Is Community a Postmodern Masterpiece?

Season 2013 Episode 11 | 8m 27s

NBC's Community defies conventions of a traditional sitcom. But is it postmodern?

Though the TV show Community has never achieved huge ratings, it has a passionate cult following, including us here at Idea Channel. The show plays with genre and narrative in such a creative way that it brings to mind the cultural and artistic theory of Postmodernism.
