2. Community Actually Made It To Six Seasons
Not every WTF moment has to be negative. Take the cult comedy Community, for example, and the fact it genuinely managed to make it to its oft-prophesied sixth season. So what, you might be thinking a ton of shows have made it to six seasons. But Community's victory is different. For a start, Community was up for imminent cancellation since the end of season three. Not only that, but the show's creator Dan Harmon was fired (and subsequently rehired a season later), and that's not to mention the fact that the show lost many of its main cast, including Chevy Chase, Donald Glover and Yvette Nicole Brown. That the show actually made it to six seasons, then, after being cancelled and losing several prominent members of the main cast is absolutely shocking, and many fans genuinely couldn't believe it. Recently, Yahoo! reported that they lost around forty million dollars pushing Yahoo! Screen (the online service which picked up Community after it was cancelled after season five) which adds to the utter WTF-ness of the victory.
