"Looks like class is dismissed over at Community \u2014 maybe for real this time.\nBeloved by its cult following that was never quite big enough, the series will end its tumultuous run on NBC after its current fifth season, the network announced Friday. Though NBC\u2019s cancellation is final, the show\u2019s producer, Sony Pictures TV, can shop Community to other platforms (you can almost hear an exec saying \u201CGet Netflix on the blower!\u201D from here).\nSEE ALSO: When Hollywood Turns Asperger's Into a Joke\nWith that inevitable drama brewing \u2014 Kickstarter? A Community movie? A web series? Trust us, these fans are never going to stop \u2014 let\u2019s take a minute to reflect on what the Community cast has already been through:\nFrom its very beginnings and throughout its five seasons, Community was considered on the bubble for cancellation. It\u2019s never had strong enough ratings to feel comfortable, leaving its stars to openly campaign on social media for viewers.\nIts creator and mad genius showrunner Dan Harmon was booted from the show after Season 3, was clearly missed in a lackluster Season 4, and invited back for Season 5 \u2014 becoming a renegade Internet folk hero along the way.\nThen there was the Chevy Chase element of it all; the SNL funnyman was a fan favorite, but reportedly came to clash with Harmon and was difficult on set, parting with the show last season (though he would make guest appearances later).\nIt all dovetails with the show\u2019s incessant absurdity: life imitating art imitating life imitating art.\nOr as series star Joel McHale hyperbolically put it on Twitter:\n\n#darkesttimeline\n\u2014 Joel McHale (@joelmchale) May 9, 2014\n\n\n\n20 Times We Loved Community \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Imgur, Imgur\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Imgur, AaaaaaaaaaaJ\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Tumblr fuckyeah-childishgambino\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Tumblr EvenlySteven\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Imgur, TheRealKillYourself\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Tumblr fuckyeah-childishgambino\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Tumblr fuckyeah-childishgambino\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Tumblr fuckyeah-childishgambino\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Tumblr uofoklahoma\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Tumblr goblinsking\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Tumblr goblinsking\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Tumblr goblinsking\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Tumblr goblinsking\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Imgur, Imgur\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Imgur, Imgur\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Imgur, Imgur\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Imgur, Imgur\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Imgur, Imgur\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Imgur, Imgur\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHave something to add to this story?
