3. Community
Community which premiered in 2009 is a hit comedy show which follows a group of students who attend a community college in Colorado. Most of the jokes are based on pop culture references and tv tropes, which is probably why it has gained such a following with all of the hipster kids out there. The show begins with Jeff, a suspended lawyer who invites a girl he has taken an interest in to a fictional Spanish class. However, when she invites her friends along to the class, and those friends also invite others, the study class becomes real and the group create a close bond with one another. Since its conception, Community has been nominated for several Emmys, People's Choice Awards and Comedy Awards and has managed to sustain high ratings all the way through its seasons. The show has been praised for its unique story lines and its focus on pop culture, and proves unique insofar as it takes a refreshingly unique stance to comedy television.
