So remember how NBC was all “We’re gonna air Community on Fridays this fall” but then they were like “Wait no we’re gonna delay it indefinitely because of reasons,” and then the other week they were all “How ’bout we start it February 7th?” Well, here’s a fun little result of all that schedule-wiggling: According to TV Guide, the show had already made Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas episodes for this season by the time they got delayed, and as of press time all of those holidays were scheduled to happen sometime well before February 7th. If all this is true, and NBC airs this season’s episodes in order, it means Community’s Christmas episode will probably end up airing sometime in April or May. Obviously.
This is the most Community/NBC thing possible.

It’s hard for me to get too upset about this, as for all we know, the new season could be total rubbish.
The third season was hit and miss and that had Dan Harmon involved. Not extremely optimistic.
This is the smartest possible thing that NBC could ever do. Awesome.
So what´s the big issue, or if you buy the dvds you have to watch them on the holidays they were done for?
Certainly holiday episodes are a bit more impactful around their respective holidays. For a show struggling to find relevance with its audience, airing themed episodes at times when they are inherently irrelevant isn’t doing it any favors.
But this is all a bit moot. I doubt anyone believes NBC has any intention of renewing Community for another season.
At this point I don’t think they have the intention of airing this season, let alone another
At least they finished college which is more then most people can say…
Truth be told, none of us have seen the fourth season, so we should really wait ’till we, you know, see it before making any comments about it. I have no problem with this though, It honestly seems like something community would do anyway, christmas-april-ween or some shit.
