I gotta say ... I hated watching this on Yahoo!. Seems like a lot of buffering, sometimes the commercials looped way too long, etc. Not as solid as Netflix nor Hulu (though Hulu is now annoying me with a Pacifica ad that stops if you don't have the screen up ... really hope that's not the future).

Oof! Yahoo lost $42 million on Community (in addition to two other shows).
Could have been recovered by showing Annie's boobs..? But nooooo....

I imagine they used Community as a jumping off point to get a small amount of people onto Yahoo Screen in hopes that they'd begin to follow their original shows and help build an audience for it. The only problem with that is that their original shows were terrible.

Yeah, I am pretty sure they knew they were going to take a hit financially. Still going to side that they should have had more of Annie's boobs.

Yahoo Screen's problem is the app is terrible, the interface sucks, and they had no commercials (Which I didn't mind but c'mon you can't make money without em).

Thanks to crowdfunding, the movie is always a possibility. It's all about how dedicated the cast and crew are to doing it.

And I think Mars had a better (more dedicated at least) fanbase than Community. Bell is a bigger name than anyone on Community.

Plus it had fairly poor distribution. Yahoo Screen wasn't -- and still isn't -- on any of the current-gen gaming consoles (and only on one of the previous gen), and for weird people like me who'd prefer not to watch on a computer monitor or tablet, I didn't have any options I liked.

Rick and Morty (S02E03: Auto Erotic Assimilation) -- was a blink and you missed it second (@ 0:38), though I have a feeling "Now cancel it! Now bring it back! Alright now I'm bored" was pretty much Harmon verbatim.

Community might have more fans, but they're a wishy-washy lot. Many think it's dead and want it to stay that way. Many would like a movie, but don't really care that much in the end. Even those who want a movie might only want it if Donald Glover comes back. And if you put ten Community fans in a room, none of them would agree on what the movie should be about, or pay homage to. I can see it now: someone announces a Community movie that will basically be a two-hour paintball episode: half the fans rejoice, the other half complain and swear they won't see it.

Veronica Mars, on the other hand, was killed off before its time. Season 3 wasn't great, but a lot of that had to do with network meddling. When the plug was pulled, fans were in such an uproar already that they would have done anything to get it back.

I don't think Community fans are so wishy washy. I just think that they watched what was once one of the best shows on tv die a slow and painful death over the course of 6 years and at this point the thrill is mostly gone. If Community had been canceled after season 3, I would have lost my freaking mind. Instead, we got 3 more seasons, one of which was an outright abortion and two which were zombie seasons where we got to see the original cast fade away before our eyes. I'd love to see a movie, but only if Harmon had a meaningful story to tell and only if it included the original cast. I saw enough Community for Community's sake the last couple of years.
