“
Surprisingly, my favorite new show of the season isn’t a drama at all, but a comedy, albeit a dark, twisted one, especially if you stop to ponder the dismal lives of the main characters. I speak of Community, the Thursday-night NBC single-camera comedy about a diverse group of—how to put this kindly?—losers enrolled at Greendale Community College in Colorado, an institution of higher learning that reluctant student Jeff Winger —a smug, silver-tongued lawyer forced back to school when his bachelor’s degree is declared invalid—refers to as a “school-shaped toilet.”

is an American sitcom that originally aired on NBC from 2009 to 2014. It premiered on September 17, 2009 and ran for five seasons before being cancelled by the network on May 9, 2014. It was eventually picked up for a sixth season by the online streaming service Yahoo Screen. It was created by Dan Harmon and produced by Krasnoff Foster Productions and Sony Pictures Television. The series followed a disbarred attorney and his Study group attending a quirky community college. At first it was a more traditional sitcom but soon started incorporating more meta influences along with homages and parodies. Community consistently struggled in the ratings but received acclaim from critics and gained a sizable cult following, particularly online.
