As we reported yesterday, NBC was delaying the previously scheduled premiere dates for both Community and Whitney due to the success of their current fall lineup and was waiting for the other shoe to drop on whatever borderline performing comedy the wheels fell off of first which we predicted would either be the awful Guys With Kids or the lackluster Animal Practice.
It certainly didn’t take long for our prediction to come to fruition as NBC wasted no time in reviewing the overnight ratings for Animal Practice and canceling the show immediately. Not a surprise, here, as we noted in our review, there was far too little monkey on this show for it to ever find success. What’s particularly hilarious, though, is that it was placed by the awful (like, one of the worst comedies in the history of television, awful) Whitney and NOT Community! Community fans, you just can’t get no love. NBC is probably punishing you for being such a bunch of whiny crybabies.
