Community

Boasting a crack ensemble cast led by Joel McHale as wisecracking disgraced lawyer Jeff Winger, Community follows the misadventures of a quirky group of students at Greendale Community College, an institute of less than higher learning. Creator Dan Harmon and his collaborators have led the show from strength to strength in its second season, alternating high-concept episodes—zombie apocalypse, the Rankin/Bass homage of “Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas”—with quieter character-based outings, building a beguiling universe of lovable misfits who sneak right into your squishy sentimental heart while bandying snarky dialogue and fomenting gleeful absurdity. We’re happy Community could return to PaleyFest this year—maybe we’ll get them to tell us exactly what Britta was up to in that blanket fort.
