Of course, the question all TV critics get asked at this point is, “Why should I get attached to a show like this? Isn’t it just going to get canceled?” Well, for starters, there’s the practical fact that if more people watch the show this year, it won’t be canceled. It doesn’t need to beat The Big Bang Theory or Bones. It just has to hang with them and not embarrass itself. Secondly, there’s the fact that TV networks increasingly base renewal decisions on how much they think they can leverage passionate fans, either to DVR the show and watch it over and over or buy merchandise from the company store. And finally, there’s the argument that it shouldn’t matter what the ratings are. A wonderful TV show is a wonderful TV show. And Community has the potential to be not just wonderful but one of the best out there. It just needs time, and the only people who can give it that time are viewers.
