On our NBC Ratings Report Card, which measures the relative performances of shows on the network, Community earns a “B-” and is the eighth highest-rated scripted show on the network this season.
The bigger question will be if both co-star Chevy Chase and creator/showrunner Dan Harmon will return to the series next year. The two have been having a very public feud and it seems that one of them may leave the show.
Executive producers Neil Goldman and Garrett Donovan are leaving already as they’ve now signed an overall deal with 20th Century Fox TV.
What do you think? Are you glad to hear that Community will be back. Do you think the show will end up getting a full season order?
