I haven’t watched Community, but its existence always struck me as the first acknowledgement by network TV that community colleges are in fact a very important part of American culture.

Bryan, its witty, isnt it? Im a little surprised theres any gas left in that persona. And the next question is whether its got legs. I am guessing it wont. The Officer manages to give us ensemble madness and there isnt quite enough ensemble here. Thx. Grant

I attended Citrus Community College in southern California for 2 years, then transferred to UC Irvine where I graduated. I’d recommend the same to any student. It’s an easy way to practically cut your college bill in half.

That said, I think Community is a pretty funny show.

CCs are not a joke in CA. A very wide cross-section of the populace attended CCs. Many kids earn college credits while attending CC, either concurrently with HS or after.

Retirees and housewives attend for enrichment and socializing. Knowledge workers attend for career development.

She’s KAY Ryan by the way, but that comment is AWESOME. This is why she’s a poet and I’m not. Celebrates the bicycle and community colleges and egalitarianism in one succinct thought!
