Community really was a miracle when you think about it. By all accounts it was frequently a shitshow behind the scenes, yet all the actors except the ousted racist speak highly of the show and express enthusiasm about the oft-teased movie the show itself predicted in its Six Seasons And A Movie quote/hashtag/premonition/wish. Origin of the phrase 'The Darkest Timeline' and that gif where someone comes in a room smiling and holding pizza only to find everyone screaming and multiple things on fire. The creator collaborated with the cast to incorporate aspects of their identities into their characters. The fans started a convention for it. A star-studded roster of guest stars, including John Goodman, Betty White (RIP), Giancarlo Esposito, and Walton Goggins. A social credit score episode two years before Black Mirror's. A clip show episode where none of the episodes the clips are from exist. TWO brand tie-in Subway episodes!!!
