Here’s an idea: Community is a postmodern masterpiece. 

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. Previous TV series have been self-referential and culturally reflective, but none so successfully as Community. The show flips traditional expectations so consistently that it questions their importance in the first place. And it has brought the word “meta” into the cultural vernacular, to boot.

Community’s lost episode: After the gang is enrolled in an Introduction to the Nicolas Cage Film Appreciation course, they scramble to watch all of his films in one night. The endeavor drives them steadily insane.

Talked to the show’s writers this weekend. This is an actual Community episode that was considered but never shot. The bees! The bees! (via hulu)

Oh man, I would give anything if that episode existed and wound up on the internet on some obscure website, like a Ruben Blades fan site.
