Starring Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Donald Glover, Alison Brie, Yvette Nicole Brown, Danny Pudi, Ken Jeong, Chevy Chase and Jim Rash, the show which originally ran on NBC before briefly moving to Yahoo&#8217;s defunct streaming service, continues to be a hit, topping Netflix&#8217;s streaming charts upon its return to the platform this spring.<\/p>\n<p>Reuniting for a virtual table read benefiting charity amid the coronavirus pandemic, the stars also engaged in a Q&#038;A, giving fans hope that the &#8220;six seasons and a movie&#8221; prophecy foretold by Pudi&#8217;s character Abed throughout the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> may actually come true. While the show&#8217;s cult following awaits any official announcements, we&#8217;re reflecting on some of the aspects that made <em>Community<\/em> one of TV&#8217;s best (and possibly most underrated) comedies.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Community<\/strong><\/em><strong>, Seasons 1-6, Streaming now, Netflix &#038; Hulu<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div data-hash=\"2\">\n<div> <picture><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Community\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/community-claymation-1014x570.jpg\"><\/img><\/picture><\/div>\n<p><span>NBC<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creativity\"><\/span>Creativity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One thing <em>Community <\/em>has that other shows do not is a wealth of creativity when it comes to the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach. Many shows do musical episodes, and some even go animated, but the variety present in this series offers a glimpse into what Dan Harmon\u2019s <em>Rick &#038; Morty <\/em>future would look like with the wildly wacky concepts explored. From the claymation episode entitled \u201cAbed\u2019s Uncontrollable Christmas\u201d and the <em>G.I. Joe<\/em>-like \u201cG.I. Jeff\u201d to the fan-favorite <em>Dungeons &#038; Dragons<\/em> episodes from Seasons 2 and 5, there\u2019s no limiting the creativity. The show also explored the concept of documentary style in \u201cPillows and Blankets,\u201d even recruiting future recurring star and Ken Burns doc narrator Keith David, and questioned what Greendale would look like if it were owned by Subway.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-hash=\"3\">\n<div> <picture><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Community Betty white\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/community-guest-stars-betty-white-1014x570.jpg\"><\/img><\/picture><\/div>\n<p><span>NBC<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Notable_Guest_Stars_Recurring_Roles\"><\/span>Notable Guest Stars &#038; Recurring Roles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Every series typically throws some surprising guest stars in the mix, and <em>Community<\/em> sets the bar relatively high with some seriously iconic celebrities. A few stars that made appearances throughout the show\u2019s run include Betty White as an anthropology professor, Jack Black as a classmate that the study group never seemed to notice at Greendale, Owen Wilson who also portrays a student, Tony Hale who plays a pottery teacher, and David Cross as the son of recurring star <em>Breaking Bad<\/em>\u2018s Jonathan Banks. Kumail Nanjiani showed up as a janitor in a few episodes, John Goodman also made his mark on the series through its run and Giancarlo Esposito appeared as Pierce\u2019s (Chase) half-brother in a special video <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>-centric episode. And for fans of <em>Last Week Tonight<\/em>, John Oliver\u2019s role as Ian Duncan throughout the show is also a delight.

They\u2019ve all either gone on to do incredible things or hail from some memorable work. Since the show wrapped Donald Glover has become a superstar in two industries, garnering critical praise with his series <em>Atlanta<\/em> and dominating the music world with his tunes performed under his stage name of Childish Gambino. Alison Brie currently headlines one of Netflix\u2019s flagship series <em>GLOW<\/em>. Gillian Jacobs starred in Judd Apatow\u2019s <em>Love <\/em>shortly after <em>Community<\/em>\u2018s run and can be seen in the upcoming season of CBS All Access\u2019s <em>The Twilight Zone.<\/em>\u00a0Joel McHale will also appear in the anthology series this year and recently helmed Netflix\u2019s <em>Tiger King<\/em> reunion episode.

Jim Rash recently appeared in Quibi\u2019s <em>Reno 911! <\/em>revival and Yvette Nicole Brow has filled her resume with co-hosting gigs on <em>The View<\/em> and <em>The Real<\/em> as well as starred in episodes of <em>Mom<\/em>, <em>Will &#038; Grace<\/em>, <em>Gentefied<\/em> and more. Chevy Chase \u2014 who left the show before its run ended in 2015 \u2014 has done some jobs since leaving the show, but he\u2019s still best known for <em>Saturday Night Live<\/em> and the <em>National Lampoon\u2019s Vacation<\/em> films. And of all their experiences, seeing this group come together onscreen, knowing what came for them after the show concluded, makes <em>Community<\/em> even more delightful.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-hash=\"7\">\n<div> <picture><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Community Abed Jeff\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/abed-jeff-community-1014x570.jpg\"><\/img><\/picture><\/div>\n<p><span>NBC <\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Six_seasons_and_a_Movie\"><\/span>Six seasons and a Movie<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For a series that didn\u2019t make six seasons on network TV, moving to Yahoo\u2019s streaming service for its final round of episodes, hope for the future still remains. Not many series can inspire such fanfare and excitement, but whether the \u201csix seasons and a movie\u201d prophecy is Abed\u2019s own invention or Dan Harmon\u2019s promise to viewers, fans can rest assured that things have a way of working out. \u201cBelieve me, it\u2019s probably going to depend on Donald\u2019s schedule, Danny\u2019s very busy and then Dan Harmon has like 2,000 <em>Rick and Morty<\/em> episodes that he has to do,\u201d McHale told TV Insider earlier this year. \u201cI know everyone wants to do it, so I think it\u2019s more possible than it\u2019s ever been.\u201d And for fans of Harmon\u2019s <em>Rick &#038; Morty<\/em>, they should know better than anyone that his predictions and plots have a way of working out \u2014 after all, he wished McDonald\u2019s Szechuan sauce back into existence after more than 15 years.
