK JR, a revelation that Todd relates caused “audible gasps” in the TCA audience. Indeed, take a moment. And when you’re ready, there is also some less thrilling news about Community—specifically that the show will return “in the spring,” which is still not a date, but that’s all you’re getting. Greenblatt apparently feels bad for not clarifying that the show wasn’t canceled, but not so bad that he’s bothered to establish a more concrete timeline for its return. Nor is he guilty enough to hint at any sort of decision about a fourth season, an announcement you can expect some time around the May upfronts, provided Greenblatt still has the will to get out of bed by then.
News from NBC. Bob Greenblatt is almost too dejected to be mad at. Almost.
