communityJeff Winger (Joel McHale) is a fast talking lawyer who has cut corners all his life and gotten by on his charm. He is being disbarred because his degree was not all he claimed it to be.

“I thought you had a degree from Columbia”.

“Yes, and now I need to get one from America”.

Winger goes back to school at a Community College and ends up meeting a collection of characters headed by actor Chevy Chase. Each has led a life somewhat less than what they expected. This oddball group forms a study group, originally just an excuse for Winger to date the pretty blonde. Somehow along the way, if he is not careful, this Peter Pan may grow up and learn something.

Community works. The Community is witty and fresh and the characters are surprisingly endearing. This show looked like it would be a one joke setup but the writers seem to be finding a way to keep the comedy fresh.
