NBC is coming out with a sitcom set in a community college. It will star Chevy Chase and a bunch of other people I’ve never heard of. I’m sort of disgusted by the description of the show from NBC and would have much preferred a dramatic show over this has-been ridiculousness. I’m sure this thing will be packed with insane students, ignorant teachers and mishaps in “woodshop.”

From the NBC “Community” website
“It’s been said that community college is a “halfway school” for losers, a self esteem workshop for newly divorced housewives, and a place where old people go to keep their minds active as they circle the drain of eternity. Well, at Greendale Community College…that’s all true. Community focuses on a band of misfits, at the center of which is a fast-talkin’ lawyer whose degree has been revoked (Joel McHale, The Soup). They form a study group and, in “Breakfast Club” fashion, end up learning a lot more about themselves than they do about their course work.

From Emmy Award-winning directors Joe and Anthony Russo (Arrested Development) comes a smart comedy about higher education…and lower expectations.”
