Shows Like Community
Follow the lives of a group of students at what is possibly the world’s worst community college in the fictional locale of Greendale, Colorado.
Ranked by shared creators, cast, themes, genre, and network — not just generic recommendations.

Undeclared
College sitcom with an ensemble of dorm-mates navigating university life — the closest peer to Community's Greendale study-group setup.

Rick and Morty
Co-created by Dan Harmon — same story-circle DNA, high-concept absurdism, and meta-genre parody that defines Community's voice.

The Good Place
High-concept ensemble comedy with a misfit found-family, philosophical absurdism, and reality-bending premise — closest tonal kin to Community.

grown-ish
College ensemble comedy following a group of friends through university life — same setting and young-adult-finding-themselves arc.

A Different World
Classic college sitcom centered on a tight-knit group of students at a fictional school — the genre template Community both embraces and parodies.

The IT Crowd
Ensemble misfit-trio sitcom whose absurdist set-pieces and pop-culture parody match Community's sensibility.

Strange Planet
Created by Dan Harmon and starring Danny Pudi (Abed) — direct creative-DNA crossover with Community's wry observational humor.

Daria
Sarcastic, satirical school-set comedy with a misfit observer at the center — mirrors Community's deadpan wit and outsider POV.

South Park
Colorado-set ensemble of friends doing biting parody and social satire — shares Community's love of genre riffs and absurdist commentary.

New Girl
Quirky group-of-friends sitcom about twenty-somethings stuck together, leaning on character chemistry the way Community leans on the study group.

Friends from College
Ensemble comedy explicitly built around college friendships and post-grad reunions — adjacent thematic territory to Community.

The Big Bang Theory
Multi-cam friend-group sitcom with a geek-leaning ensemble — the mainstream counterpart to Community's nerdier, weirder take.

Parker Lewis Can't Lose
Stylized school-set comedy with surreal flourishes and rule-breaking energy that prefigures Community's reality-bending episodes.

Animaniacs
Wall-to-wall parody and absurdist gags — close kin to Community's pop-culture-saturated homage and bottle episodes.

Friends with Better Lives
Group-of-friends sitcom about life-stage comparison — overlaps on ensemble dynamics and friendship comedy.

Platonic
Ensemble friendship comedy from creators in the Apatow/college-comedy orbit — shares the chaotic friend-group register.

Family Guy
Cutaway-driven parody and pop-culture satire overlap with Community's homage style, though family- rather than friend-group focused.

Boy Meets World
Coming-of-age school sitcom with a life-lessons arc — a softer, sincere cousin to Community's school-as-family premise.

Big Mouth
Friend-group comedy with adult humor and high-concept conceits — tonally edgier but shares the ensemble-of-misfits structure.

On My Block
Tight-knit friend-group comedy-drama with a school setting and ensemble chemistry — shares the found-family core.
