I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Chicken mafia is "Contemporary American Poultry," and it's a favorite of mine. Definitely on the list!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am still living in hope that any given Friday (or, hey, any day, I don't care) will turn out to be Oct. 19th in our hearts.

But the "Watch Full Episodes" part of NBC.com (that also says " catch up on Season 3 leading to Community's glorious return") has "available until 1/5/13" tacked onto the recent episodes. So I would guess US and Canada air dates will be the same and are tentatively January.

hip deep in pie

CityTv pulled that premiere date.

But TVLine is reporting Community back on Feb 7: [link]

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Oh goody. We will have the Halloween episode in time for Easter!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Joel McHale confirmed Community will air on 2/7

Well, I do feel better having a date, but that is a long time from now.

I guess I can probably stop hoping that there will be more episodes ordered for the season, huh?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Futon Critic says 13 episodes.

Which would probably have the show conclude in May.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I got into stupid weird arguments with people who were saying that we don't know they won't pick up the back 9.

Are you new to TV? How do you know the term "back 9" and can't see the writing on the wall for this show, that every time it airs is another miracle that we grab onto and don't question?

If we see a season 5, it wouldn't make that guy right all along--it would just mean the very unlikely happened--they are not airing these 13 to raise the flag and see who salutes. We have already been counted.

Also, if yer lucky, airing Mockingbird Lane isn't burning off a $10 mil investment, and it's a backdoor pilot. If yer lucky.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Mockingbird Lane got some surprisingly good ratings.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's on Hulu Plus right now and I'm loving it. Amazing sets as you'd imagine from Fuller. Eddie Izzard is fantastic. Loving the premise and the way they've reimagined everything.

Marilyn, in particular, is far more interesting. She come off sort of like Emma on Glee by way of Olive Snook. Jokes could be a little tighter, but I appreciate the focus on grounding the world and characters somewhat. Portia looks gorgeous in her gothery, and Jerry O'Connell really does an interesting take on Herman.

Since I want it, I expect it will not be picked up.

xpost: Oooh, good news from le nubian to raise my hopes for that extra velocity upon dashing.
