Community

TV show · 2009

Community is a quick-witted sitcom about a mismatched group of adults attending a fictional community college, covering all six seasons (2009–2015) across 110 episodes. The humor is smart and affectionate, but the show is firmly aimed at teens and adults, with frequent sexual innuendo, mild language, recurring racial and ethnic jokes through one main character, and occasional alcohol and substance references.

Best for confident teens aged 14 and up who can engage critically with satire and flawed-but-lovable characters.
