As we reported, Community fans had been rallying together all week on Facebook and Twitter to plan an Occupy NBC event at Rockefeller Center to protest the show’s absence from the network’s mid-season schedule.
But, despite the buzz the event received in the media and on Twitter, only about two dozen people attended the protest, which took place at 1 PM today.
One of our Twitter followers, @yaypineapples, sent us the following message and photo:
There are about 9 people at the #savecommunity #sixseasonsandamovie #occupynbc rally 🙁
In the video above, which shows fans singing an altered version of O Christmas Tree in evil beards, you can see a few more people (we count about 20) which, considering most people are busy with holiday events and planning this week, really isn’t a bad turn out.
We give those who showed up a lot of credit, not everyone will stand up for their favorite shows, and like another one of our Twitter followers, @fuzzytomato, suggested, it would have been cool if NBC had at least hooked them up with some Community swag for their efforts, they were right outside the NBC Experience Store after all.
