Greetings Community fans,

The Community Twitter army is throwing our second night of "Renew Community" HashMobs. We can use the voices of all Community fans to help get the word out as the NBC Upfronts draw near.

What's a HashMob? It's an hour of tweeting when all fans set out to make 20-30 tweets for the hours using a particular hashtag. Tonight's event is 7-8pm ET and our hashtag is #RenewCommunity. (Please also include @NBC)

If you follow http://bit.ly/11CTaPS, you can watch all the tweets being made.

The goal this week is not only to trend (as we usually do), but also direct our tweets to @NBC, so they hear our opinion loud and clear.

You can find all the necessary information here: http://maegwen.tumblr.com/post/49149865115/what-do-we-want-renewal. There's information there on time zones, how to schedule tweets using Tweetdeck and more.

We're asking that fans keep their tweets classy, and not rain abuse upon NBC. I know we don't really have to say this to Community fans, because they're the best ever, but we know emotions are running high.

Finally, we have a hashtag plan in place for when we find out the show's fate. It is found here: http://maegwen.tumblr.com/post/49226857805/community-hashmob-plan-for-the-good-or-not-good-news.

Follow me, @maegwen, or @communitynut for all future details.

Thank you so much for your time and hope to see you on Twitter!

I made a Troy/Britta video about last nights episode.
I cried a lot ok?

here @ my journal

Hello, Communies! I think last night’s episode proved that if you have an Oscar-winning writer acting on your TV show, it probably wouldn’t hurt to let him or her write an episode. The reverse may or may not be true, though I think most would agree that John Irving gave a powerful yet understated performance as the Stationmaster in The Cider House Rules. Anyway, let's see what the reviewers had to say about "Basic Human Anatomy," shall we?

( Conceal me what I am; and be my aid for such disguise as, haply, shall become the form of my intent.Collapse )

Ratingswise, "Basic Human Anatomy" was a return to form after the relatively high ratings earned by the last two episodes, pulling down a series low-tying 1.0 rating/3 share in the 18-49 demo, though it should be noted that it was a bad night for broadcast TV in general, with Idol, Two and a Half Men, Person of Interest, and Elementary also earned or tied series lows, and TBBT, Wife Swap, and Parks and Recs saw season lows. Things looked brighter on Twitter; the fan hashtag #KeepCalmAndWatchCommunity trended before the episode aired, and the official NBC hashtag #FreakyThursday trended during. (Actually, it began to trend even before the episode aired, as this screenshot, posted at 6:40 p.m. Central, demonstrates.

As always, thanks for reading!

"ADVANCED INTRODUCTION TO FINALITY"

05/09/2013 (08:00PM - 08:30PM) (Thursday) : ( Season Finale Details BelowCollapse )

Title: Applied Tactics to Urban Combat

Franchises: Judge Dredd, Community, 90s Batman movies, 007 James Bond, Heroes, Star Wars EU and a few other surprises

Characters: Pretty much everyone from the above franchises

Rating: 14A

Summary: With complete access to fictional worlds, one person decides to venture in for the purpose of making his own personal action film. The real question though is who he selects to play the roles.

A/N: To prevent any confusion, people should know this story is part of an established universe and it takes place after a set of stories. Those stories just haven’t been written yet, which would make previous events a bit of a mystery, but it doesn’t rely too much on those past events as this story for the most part is a standalone story. Things will make more sense as the story moves along.

A/N2: Thanks to hannahsmetana and woobloo97 over at fanfiction.net for being wonderful betas, and special thanks to hannahsmetana for coming up with the story title.

Hello, Communies, and Happy Boxing Day! I was hoping that this long-delayed Christmas episode would signal the end of the unseasonably cold weather we've been experiencing here in the upper Midwest, but in fact it's been snowing on-and-off most of the day, so I guess my theory that Community controls the weather needs to be reworked. Let's take a look at what the reviewers had to say about "Intro to Knots," shall we?

( It is too hard a knot for me t' untie!Collapse )

Ratingswise, the episode performed very well, earning a 1.3 rating/4 share in the 18-49 demo. On yon Twitter, both writer- and fan-promoted #Hitchmas and the NBC-promoted "MerryChristmas" trended during the initial Central/East broadcast. As for the interactive bingo game that could be played during the episode via Zeebox, a search on #zeeboc community seems to suggest they got a pretty decent participation rate, but I have no idea how that compares to other promotions they've done.

As always, thanks for reading!

Hello, Communies! First of all, big ups to lapacifidora for filling in for me last week She did a great job, as always. And hey, if anyone wants a copy of my church newsletter, the proofreading and editing of which occupied the time I ordinarily would have spent rounding up reviews, just let me know. Anyway, pretty great episode, and many of the reviewers liked it too. Don't believe me? Read on, if you dare!

(By the way, I'm going to try avoid using the past tense of word "feel" this week, but if I slip up, please mentally add "(no pun intended)" after each occurrence.)

( “Fie, fie, you counterfeit. You puppet, you!”Collapse )

Ratingswise, the show was up one-fifth of a percent, pulling in a 1.2 rating/4 share. It occurs to me that the share has remained pretty steady throughout the season; it always seems to pull in four percent of the sets in use. Consistency is good, I suppose. Over on the Twitter, #GetFeltUp trended in the US and worldwide.

Thanks for reading!
