This 2009-2015 show has a fairly large cult following. It didn't actually do great ratings-wise so got canceled in the last season which was then picked up by Yahoo for its final season. This beloved by its cult show had a total of 110 episodes, each being about 22 minutes long. Except that is season 6 when the episodes were around 28-30 minutes long.


This oddly diverse group of misfits come together as a study group that help each other through a variety of issues and odd encounters. The show takes place at Greendale Community College, a school that is terrible for education but great for messing around. The school offers classes such as Ice Cream Tasting, Grifting, Baby Talk, Theoretical Phys Ed, and Can I Fry That?(the answer is yes) Of course it has some "real" classes such as Spanish, Biology, and Billiards. 

But those are just the classes, mostly we have our Jeff- the talker, Brita- the against everything, Pierce- the old racist, Shirley- the black housewife, Troy- the black sports star, Annie- the jewish over achiever, and Abed- the arab aspberger super computer. Oh and there's Chang- the chinese wants to be in the group.

This school allows these people do pretty much whatever they want. Pillow Forts, dry land Sailing, Talent Shows, Mafia style Chicken vendors, and of course the infamous Paintball Wars. There are multiple Paintball episodes throughout the series.

There are rumors here and there about a movie, but nothing substantial that I could find.

The show is a great comedy, but does go downhill after season 4. 3 of the main characters end up disappearing and they attempt to add a few new ones here and there. It remains funny, but kinda loses a bit of its heart. I enjoyed the entirety of it greatly, but only finished the last season out of loyalty. In all I give the show a 9 out of 11.
