A hash tag as a title for this post? Since when has this blog been
Twitter? The answers are yes and never. The hashtag seems simplistic
yet its a banner. An emblem of a movement to bring back the television
show Community. I recently performed an informative speech on Community, and a persuasive speech on watching Community and to save Community.
This was for my Comm 101 class which meant that I had to do research
and have sources to cite. It added to my credibility, but what really
set my speeches apart from others was my usage of ethos.
NBC decided to put Community on the sidelines to see how other
shows would fare in its place. This was distraught for the dedicated
fan base. There are many groups banning together to show their support
of the show in hopes to influence the NBC executives to bring back Community for
six seasons and a movie (hopeful). I am a huge fan of the show and
think that it deserves to stay on the air not because I like it, but
because that the show goes out of its way to break the molds that
television sitcoms are wearing out in today's television.
In my opinion Dan Murray summed up the scenario best in his article on Badhaven.com.
"In the end it’ll come down to the viewing figures and how much money can
be made from the show so all of these gestures may prove to be moot. I
guess what’s impressed me is that people are trying their best to save
something they love and hey, in a world where nonchalance and
indifference are prevalent standpoints, it was nice to see that people
take an interest and fight to save something they love. Honestly, the
main reason I’m even writing this is because the latest episode involved
an observational gag that made me laugh out loud. You know the laugh I
mean, that embarrassing laugh we all have, the one that’s too loud and
too long and which you never truly want other people to be around when
you do. It’s the laugh that means you’ve just seen something that’s
actually brilliant…………and I, for one, don’t want to lose that."
