Community: Every Season Ranked Worst To Best

6. Season 4

Most Community fans knew which season would rank last on this article before even clicking on it. Series creator Dan Harmon did not work on this season, and it shows. Though still a decent season of television overall, Season 4 is just not Community.

Several of the characters don't act like themselves all year - Abed is more childish and annoying than usual, Jeff seems to actually care about doing well in his school work, and Troy and Britta barely acknowledge that they are dating.

Once Dan Harmon comes back, this out of character behavior is justified in future seasons by a methane gas leak throughout Greendale affecting everyone's behavior. As such, Seasons 5-6, as well as some fans, refer to Season 4 as "The Gas Leak Year."

The Gas Leak Year isn't all bad, with some episodes like Paranormal Parentage, Herstory of Dance, and Basic Human Anatomy working really well. However, even they don't hold a candle to the rest of the series. Plus, some plot lines, like Changnesia and City College's scheme to take over Greendale, take up too much time but end up going nowhere. w

Additionally, many of the season's more creative episodes, like the puppet themed Intro to Felt Surrogacy, are more concerned with the gimmick than the jokes and story, unlike the show's other seasons.

You won't waste your time watching the Gas Leak Year, and it is nice seeing the study group all together one last time, but it's nowhere near as good as the rest of the series.
