Dat is goed nieuws denk ik. Althans, geen concurrentie van Big Bang op hetzelfde tijdstip meer dan.

Edit: wat BrainOverfloW zegt dus

Geen goed nieuws. De vrijdagavond is de laatste stap voor cancellation.

quote:

FRIDAY: Even though Greenblatt says none of his comedies are entering the season with the assumption that it will be their last, it's hard to imagine either "Whitney" (at 8) or "Community" (at 8:30) surviving in a death slot. On the other hand, "Community" was barely renewed to begin with, given its ratings (and the fact that, unlike "30 Rock" or "Up All Night," NBC doesn't produce it). Four seasons at Greendale Community College at a minimum seems miraculous, frankly. Of more concern than the timeslot, in fact, is the possibility that creator Dan Harmon (whose contract is up at the moment) might not return next season. Greenblatt acknowledged that the show might have to move on without its chief creative voice.

"I expect Dan's voice to be a part of the show somehow," Greenblatt suggested. "I'm not sure exactly if that means him running it day to day or consulting on it. I haven't been part of those conversations because we've been in scheduling meetings for four or five days."

Greenblatt also said he's trying the two sitcoms out at 8 in hopes that a scripted lead-in might help "Grimm," which returns at 9, followed by "Dateline."

Ik bedacht me laatst dat de karakters van Community ook erg goed zouden kunnen werken als animatieserie, zou mij geweldig lijken!

De friday night death slot is ook meer een specialiteit van Fox, niet zozeer NBC.

quote:

The network is betting big on comedy, putting one-hour comedy blocs on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, and continuing with its low-rated, four-hour comedy bloc on Thursdays. (Seriously, the only thing they changed about it was moving Community. It makes little to no sense.)
...
Thursdays:
Another assumption: NBC picking up all of those comedies meant this night would be radically overhauled, perhaps with The Office moving to 8 p.m. to lead into a night of all new comedies, or to sandwich two new comedies between it and Parks at 9:30 p.m. Well, Parks is at 9:30, where it’s bizarrely struggled in what would seem to be the most natural timeslot for it. But the rest of the night consists of returning comedies, and low-rated ones at that.
30 Rock, which struggled in the 8 p.m. hour this spring, is returning there, where it will presumably face off with the surging Big Bang Theory, which does even better in the fall than it does in the spring. It’s followed by Up All Night, one of this season’s most curious ratings stories, in that it did fairly well Wednesdays at 8 p.m., with little to no promotion and absolutely no support, then completely fizzled when it was given the post-Office slot, the strongest place for a comedy on the network. Perhaps NBC is banking on female-driven comedies being a better fit for this hour than Community, which has substantial overlap with the BBT audience. Or maybe it’s just writing the hour off. (Interestingly, Greenblatt would not say that this is the final season for 30 Rock, as rumored, in the conference call, according to the Deadline report linked above.)
The 9 p.m. hour features what it does right now, with Office—renewed for 22 episodes with only a handful of regular cast members returning—leading into Parks & Recreation. They’re the only two shows on the network’s lineup to receive a full-season order, so it makes sense that they’d be paired, even if Parks has struggled more behind The Office than it has behind Community or 30 Rock.
...
Fridays:
Okay, are we still calmed down? I hope so.
Here’s the second of NBC’s multi-cam/single-cam hours, and it’s by far the most bizarre, if only because it all but forces Community fans to root for the ratings prospects of Whitney. Whitney leads out the night at 8 p.m., which makes sense, given that it’s cheap to produce, then leads into Community at 8:30 p.m., which already has the Internet singing songs of sorrow for how the series will be done after the next 13 episodes.
That’s absolutely a conclusion one could draw from this move, which makes no sense on its face. But Greenblatt refused to say this was the show’s final season, as he did when moving Chuck to Fridays, and he also maintained there was the possibility for more episodes to come. (He also didn’t seem all that concerned about Dan Harmon leaving the show.) Greenblatt’s primary reason for the move seems to be shoring up Grimm, which has turned into one of the network’s bright spots and is the highest rated scripted show on Fridays. And, indeed, this makes a certain amount of sense, since the two series court roughly similar audiences and could help each other in certain ways. Community’s audience is nothing if not loyal, and if even 75 percent of it follows the show to Fridays, it could, conceivably, run there for years to come at its current budgetary level.
Yes, Friday is often a death slot, but NBC has a rich history of using the night to prop up critically acclaimed shows it wants to renew but also wants to minimize its financial risk on. Obviously, those shows were under different regimes, and if Community comes in and draws an 0.5, it’ll be gone. But the move isn’t the immediate cancellation notice it might seem to be. After all, Fringe made it three seasons on the night, under surprisingly similar circumstances, and it never had anything like Grimm there to prop it up.
Then again, the show is also paired with Whitney, so who the hell knows what NBC is thinking.
The night closes out with Grimm, staying put perhaps so NBC can see if it can X-Files it, and Dateline: NBC.
