After Long Hiatus, 'Community' Returns to NBC Thursdays March 15

Posted on February 22, 2012 - 5:45am by Jess

It's OK, guys. We can all finally breathe a huge sigh of relief -- Community is coming back! Series creator Dan Harmon announced via Twitter yesterday that the quirky comedy will be back in our lives -- and on our TVs -- on March 15!

The cast of NBC's Community Also in TV News: Jenny McCarthy To Get Down & Dirty on Reality Show!

"What you call 8:00, we call home," Harmon Tweeted. "Community returns to Thursday nights on March 15th." The show has been benched by NBC since early December, and when it was taken off the network's winter lineup with no explanation, many of us feared the worst. But it turns out it was just a matter of finding space for the show on NBC's already jam-packed comedy schedule. Though the series took a loooong break from airing, the cast and crew haven't taken a break from filming -- which means there are 12 brand new episodes just waiting to be aired!

But what can we expect from the Greendale "Human Beings" when they finally return? Well, TV Line is reporting that Annie and Britta will share some post-breakup girltalk bonding time, the whole gang will be impersonating celebrities at a Bar Mitzvah, the blanket fort is coming back, and Malcolm-Jamal Warner is going to guest-star again! Let's all say it together: YAYYY!!!

In order to make room for Community's welcome return, things over at NBC Thursdays are getting shaken up a bit. 30 Rock is being pushed to 8:30 p.m., followed by The Office at 9 and Up All Night at 9:30. Parks and Recreation (my favorite show in an already-stellar lineup) will come back April 19 at 9:30, after Up All Night completes its season.

Are you excited for Community's return?
