NBC Contemplates (fka "Axes") 30 Rock, Parks & Recreation, Community

The only one I care about is Parks & Recreation, but I care A LOT. Abbreviated season for each, then it's over.





NBC Ending

I had been expecting this for Community & 30 Rock but thought P&R would make it. At least we get abbreviated seasons to wrap things up.

I care about Parks and Community. At least they're coming back for short seasons and tonight (for Parks) and next week (for Community) isn't the end end.

People are still skeptical with the truth of these reports

Yeah, I was gonna say, has an official word being given for Parks or Community? I've seen a lot of links the past few days saying they're expected to do the short seasons, but it seems like 30 Rock is still the only one that's guaranteed.

I couldn't get into Community and 30 Rock has just been Mad Libs for a while now. But I've adored every episode of Parks & Recreation.

TV line reports - 15 ep season of Parenthood and 13 ep season of 30 Rock so far......

I know Community is an acquired taste, but I haven't loved a tv show this much since Friends.

TVbythenumbers.com is reporting the 13 episodes of 30 ROCK but nothing on COMMUNITY or PARKS AND REC...

6 seasons and a movie......

To be replaced by the likes of Matthew Perry and Anne Heche? I think the peacock is losing its feathers.

Well COUGAR TOWN just got picked up by TBS. Maybe Comedy Central or someone else will pick up COMMUNITY. #wishfulthinking

Community actually got syndication deal with Comedy Central for previous episodes.

30 Rock is saved. Hopefully they end on gang-busters.

What is disappointing is that The Office is not even on the bubble when it is by far the weakest of the other shows. At worst they will get a 13 ep. wrap-up/set-up for the spin-off with Dwight as more people are jumping ship like Mindy Kaling.

Parks and Rec is hands-down the best comedy on television right now. It's a damn shame they don't have love from awards groups.

NBC are useless anyway, they have passed on Downwardly Mobile the new Roseanne and John Goodman comedy, they must be insane.

Axing Parks really doesn't make a lot of sense.

Apparently the origin of this came from a speculative piece in the NY Daily News that was subsequently picked up by a bigger publication and spread like internet wild fire.

TVbythenumbers wrote something very interesting about this that gave me a lot of hope. NBC is saying 30 ROCK's 13 episode order will be the end of the series, however they're not saying that at all about COMMUNITY so it's very possible they'll order more episodes during the season.

I'm really going to miss 'Parks & Recreation'. It is MY FAVORITE sitcom next to 'Modern Family'. Still, I am glad that there will AT LEAST be one final season to wrap everything up. It also had a good run.

"It's a damn shame they don't have love from awards groups."

Yeah, especially from the Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards. It should have been nominated in both of those award shows instead of 'Glee'.

The thread title is kind of misleading.

The thread title was based on the report I found at the time. I'll fix it.

Oh, I know. I don't judge you. Well, maybe just a little. :)

Up All Night and Whitney (very surprised) got renewed.

I am guessing since deals were just signed with The Office that they are now working on how to parlay the show into Dwight's spin-off.

'Parks and Recreation' is getting a full 22 episode season unlike '30 Rock' and 'Community'.


NBC renews 'The Office,' 'Parks & Recreation' and ... 'Whitney'?!
