Shows that feel likeCommunity (2009–2015)
If you loved Community, the closest series we have are New Girl (2011), The Middle (2009) and Superstore (2015). All three share Community's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Flight of the Conchords (2007).
If Community hit the spot, these will too

A misfit ensemble that becomes a found family through pure hangout chemistry
The difference: Runs on charm and romance, not parody — no concept episodes

Losers by any scoreboard, but the show is entirely on their side
The difference: Traditional family sitcom rhythms — nothing formally daring

A dead-end institution redeemed by the weirdos stuck inside it
The difference: Plays it broader and warmer — the meta streak is missing

Basement-dwelling misfits, absurd escalation and jokes built for rewatching
The difference: Broad British farce in short seasons — no long character arcs

A screw-up's earnest self-improvement mined for absurd, big-hearted bits
The difference: One high-concept premise stretched across everything

An ensemble of clashing egos whose bickering keeps landing on affection
The difference: Mockumentary family warmth — mainstream where Community is cult

An underdog narrating his own humiliations with perfect comic timing
The difference: Grounded period memoir — the surrealism stays out of it


Social rules dissected until every petty grievance becomes a set piece
The difference: One abrasive man's show, improvised — no ensemble to root for

Comfort-food sitcom rhythm with a lead who never stops digging holes
The difference: A multi-cam throwback — zero irony about its own format

Smart losers sabotaging their own shot at being taken seriously
The difference: Satire with a target — tech, not television itself

A ridiculous premise played with real affection for its idiots
The difference: Cruder shock comedy — the cleverness is strictly optional
