The upfronts — that strange, delirious time of the year when the major networks unleash their upcoming schedules — has been upon us since last week, and has churned out no shortage of interesting tidbits.

NBC already announced that Community will return for a fourth season (albeit a shortened one, at 13 episodes), which was a great relief to its millions (er, hundreds of thousands?) of fanatical viewers. And then NBC promptly crapped all over the goodwill it had just generated. Not only will Community be buried on Friday nights, its showrunner and creator Dan Harmon may not return.
