If NBC seriously thinks they'll get better ratings by basically destroying their entire lineup and releasing a bunch of new shows... good luck.

They probably actually will, at least at first!

If the shows don't get an audience then they'll tank, obviously, but if positioned and marketed correctly, people will try out a new show a lot easier than they will jump into an established show that they never watch.

Well yeah.

But USAToday is reporting that NBC has 6 new sitcoms lined up for this fall, which if true pretty much means that they are going to at some point be shuffling around Thursday since they are not going to try and put 6 new sitcoms on Monday-Wednesday when Thursday is "comedy night"

Even so, I'm actually kinda hoping that this is what 30 Rock gets--an abbreviated season where they know in advance it's the end.

That doesn't necessarily mean anything. NBC had 6 new comedies this season too, and Thursday nights were mostly untouched from last year.

I think he means they're cutting season 5 into two sections. I know the back half isn't suppose to air until 2013.

I think the article is partially true, because it's based on an article from Deadline saying that the four Thursday sitcoms are gonna get abbreviated seasons, but I think only 30 Rock and The Office are gonna be announced as ending in 2013. Parks and Community are getting one more chance, and I think next year probably will be the last for Community (though I think it will end up getting a full season), and I think they'll keep Parks around a little longer.

But this is all speculation.

"30 was renewed for a 13 episode season"

aka a "shortened season," which usually means the last season.

There have been lots of articles strongly indicating this possibility for 30 Rock all week. Community and P&R's inclusion always seems like an afterthought. Like an idea being kicked around that they haven't made their mind up about yet.

If you look, this one is dated 2 days ago.

Frankly, it doesn't make sense for P&R at all. It's handily their 2nd best sitcom and 3rd best scripted show (ratings wise, I mean).

(Also, canceled =/= renewed for final season).

Though obviously I would prefer Community to go for a few more years, I would be pretty okay with them just getting a fourth season and ending it there, lining up with the four year degree.

Shortened seasons for Community and Parks and Rec wouldn't even make any sense at all. Full seasons will put them both at syndication numbers, whereas shortened seasons would leave them both hanging shy.

One more factoid.

13 episodes doesn't quite put either Community or P&R at 88 episodes, a good number for network syndication, which they do not have yet that we know of (Comedy Central's deal doesn't count). I highly doubt they're only going to be renewed for only that amount for that reason alone. It doesn't make a lot of sense financially to squash it just short of that point.

For reference, Community would need 17, P&R would need 20.

Edit: That doesn't mean that NBC can't order just 13 on the front-end and keep their fate open for the spring. Doesn't typically happen that way, but I don't think there is anything to stop them from doing it either.

I haven't gotten to it yet myself, but I hear the first season is very off-putting to a lot of people.

Of course Community has similar issues, but it had more than a 6 episode first season to adjust.
