Every cloud has its silver lining, and while the East Coast is still searching for theirs after a horrible night, the storm surrounding NBC’s cult favorite Community has finally found its rainbow. After the firing of the show’s creator Dan Harmon, a planned move to a dreaded Friday night time slot, an indefinite delay on their planned Oct. 19 debut, and yet another groan-worthy incident involving Chevy Chase, Yvette Nicole Brown released some much-needed good news via her Twitter account this morning:

Yep, you read correctly: The show will again air on Thursday nights, meaning you’ll get to enjoy Greendale with Parks and Rec instead of, well, Whitney. Brown then followed up with a joke from the gang’s (hilarious) video making light of their then-unknown premiere date, noting that Feb. 7 is totally the new Oct. 19:

February 7th is #October19th! Who knew?! 🙂

Until then, fill your “Troy and Abed in the Morning” mug with the beverage of your choice, hug your Norwegian troll, and rejoice in the fact that we’ll all be Human Beings again soon. Classic Winger.
