REMEMBER: When this show was originally airing on NBC's Thursday night lineup, it was the MOST DVRed show EVER on television...however, time-shifted views were NOT counted by Nielsen ratings system.
According to Nielsen's, the most watched TV show at the same time was the malignant "Big Bang Theory."
That means that, at the same time Community was setting records in time-shifted watches, the "most-watched while airing" show about "nerds," Big Bang Theory was really only popular with people who were too dumb to know how to set their DVRs to record it.
If Nielsen had been counting actual views instead of only counting self-reported views on the air-date of a show, then Community would have rightfully lasted longer and had more influence and that pile of garbage that is "Big Bang Theory" wouldn't never have gone on to make the world even stupider than it was without it.
@wowmachineradio Community would have lasted longer had Sony not fired Dan Harmon in season four. They were never able to find their footing again after that.
