You don't get a show as irreverent and meta as "Community" without pushing the boundaries of your writing. Episodes like "Remedial Chaos Theory" and "Biology 101" pushed the limits of what you would expect from a traditional sitcom. Whether it was using the concept of alternate realities to show each member's contributions to the study group or an homage to "2001: A Space Odyssey" that put on display the insecurities and fears of one of the main characters, the "Community" crew knew how to create a provocative and entertaining television show.
According to series creator Dan Harmon, coming up with such outlandish concepts required him and other writers to push themselves creatively. Part of that process involved asking themselves questions one wouldn't normally expect to ask when writing a sitcom set in a community college. Learning where they could bend the rules of TV would soon become crucial to the success of "Community.
