USA

Television Series

Creator: Dan Harmon

Cast: Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie, Donald Glover, Chevy Chase, Ken Jeong, Jim Rash

An unlikely, disparate group of people become friends at a rather rubbish community college and indulge in various pop culture-parodying high jinks, in Harmon’s inventive and frequently laugh-out-loud hilarious if slightly lightweight and occasionally vaguely sentimental sitcom.

Season 1 (2009-2010)

After it turns out that his degree was somewhat less than authentic, Jeff Winger, a vain selfish lawyer, is disbarred and forced to enrol in community college in order to earn a legitimate degree, where he forms a Spanish study group with the intention of seducing a comely classmate, but instead reluctantly finds a new circle of friends, in this promising and hugely likable first season.
