Ooh good news, Community is on Amazon Video. Gonna watch. One of the best shows of recent years. CommunityEpisode 1: Pilot (should have been called Breakfast club since that's the film it riffs). Very good. The gang come together.

Never heard of it. Synopsis, please. Comedy. Set around a group of misfits at Community College who are trying to get their lives back on track. The first five or six episodes are standard sitcom stuff but as the show continues it starts or get more weird. There's an episode where they're all animated, an episode where they're in a computer game, an episode where Jack Black appears as a regular character even though he isn't, an episode where they create a college wide fort with blankets, an episode with a time loop. Plus there's lots of episodes that riff on movies, for example an episode where they'r basically doing Goodfellas (with cafeteria chicken instead of drugs). Very clever and very funny. The Dean
