In honor of Community's six episode marathon tonight I thought I would stump for my favorite sitcom. If Community was a candy bar it would the Kit-Kat in my candy store. I don't even know what the means, but it works for me.
If you don't watch this show already I highly recommend tuning in tonight. It's not just funny, it's touching, charming and witty. I don't even really like the sitcom genre and I still fell in love with it.
The highest praise I can give a show is my The Wire Award. The Wire is one of the only shows in history that didn't produce a single weak episode. Joining those hallowed ranks I think I can only say the same about The Shield and now (so far) Community. Every episode to this date has managed to make me laugh my ass off.
It's rare that sitcoms bother to try and become more than a 30 minute excuse to turn your brain off. And who can blame them? The highest rated sitcom in America is Two And A Half Men. And the only way that changes is when we, the viewers, reward clever shows like 30 Rock and Community.
Tonight's marathon includes an episode named Modern Warfare at 9:00 PM. For my money that was the best 30 minutes of comedy since Seinfeld went off the air. Give it a whirl, I promise you'll thank me.
