''Community'' is an American television sitcom created by Dan Harmon that premiered on NBC on September 17, 2009. The single-camera series follows an ensemble cast of characters played by Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie, Donald Glover, Ken Jeong, Chevy Chase, and Jim Rash, at a community college in the fictional town of Greendale, Colorado. It makes heavy use of meta-humor and pop culture references, often parodying film and television clichés and tropes. Harmon based the program on his own experiences attending a community college. Each episode of ''Community'' was written in accordance with Harmon's template of "story circles"—designed to create effective, structured storytelling. Harmon served as the series' showrunner for its first three seasons but was fired prior to the fourth, being replaced by writers David Guarascio and Moses Port. After a lukewarm response from fans and critics, Harmon was re-hired for the show's fifth broadcast season, after which it had been cancelled by NBC. Yahoo! Screen commissioned a sixth season, which was released in 2015. ''Community'' received critical acclaim, with many critics praising the show's acting and writing. It ranked on numerous critics' year-end "best-of" lists for 2009, 2010, and 2011. While the show suffered from low ratings throughout its run, a cult following around it developed as it progressed, united by the mantra "six seasons and a movie", a line from the second season episode "Paradigms of Human Memory". Consequently, the show completed six seasons and a film adaptation is in development. The show entered broadcast syndication in 2013, has been released on DVD, and is available to stream through Hulu in the U.S., Netflix in the UK and Canada, and Stan in Australia. ==Premise== Jeff Winger is disbarred and suspended from his law firm when it is discovered that he lied about possessing a bachelor's degree from Columbia University. This leaves him with no choice but to enroll at Greendale Community College to earn a legitimate degree. Jeff quickly becomes attracted to his activist classmate, Britta Perry, and pretends to run a study group in order to spend time with her. However, his plans go awry when she invites Abed Nadir, a pop culture-loving nerd, who brings other classmates along: Shirley Bennett, a religious single mother, naive over-achiever Annie Edison, former high school football star Troy Barnes, and elderly millionaire Pierce Hawthorne. Despite their differences, the group soon become close friends. While taking select classes together semester after semester, the group members are often roped into helping the college's flamboyant dean, Craig Pelton, in his schemes to make the school seem more reputable, as well as having to deal with the antics of their unhinged teacher (and eventual classmate) Ben Chang. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Community (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
