The wait is finally over Community fans! NBC has unveiled a premier date for ‘Community’ in it’s mid season line up today, slating the comedy to return to it’s old Thursday 8/7c time slot beginning February 7th, replacing ’30 Rock’ (which will have wrapped its 13-episode final season by then). So Community fans, you won. NBC (who as you know was supposed to debut the new season on Oct. 19th, but scrapped it at the last minute) has heard your calls.
