As a handful of fan-favorite series left Netflix, a few more found their way into our watch lists at long last. Later in 2021, Seinfeld will join the Netflix ranks, but until then, a number of past favorites will hold down the fort. Of course, that includes Community, the underrated NBC darling that defied the odds and benefitted from the power of fandom to last for six hilarious seasons.

Community stars Joel McHale as Jeff Winger, an ex-lawyer who finds himself in hot water for lying about having a bachelor’s degree. Because of this lie, Jeff enrolls in a local community college to earn a real degree. Along the way, he forms a study group full of a motley crew of absolute characters. The study group gets up to all kinds of trouble on their path to higher education.

In spite of strong fan support during its run on NBC, low ratings ultimately caused the network to finally drop the ax after the fifth season. Community ran for one final season on Yahoo! before bidding farewell. While we’re still waiting for that pesky movie (six seasons and a movie, don’t forget it!), fans new and old can revisit all six side-splitting seasons on Netflix right now.
