They still haven’t faded away! (CREDIT: Screenshot)

Six seasons, a movie, and an infinite amount of time spent thinking about every single episode.

Community is famously my favorite show of all time, which is to say I spend a lot of mental energy on the folks at Greendale. And specifically, right now, I’m thinking a lot about ranking the episodes. I’ve thought about that in the past, and here I continue to do so today.

Some podcasts dedicated to rewatching Community have recently finished their runs and presented their episode rankings, and it is the end of another year, so why not reveal my own personal rankings as well at this very moment? Why not indeed.

I may update this list at some point in the future. In fact, I probably will. (Indeed, I’ve already done it before.)

I’ve divided this list into sections called “tiers.” Let me know if you’d like any further explanation about this feature. (Thank you for the idea, Tiermaker.com!)

What’s wonderful about this show is that every single episode has at least one moment (usually more than one, in fact) that makes me laugh and warms my heart.

And finally I say to you, my fellow Human Beings, please let me know any thoughts you may have. Maybe you can share YOUR rankings with me and the rest of the Community Community.
