How is Community a show that won't die? You see they're moving it to Fridays.

It was def one of my favorites..

I read an article once where people were trying to compare community to Big Bang theory and dude missed the key point. Big Bang theory is not a show for nerds, it's a show for people who think nerd culture is silly to laugh at those characters for enjoying the things they do, or being how they are. Plus the references are so old and dated, and purposely cursory( Batman, Superman, star trek).

Community has the following it does because it's not mocking the nerd/pop culture it talks about it celebrates it in a very real, and detailed way. It will never pull the audience of a show like BBT because instead of making a joke about sheldon making a video game. Community does an entire episode in 8 bit annimation and takes it very seriously. Instead of having them start a scene playing dungeons and dragons as a jump off to another conversation like on BBT, community plays the entire game and explores the character types as the shows characters. The alternate timeline senerio was not just a throw away comment followed by a laugh track because "how silly is that thought". It was the jumping off point to 21 minutes of genius writing and character exploration.

Community's fans obsess about it because it obsesses about stuff we care about and gets it right almost all of the time.

The times I've seen BBT, the jokes were the guys saying nerdy stuff. You weren't supposed to laugh at jokes, but the guys saying big words and referencing things only nerds would know.

The audience is laughing at them being nerds, not saying funny things.
