Community is a fantastic comedy series. As far as recent comedy shows I think it ranks right up there with Arrested Development as one of the best modern comedy shows and even should be considered among the best comedy TV series of all time. Not saying it's at the very top but it does deserve consideration. A lot of people --- mostly older people --- will not get the kind of humor that is offered in this show. It's very off beat and surreal and introspective. The comedy mostly comes from the characters. Jeff Winger who is going back to an awful community college to re-earn his law degree after his employers found out that he didn't actually earn one in the first place and he was disbarred. The hippie chick Brita who is Jeff's romantic interest and who is into every vegan/peace/environmental/feminist cause that comes her way. Super pressured to succeed innocent girl Annie. The two wackiest characters of all are a football star in high school (same school as Annie) who isn't the brightest bulb in the box and a wannabe filmmaker named Ahmed who is constantly turning their everyday adventures into TV shows, often narrating them or taping them for his bizarre film class projects. An older super sweet Christian divorcée who tries to keep everyone together and everything harmonious, and Chevy Chase is back in his old hilarious form in a new role, as a full of himself, totally out of touch and inappropriately racist/sexist/elitist, pompous heir to a napkin fortune. The characters around them like the Dean and their Asian-American Spanish teacher are also great. Check this show out and you might not get it but if you do you will probably be immediately hooked like we were!
