I love the references where they slam the plot line from last season.
NBC's Community

Per the way they Slammed NBC at the end of the show...tells me they're already aware of being cancelled...and Abed's comment about how if it didn't make it, it would never make it, basically referred, in theory, to the idea that if NBC doesn't pick up the 6th and final season, it won't be picked up anywhere else, and the movie won't be made. So it's highly possible, and I would HATE IT, that this is the end of Community.
Please, help convince me i'm wrong, I'm a giant fan of 6 seasons and a movie...and would love to see it all happen.

I agree that it sure sounded like they were mocking a decision already made, but I can't see that if a decision was already made, it wouldn't already be out there given that this was filed a while back. Nothing like that stays a secret for long.
I had high hopes for season 5. While it was good overall and had some classic episodes, I think having the premise shift so far away from the original concept harmed the show overall quite a bit.
Beats me what the ratings were or what the advertisers think (not that this is the only reason a show gets axed anymore), but I'm still hoping for the sixth season, of not the movie as well.

I really hope they come back for one last season, announce it as the final season, and close it out with some paintball justice (the way 4th season tried to do, but failed horribly at). I won't be surprised if the show finally gets chopped. I saw a stat last week that showed that the viewership is way down from previous seasons, and after 2 floundering seasons it's gotta be tough to keep it on the air.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately... the first 3 seasons were absolutely AMAZING! I wouldn't have changed a thing about those first 3 seasons. I wonder if things would have been different if Harmon would have remained at the helm for the 4th season.

I wonder, too. But I don't feel Harmon being there or not had that great an impact. Look at how we all thought the show would suddenly be great again with Harmon... then it wasn't quite as good as we all thought it'd be (come on, let's be honest about that).
I think the things that have hurt the show are as follows, in my order of least to most contributing:
*Dan Harmon's presence
*Jeff's lawyer status being a non-issue suddenly
*Those tensions between Jeff, Brita and Annie becoming less an issue
*Chevy Chase leaving the show
*The entire premise being no longer the focus of people struggling to complete a degree at an insanely-run school
*Donald Glover leaving the show (much more so that Chevy, that Troy/Abed thing was a real strong part of the show)

I totally agree with everything you just said. But I also feel like there were some things that Dan Harmon had to undo from last season.
Ideally I think it would have been the best if Dan Harmon would have been in the driver's seat for season 4, and they would have figured out a way to close up the series at that point. I think there was enough material and drive leading into season 4 that it could have really fell into the feel of the first 3 three seasons if it would have had good direction. Of course it doesn't really matter since this isn't what happened. Just day-dreaming I guess.

I'm not coming out of my room until someone picks up the 6th season!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Still, I can't say I'm all that horribly shocked. Without Glover and the show's focus away from it's initial premise, I had a feeling this was going to be the end. At least they managed to wrap everything up, for the most part. There'll always be a Greendale!
I think I'll wear my GCC shirt (the only t-shirt I ever bought from a network store) tomorrow to represent...
To me, it's ironic, as just last week, I found myself on the campus of the community college I went to in the 90s for the first time since 1996. I no longer live in that area and my nephew's fiance was getting her nursing pin at an event there. felt so odd. The funny part was I was thinking more about Greendale than I was about my real-life history at the place (probably because it'd changed so much I didn't even recognize anything I was seeing)...
