American television sitcoms have been very popular among viewers for a long decade. There is a numerous list of examples to name. If you find American situational comedies much entertaining then you must have watched all six seasons of Community. The credit of creation behind this American TV sitcom goes to Dan Harmon. The series aired for 110 episodes.
Where the previous five seasons aired on NBC TV Network from 2009 to 2014, the last season 6 aired on Yahoo! Screen in 2015 from 17th March to 2nd June. The previous seasons took place between 17th September to 17th April. The story of the Community sitcom takes place in an imaginary Colorado town of Greendale at a community college.
The American sitcom includes a talented star cast including Joel McHale, Ken Jeong, Gillian Jacobs, Jim Rash, Alison Brie, and many others. The show is filled with self-referential humor mostly dedicated to some phrases or artistic elements from films and television shows. What needs to be noticed in Community is the creator of the show Dan Harmon’s idea of bringing reflection of his own experiences at community college.
All episodes of Community run per the story template framed by Harmon. It is a technique used in the creation of a constructive and organized way of storytelling. For the initial 3 seasons, Harmon has been behind the role of showrunner. But coming into the fourth season, it lost pace among the fans. Even the critics gave it a thumbs down.
Witnessing the falling graph of Community, Dan Harmon was once again approached for the fifth season of this American sitcom. After this, NBC canceled the series. However, the show was brought back for the upcoming final 6th season by Yahoo! Screen. Even though Community went through a tougher phase in terms of ratings, the American sitcom gained an appreciation for its writing, meta-humor, acting, and direction.
It even managed to win the Primetime Emmy Award and 4 nominations. In 2012, Community also got the award for Best Comedy Series. Till now it has aired six seasons.
