Yeah it's sad that we will never really know how well Firefly would have done because of the way it was mismanaged. But regardless of the fact that it was probably the network's fault that the show failed it did still fail (at least in the case of that show).
Community has had good network support however. The number of fans it has wasn't harmed by anything more than the show itself. I am actually eager to see if the number of fans changes significantly when it starts up as a web show. If the number does change dramatically we could see a big move to start new shows direct to the web.
There are already a few well-regarded Netflix and Hulu original series.
Arrested Development was, as far as I know, the first cancelled show to be revived on the web.
lol. Perhaps you should wait till your home alone to search the new competition.Curses, now I'm even more curious! Why is the forbidden fruit so sweet?!...
TG yeh don't google it - that's a sackable websearch.
Oh, that's all it is... Eh. I think Community will be the better series :P

Way to steal my thunder Kthulhu! :)
I didn't realize that Community wasn't the first. Do we have numbers on how well Arrested Development did? I will have to do a web search.

Not sure about numbers for Arrested Development, but I know quite a few people who were massive fans of the series in it's original form, and it seems to be a roughly 50/50 split as to whether they loved or hated the 4th season (the web one).
As Kthulhu said, some of the original stuff that's out already has been really well received, particularly House of Cards and Orange Is The New Black (both Netflix I believe).
Maybe they'll finally catch the ass crack bandit!

To be even more fair than that, it was probably a reference to the Firefly debacle." To be fair, it doesn't help when networks screw shows over by airing episodes out of order, jerking their time slots around before they've had a chance to establish a fanbase, and so on. I'd count that as network failure."
To be even more fair, none of that happened to Community.
To be double-secret over-fair...
EVERYONE WITH A DIFFERENT OPINION THAN ME ABOUT COMMUNITY IS WRONG AND SHOULD FEEL BAD FOR BEING SO WRONG.*

I still gotta watch S5, but I hope S6 is a good finale season! Or maybe a normal season. But probably not.
