Sadly, I am not sure if it will have a Season 4. Luckily, there is another show on there I like, Grimm.
 
Watched the first season only so far. Love it.

It's probably my favorite currently-running comedy. There is the issue as to how many seasons you can practically sustain a show about people getting associate's degrees, but I could see them taking the show beyond Greendale and keeping the characters interacting with each other regularly.

There's also the issue of how long should you drag out a show. It's better to kill it before it gets old. (Haven't seen the newer seasons, so I won't comment on whether or not this one has yet.)
 
Six seasons and a movie!

Season two seemed to me better than season one, but a few episodes in season three have been a bit of a letdown, to be fair. The quality isn't tapering off to the extent that a fourth season would be hard to pull off, though.
 
The producers recently said at a panel that they are "fairly confident" about Season 4 happening.
 
In all likelihood, they'll want to get enough episodes to sell the show for syndication. What happens after that is anyone's guess.
 
Thanks to this thread, I have enow spent the entire week watching all 59 episodes so far... ;-)
Excellent show. I especially loved the Troy and Abed bits. I thought that in some episodes, the racy remarks by Chevy Chase were just a bit too much over the top (altough it's great to see a show that doesn't seem to care about political correctness)

I am looking forward to the new episodes, and I think there is enough material for a fourth season, but then it should maybe be time to graduate? I hope that John Oliver will also return in the new episodes, because he is the only thing/one I have missed in season 3 so far...

Correct. Sony is big on getting their series syndicated and have often sold them to networks for cheap for that reason. Given NBC's very troubled state, however, it could also be likely that they'd want to hold on to a show with cult appeal (and more importantly, critical acclaim. Parks & Recreation's Emmys and press praise were key to getting renewed).
 
I like that any discussion of how long the show will last, inevitably will use a line from the show that no one actually said technically. (Well, depends how you define Paradigms of Human Memory, which is one of my favorite episodes).

Anyways, I started watching in the middle of season 2. The space race episode is considered by many to be the weakest of the whole show, but 10 seconds of that episode was enough to make me a fan for life.
 
I hope it gets a 4th season, I really liked the 1st two, and what I've watched of the 3rd has been good so far.

I loved that episode, with the little hints that City College's space program was abbreviated as 'CCCP'.
 
Yeah, that was funny.

But the very first scene of the show I watched (besides the tag while waiting for Parks & Rec) was when they were powerwalking to the simulator because Abed told them to - expect Pierce, who was just walking. Then Britta said she used to go in there with her friends to get . . . to praying, to which Shirley responded "that's nice".

That told me a lot about 4 of the 7 main characters, and they didn't even use any exposition.
 
The trailer for the rest of Season 3 seems good, with some really interesting plots hinted in the trailer (Troy vs Abed)
 
Comedy Central just bought a syndication license for Community's "first three seasons" in 2013. If Community is cancelled by NBC this year or next, maybe there's a better chance of CC picking up the show entirely.
