Yahoo Giving New Life to Cancelled Sitcom ‘Community’

Variety: In its sixth season, the idiosyncratic sitcom “Community” is an eccentric as ever. But this time around, the Sony Pictures TV series has decamped from NBC to the more freewheeling environment of Yahoo, where it debuted March 17 with two episodes. Subsequent installments of the 13-episode run will be released every Tuesday. Where the marriage with NBC was often awkward, the hope is that the move to Yahoo will free the show from the structure of broadcast TV. The question is whether that liberation will make for genius comedy – or push the series off the rails.
