@FN: We won’t know the alternatives until NBC officially cancels and that could be many months, but if you ask me that would be a coup for Netflix and getting the web savvy aboard their original programming early.
1. Another network (esp. ABC) picks it up to buttress their comedy offerings.
2. A cable channel like FX or USA
3. Netflix
4. A Netflix competitor that wants to make a splash emerges like Amazon, Google, or Apple
5. The end of days
I believe that could be the answer. Forget petitioning NBC, petition Conan who seems to have some pull at TBS, or petition Jon Stewart, who Donald Glover used to work for, and maybe move the show to Comedy Central.
I would love to see Community move to Comedy Central or FX. The idea of giving Dan Harmon that kind of freedom on cable TV makes me feel funny. In my pants.
NOOOOO! I’ve been Annie for the past two Halloweens – this year: paintball edition I need at least five three more years of people not getting my costume
Yep, Whitney Cummings really does give great head. How else could you explain her poor excuse of a show still on the air and a good show like Community get taken off the air?
1. Parks and Rec was taken off at a similar point last season and it still came back. So pulling the show doesn’t necessarily mean cancelation.
2. It’s very, very close to 100 episodes which is the magic number the show needs to enter syndication. With just one more season it will reach that magic number.
3. The shows creators have said that they aren’t sure how it could continue after the 4th season–as the characters will most likely graduate. So I could see them coming to an amicable solution with the network where they agree to end the show after the 4th season rather than canceling it now.
Is there any hope Netfilx picks this up?

Here are the post NBC options as I see them:
1. Another network (esp. ABC) picks it up to buttress their comedy offerings.
2. A cable channel like FX or USA
3. Netflix
4. A Netflix competitor that wants to make a splash emerges like Amazon, Google, or Apple
5. The end of days
I firmly believe that all of the quality shows on NBC should secede to TBS. Conan has already set up a beachhead.

Community could very easily replace Suburgatory on ABC Wednesday nights.

I wouldn’t freak out just yet.
Why?
1. Parks and Rec was taken off at a similar point last season and it still came back. So pulling the show doesn’t necessarily mean cancelation.
