Community Blues


The flag of "Greendale Community College"

Years ago I used to watch a lot of shows on NBC. St. Elsewhere, Saturday Night Live, Late Night with David Letterman, the entire "Must See TV" Thursday night lineup of the '80s including The Cosby Show, Family Ties, Cheers, Night Court and Hill Street Blues. I find these days that the series Sarah and I follow are not on "regular cable" but the extended channels. Our favourites are Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead on AMC, and Dexter, Boardwalk Empire and Treme on HBO Canada. (Breaking Bad is easily our favourite among these; it's one of the finest things I've ever seen on television.) There are still a couple of shows we watch on NBC, such as The Office (although I think we might be done now because this past season was pretty horrible) and the occasional SNL. However, there has been one show on NBC the past three seasons that is so original, so deeply warped and so flat-out hysterical that it has become one of my favourite comedies of all time: Community.
