It appears “Community” and “Whitney” will not debut their new seasons next Friday.

According to Vulture, both series return dates will be delayed, with no airdate announced yet. The upcoming season of “Whitney” will be its second, and the forthcoming season of “Community” will be its fourth.

“Given the success we’ve had for the past four weeks – including winning the first week of the season in A18-49 – we’ve decided to continue to concentrate our promotional strength on our new NBC shows that are scheduled Monday through Wednesday and have therefore decided to hold “Community” and “Whitney” from their previously announced premieres of October 19th,” the network said in a statement.

“Without having to launch these comedies on Friday at this time, we can keep our promotion focused on earlier in the week —  plus we will have both comedies in our back pocket if we need to make any schedule changes on those nights,” NBC continued.  ”When we have a better idea of viewing patterns in the next few weeks,  we will announce new season premieres of “Whitney” and “Community.”"

What do you think “Whitney” and “Community” fans?
