YES. The maniacal and obsessive mind of Connor Ratliff presents us with a practical plan! I am doing this NOW.

HOW DO YOU SAVE A TV SHOW?  

…

This is a long rambling way of saying: one thing you can do to help save Best Friends Forever, if you are so inclined, is to buy a season pass on iTunes. It’s like 13 bucks for the whole first season, which is basically the same price as if you were to individually buy the 4 episodes they have for sale individually.

It might sound like a dumb idea— after all, if you like the show, you’ve presumably seen the 4 episodes that are already up, and they’re available for free on the NBC website or hulu. The idea of paying money for TV shows that are available for free already is ridiculous. I feel dumb typing this.

BUT: it is one way of showing support for the show, and it’s basically like paying for a movie ticket (if you live in a big city where movies are crazy expensive) or a pizza or some other thing that costs as much as a pizza. And if the goal is to convince NBC that there is a devoted audience that wants this show on the air, then maybe BFF selling a lot of iTunes downloads is one way to get their attention. It’s like voting with your dollars to say “keep making more of these, please. Here is some of my money!”

I know if FOX had put Arrested Development episodes for sale on iTunes back when it was on the bubble, I would have happily bought them all if I though it had even a small chance of saving the show. It worked for The Office. Maybe it can in some small way contribute to keeping BFF on the air long enough for more people to discover it…

AGAIN:  GO HERE IF YOU WANNA BUY A SEASON PASS OF “BEST FRIENDS FOREVER” ON iTUNES!

This Thursday night’s episode of Community (8 p.m./National Broadcasting Company) was written by noted redhead, chili-enthusiast, and Detroit-adjacent native Mr. Sussy Buckets! a/k/a Chris Kula. I am giving you over 48 hours notice to either:

1. Watch the show live!!!! Remember when people did that? Those were simpler times. 

2. Go over to your friend Jim’s house and watch. You guys haven’t spoken in a while, wouldn’t it be nice to catch up? You can get all the awkwardness out of the way before the show starts and then let your shared laughter during those 30 minutes of Community Episode # 309 erase the awful memory of what he and your ex-wife did in the backseat of his Impala the night of your high school reunion.  

3. DVR it and watch it at 10, after you jerk off to Whitney, like you do every other week. 

4. Rent out the Screening Room at the Beverly Connection for a private viewing party. 

5. Stream it on your computer the next day like a total freak. 

These are just five options! Whatever you do, just make sure you watch. Reblog and tell everyone you know to watch! If we can get just a dozen extra people to watch, it’ll be the highest-rated episode of Community ever!!!
