‘COMMUNITY’ RETURNING IN JANUARY. Infinitly Cool, Cool, Cool.

The show I love that by all signs shouldn’t have gotten a glorious fifth season and definitely shouldn’t have regained its creator is coming back this January. Rejoice, all ye faithful.

Briefly: The New Year will bring with it a return to Greendale. NBC has set Community to return on January 2, 2014, with back-to-back episodes starting at 8:00 PM. It’ll remain at the top of the hour the following week, while Parks & Recreation will take over the 8:30 PM starting on January 9.

Community is entering its fifth season, which isn’t bad for a show that seemed doomed for “brilliant-but-cancelled” status from the moment it arrived. The new season marks the return of series creator Dan Harmon, who was fired before Season 4. It’ll also be the first without Chevy Chase, who left near the end of last season, and the last for Donald Glover, who’ll only appear in five episodes. [EW]
