    What are the chances that Parks will be renewed for another season!?

      sepinwall Pretty good, I would say. Of all of NBC's terribly-performing comedies that aren't The Office, Parks is performing the least terribly, and is fairly consistent no matter the timeslot or lead-in. Plus, NBC owns it. Nothing is a guarantee, because Greenblatt (or, if he's fired, his replacement) could just decide to burn most of the current schedule to the ground, but I feel more confident about its future than I do about any other comedy on the network, other than maybe Goon. (And only because Goon is a Greenblatt show. But it's fallen off a cliff since The Voice went away.)

      Christine This is really all I care about (in regard to NBC's schedule, anyway).

    I had guessed most of these. Grimm runs straight through from now until the finale, Community misses 28 March so that 1600 Penn can finish then runs through to finale (though Jeff stated in season one he has a dinner reservation for 23 May 2013 to celebrate getting back his BA).

    No word on renewal for Community yet? I really wish they would have learned their lesson from doing that to Chuck every 6 episodes

      Cordy I would imagine that's a decision that needs to be amde after they have seen pilots. The show is not their worst rated, but also far from the best. It is relatively steady though (besides that big premiere bump) and still gets decent critical praise. I could see them keeping it on, but it's just as likely it will be gone.

      And if they weren't already planning on this to be a possible last season then they were living in a fantasy world and it's their own fault.

    rerun

    Is "Revolution" even back on the air yet? I lost interest after a few episodes but was interested on how it performed after its long hiatus.
