Last night’s Community was up 46% from its last pre-hiatus episode, with a 2.2 rating among adults 18-49 that’s far higher from its average over the past few months. 30 Rock (which directly follows Community’s time slot now) was also up 43% from last week, but The Office and Up All Night weren’t affected. So this definitely seems to be a fan response to Community’s return from hiatus! Granted, the fact that The Big Bang Theory was pre-empted by March Madness probably helped…but maybe the hiatus did some good for the future of Community after all.
