Community just went from being on death row to beating American Idol in the 18-34 demo, and tying The Office in total viewers.
You could make a great case for this being the ratings upset of the century. It's practically unprecedented, and all but guarantees another season of the show.

I love Community and all, but holy ****.
No BBT and march madness being on.
Couple that with American Idol being at an all time low in terms of it's ratings, and... well...
Community's definitely going to fall next week once BBT comes back, no question about that. This is the first good news NBC's had about any of their comedies in months, though... and they're known for renewing shows at the drop of a hat if good news comes in. Whitney, for instance, got a full-season pickup two weeks into its run, even though its ratings were merely average at the time. Plus, now NBC knows that the BBT competition actually is a legitimate problem, and if (when?) Community's next season starts, it'll almost certainly be in a better timeslot.
FYI, I'm not even a big Community fan, though I do like it. But this actually is very exciting. A niche comedy on a dying network just had a major ratings spike, after being on hiatus... and on top of that, the ratings spike happened in March, a time notoriously bad for TV ratings. I've been following TV ratings for years, and I can't recall seeing anything like this.
