Huh…. look at that. Community has been picked up by “Yahoo Screen.” I’ll grant that I’m not really a “fan” of the show per se (i’ve seen a couple episodes, they were funny enough, but you know, there’s a lot of tv out there) but I know a lot of people who were and “good for you” you get another season.
But for better or for worse I think it may be time to realize that television has devolved to a point where it is indistinguishable from podcasts. Be honest, show of hands, who the fuck has ever heard of Yahoo Screen before they read this announcement?
I mean, don’t get me wrong. Yay and stuff. I like that the internet provides an outlet for niche entertainment. God willing someone takes this to heart and I can get a network that gives me the second seasons of Automan, Manimal and Cop Rock that I have been waiting for.
‘Community’ Lives! Yahoo Has Saved Greendale for a Sixth Season
It might be too meta to write a celebratory story about “Community” being saved when we’re the ones saving it… but it’s “Community”!
I am surprised they haven’t made a CopRock movie.
Oh, man. MANIMAL – yes!!
Geoff: Dude, I was unaware you liked Manimal. Manimal was awesome!!!
Mark: I have long maintained that Cop Rock was ahead of it’s time. Its looked at as a laughing stock, but that’s just because it was 20 years too early. Look at the 2010s TV landscape. Cop Rock was totally part police procedural and part Glee. It would be the best thing on TV today!
Manimal. lol And Yahoo Screen? Never heard of it, and if someone has to subscribe to it with actual $$, no one will watch this. Too bad Netflix couldn’t have grabbed it.
Absolutely. I used to watch MANIMAL and MAGNUM P.I. with my aunt when I was a kid.
Yahoo Screen? That is not something I have on my tivo or apple tv as far as I know.
I have heard of Yahoo Screen before this announcement. Like two months ago, I was trying to watch all of Rolling Stone’s 50 best SNL skits. Googling found a bunch of them only on Yahoo Screen. And, of course, I was like “What the fuck is Yahoo Screen? Is this some distant remnant of the broadcast.com purchase?”
it’s good for searching snl skits; seye formerly of MAYA works there the last i heard.
I’m a fan of the show and I was really excited thinking that Netflix had picked it up, then had to say to myself, Yahoo What??? Is this another service I’m expected to pay $8 for just to watch 1 or 2 good shows and a few movies every few months? I’m happy that it’s not but I’d essentially given up on all things Yahoo when they started inserting batshit right-wing opinion pieces into their normal news stream.
