I'm not entirely sure precisely when Community is supposed to take its little break, but I'm guessing it won't be until later in December. For the moment, you should maybe just record these episodes and not watch them and spool them out to yourselves over the course of the next few months, in a desperate attempt to pretend that Whitney isn't actually the show that's replacing it in the timeslot. Or, you could watch them as they come, with tissues in hand, knowing that the end of an era is fast approaching.

Or you could just watch one of these fine shows:

	It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia FX 10 PM: "Mac tells a befuddled priest why his fatness is the fault of the other members of the gang." That sounds exactly like what priests are for: fatness explanations.
	The Big Bang Theory CBS 8 PM: "Sheldon is jealous when Stuart (Kevin Sussman), a guy from the comic book store, asks Amy out on a date." Oh, Sheldon! If only I wasn't around, you'd be America's favorite dork.
	Person of Interest CBS 9 PM: "After learning the latest person of interest (Alan Dale) has connections to Cold War Soviet espionage circles, Reese and Finch learn how covert operations used to be handled." This episode is 60 minutes of a history lesson, as Reese and Finch do nothing but read wikipedia.
	The Mentalist CBS 10 PM: "The team retraces Jane's investigation, looking for clues about the killer of an undercover cop." Where's Dr. Dre been lately? Are they checking up on his alibi?
	Community NBC 8 PM: "Dean Pelton asks the study group to star in a new commercial for the school; Abed films the project for a documentary." A documentary about their impending doom, perhaps? Enjoy the show while it lasts!
	Parks and Recreation NBC 8:30 PM: "Leslie uses her new tourist attraction to spend more time with Ben; Ron and April encourage Andy to further his education; Chris assigns a logo redesign to Tom and Jerry." SO MANY NAMES I CAN'T KEEP EM STRAIGHT.
	The Office NBC 9 PM: "Andy tries to motivate the staff by taking them on a field trip to Gettysburg; Robert asks those who stay behind to come up with the company's next big idea." Opinions on this season's episodes? I hear nothing but bad things, personally.
	Whitney NBC 9:30 PM: "Whitney and Alex try to adopt a dog, but the pound owner (Lisa Lampanelli) makes the process more difficult than they anticipated; Roxanne seeks financial advice." My ex-girlfriend used to call me a pound owner, but it wasn't because I liked dogs. Hey-o!
	Prime Suspect NBC 10 PM: "Jane has a tough time persuading a young girl to describe the man who murdered her parents in a New York hotel room." Episode eight of this show, which means there are probably only five left before they run out! Will it even make it to the end of the half-season? We'll find out together!
	The League FX 10:30 PM: "Ruxin gets an unexpected visit from his father (Jeff Goldblum); Andre's sister (Sarah Silverman) goes on the prowl at the gang's thanksgiving dinner; Taco makes an edible investment; Kevin and Jenny deal with the family's new pet." The term "edible investment" is a good euphemism to cover up how much money you spend on booze, I guess.
	Bones FOX 9 PM: "Booth and Sweets are given access to a toy company's headquarters after an executive's remains are found packaged with a Prince Charming doll; Sweets prepares for his gun certification test; Brennan worries about motherhood." That's a lot of stuff going on in an hour-long episode. Although I guess they don't even need to show the worrying part; we can take it for granted that that is happening at all times, it being a mental state and all that.
	The X Factor Fox 8 PM: "Rihanna performs; a contestant is eliminated." So do they eliminate one contestant a week? This show's going to take forever; there are still ten of them left.
	Beavis and Butt-Head MTV 10 PM: "The boys make a documentary about teen obesity; Butt-head realizes he is paid for bathroom breaks." Yup, sounds like Beavis and Butt-head. Have I ever said that I kind of rankle every time I have to hyphenate Butt-head? As a proper name, I yield to Mike Judge's wishes, but no one hyphenates the word "butthead," do they?
	Burn Notice USA 10 PM: "Michael runs point on a CIA rescue mission; Sam and Jesse go undercover as microchip specialists." Reminds me of the time I had to go undercover as a microchip specialist.

Will enjoy Sunny and The League as usual and I'll try not to tear up when I watch Community. *already tearing up*

Community being cancelled would be 100x worst than Arrested Development, and I don't care what anyone else says. I would have no faith left in television straight up.

Putting on all that weight for a sitcom is ridiculous.

Man, I'm feeling so down about Community right now.

Well I would have alot less faith. We can always watch Whitney right?

Great use of "rankle."

The only reason I watch NBC is for Football, Community and The Office. Don't mess it up NBC!

The Office is pretty MEH this year, but I still watch it for Jim and Dwight shenanigans.

No need to worry about how Prime Suspect will turn out, as they only ever produced eight episodes and NBC has announced there will be no more.

I am a fan of Community and it makes me sad that the series is being canceled, but wouldn't the opposite be much worse? Isn't it better to leave with a feeling of loss and good memories than to run the show so far into the ground that it's no longer even acceptable. If you think I'm wrong just keep your tv on NBC for an hour after Community

Don't go community! Please don't gooooooooo! :(

Matt, I actually feel like as a whole The Office has been better than last season. I think any fan of the show would agree it's golden years are behind it, and have been for some time, but it's still an enjoyable show to watch. Especially if you've been watching since the beginning. The last episode was pretty good. That being said, I think there are better comedies on tv right now. Community being one of those and I'm surprised to say, Happy Endings is freaking hilarious too.

I was having a conversation with a friend about Community the other day and we both agreed that while it has its duds, when a Community episode is good it ranks up there with some of the most brilliantly written stuff I've ever seen on TV. And the only real reason the duds feel so bad is because its other episodes are so fantastic.

Office episodes have been great this season, don't know where you've been hearing "nothing but bad things", other than the usual band of idiots bashing the show because it lasted longer than 12 episodes.

Also, this:

All I watch on Thursdays is Community and Person of Interest....one of these things is FAR better than the other.

I really wanted 6 seasons and a MOVIE

I really wanted Community to last at least 4 seasons, so we could see them finish college with a bachelor's degree and see a graduation episode.

Uh, Whitney ISN'T the show that's replacing it in the time slot. It's 30 Rock. Or if you want to mince words, since 30 Rock is usually on Thursdays anyway, Up All Night. Whitney is moving to Wednesday, no?

Give me 4 seasons of Community at least please, the cast at least deserves to get their characters to graduation.

Looks like I will be watching It's Always Sunny, Community, and Top 20 Most Shocking on TV tonight. The news regarding Community getting pulled by NBC disappoints me, but such is life. Back when Arrested Development was canceled, I was outraged that FOX dared to pull the plug on such a great series.

Uh... yeah, it sucks that Community is going off the air! What a bummer. *Never watched Community*
