Community fans were -- not shockingly, given their passion for the series -- quite upset when NBC cancelled the show in May, only for the show to get a surprising last-minute save from Yahoo, who will bring it back for Season 6.

At NBC’s TCA (Television Critics Association) presentation today, NBC’s Chairman of Entertainment, Robert Greenblatt, was asked about the show continuing on at Yahoo, considering NBC had chosen to pass on it. Behind-the-scenes, Community is primarily produced by Sony, but NBC Universal do have an ownership stake in the series that will continue as the show moves to Yahoo, which ultimately makes the new deal a very happy one for NBC.Greenblatt quickly replied “Great!” to the question of how he feels about how things worked out, noting, “Yahoo’s in a different business than we are, trying to build their platform, and they made an extraordinary deal. We're the co-owners of that show, and we’re going to make money on it right away, which wouldn’t have been the case if it had been on the network for another year."I asked Greenblatt how close a call it was renewing or cancelling the show this season – since, given the “Six seasons and a movie” mantra for the series, there were a lot of expectations that if NBC had brought the show back it would have been for the last time, somewhat letting them off the hook after next year.Said Greenblatt, “You’ve never off the hook. That sixth season thing was created by them. I’m surprised they didn’t say 'Ten seasons and a movie!' And it was before my time. It just didn’t make sense for us to have another season of it at that level of audience. And I don’t know if we’ll ever know how many people watch it on Yahoo. I guess we will. I’m curious to see if they can get a bigger audience than we did.”
