-- There was a fury of Internet drama today surrounding Community’s return. Citytv’s site originally listed Friday, Nov. 9 as the season four premiere date, but later changed it to Thursday, Feb. 7, 2013. Moments later, there was no premiere date. Later on, Community star Yvette Nicole Brown tweeted that Community would return to NBC on Feb. 7 at 8 p.m. as 30 Rock concludes its final season – but Citytv wouldn’t immediately confirm the Canadian premiere. An hour or so later, Citytv finally confirmed what we already suspected (since they have nothing else to simulcast), they’ll be simulcasting the Feb. 7 premiere. So yeah, Community is (almost) back! All you need to know: Community returns to NBC and Citytv on Thursday, Feb. 7, 2013 at 8 p.m.
