Mind vomit - Community Feelings
Do you know why I need community to stay on air, at least until it's natural end?
Because as much as I try to be happy, I'm half dead inside. I'm in mental distress over family issues and the only time I forget about it is when I watch tv. Tv is like a beautiful alt!world where anything imaginable can happen. Where my being a TV fanatic isn't made fun of. Where there are people just like me living boring scripted lives.
To which you reply 'Big deal, there are a ton of shows you could watch instead.'
No. Yes, there are a variety of shows on air that are awesome, but none of them interest me the way community does. Community is the only show I have yet to forget when it airs. Thursday morning I wake up excited because I know my favorite group of half psycho college students are going to get into some crazy shananagains that will most likely help them grow in some way. I used to get this excited about bones but them the finale happened and I had to wait 5 months for a new episode, but by the time it aired I lost interest.
To which you may say 'Sometimes that happens to a show'
And I'd come back with ' yes. That happens to shows that have reached their climax. Every season since Bones started I've wanted them to 'bone' (get it?) And since they have ... there is nothing left but to have the child and end the show. Community is about a group of college students that become friends. Since the beginning you just want them to graduate, which if the show were to continue on the track it's on that would mean 4 seasons. As much as I love the show and look forward to the next episodes, my mind is always on the series finale where the group is sitting around a table at Mort's sharing a steak dinner (or veggie delight in Britta's case) and hopefully ending with the musical montage that Abed is continously building in his head.
What I need is closure, something that I've never gotten before in my life (and I'm not holding my breath on it though I look great in purple.) And that is something this show can provide. As much as I love watching it at 8 on City (I live in Canada and we don't get NBC), I would watch it as a webseries on some obsecure website I would have to pay for.
What I'm trying to say is that polling data can be wrong, but direct feedback from fans on almost every major social networking platform is the raw data you need to tap into and listen to. We are not shy about proclaiming our love for this 22 minute sitcom as long as you will listen.
