Is Community a Postmodern Masterpiece?

Here's an idea: a PBS show that examines the connections between pop culture, technology, and art.

Is Community a Postmodern Masterpiece?

Season 2013 Episode 11 | 8m 27s

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.
