Since this might be my last chance to speak on it, one last treatise in favor of Community (or a Winger-speech, if you will):

Lots of sitcoms are about found family- workplace shows are usually built around this concept, shows like Friends and How I Met Your Mother are about choosing your own, etc.

Community was no different, but what in my estimation makes it special is that it’s explicitly about how those people help you grow, no matter what age you are. It’s written large with Jeff and the younger characters, but everyone is stronger and better because of their time in/alongside the Study Group. In between the spot-on homages to other shows and genres, there’s a beating heart that’s in there to the very end.

Six seasons and a movie!

C’mon David Brent! There wouldn’t be shows like Community without The Office (UK)
