Yahoo Screen Won’t Say if Its Season of Community Was a Success

Sponsor Honda is happy, though

Last June, Yahoo Screen sent Community fans into a frenzy when the streaming service closed a deal, just hours before the actors' contracts were set to expire, to pick up the cult sitcom that had been canceled by NBC after five seasons. At the time, creator Dan Harmon joked in a statement, "I look forward to bringing our beloved NBC sitcom to a larger audience by moving it online."

Almost a year later, as Community's sixth season, and its first on Yahoo Screen, draws to a close—the season finale was posted on June 2, making all 13 episodes available for streaming—the once-deafening buzz about the show among its loyal fans has been reduced to something closer to a whisper.
