<text>  CNNFor years, theyve wanted six seasons and a movie, and at 3:01 a.m. ET Tuesday, fans got it ... almost. Theres no movie yet, but Communitys much-awaited sixth season made its debut. Not even cancellation by NBC could kill the fan favorite sitcom, as Yahoo streamed the first two episodes of the new season early Tuesday. The show appears to have suffered no decline in quality in the move to Yahoo, though cast member Yvette Nicole Brown now on CBS The Odd Couple had to leave the show for family reasons. The premiere briefly touches on this in its own way, with Shirleys absence sounding a lot like the setup for a spinoff as the character Abed points out, along with several other inconsistencies throughout the episode. The new Shirley, as Dean joked, is Paget Brewsters Frankie, who exists to play the disapproving authority figure to antagonize the former study group. Soon, the group was running a Prohibition-esque bar before they could learn to live with Frankie. And how about the end of the first episode, which gave us a look at the spinoff, The Butcher and the Baker, with Shirley and Steven Weber as a Southern lawyer? Episode two got even more out there, with Dean Peltons adventures in 1990s-style virtual reality and a less-successful plotline involving Brittas parents. Most interesting was the introduction of Keith David as 90s tech genius Elroy. Critics praised the show, with The Hollywood Reporters Amy Amatangelo saying, Everything fans loved about Community remains -- the first two episodes are chock-full of increasingly bizarre pop-culture references Portuguese Gremlins, anyone? and meta commentary. The show has seamlessly transferred to an online venue. Times James Poniewozik also liked it despite some reservations about the plot, writing, The first thing that matters is if the latest reboot still has the comedy goods, and it does. Soon after the show went online, devoted fans on Twitter had their say.
