Well, I love the characters in the study group! I have only seen season one, four and half of five. I can't stand the dean because he manipulates people, whines, acts wimpy and dresses like a woman a lot in season four. After attending a community college I know his character would not be allowed to be a college head! He should have been cast as a student. However, Chase is as good as he ever was! I would recommend two very well done, similar comedy shows are The Big Bang Theory and the Guild.

Big Bang Theory should be taking notes: THIS is the way to write nerdy characters and topics to a mainstream audience without insulting the demographic you are trying to portray while providing witty humor that does require the assistance of a laugh track. The show is a genuinely fun and amusing piece of TV programming, and comes highly recommended for those curious.

First of all, Community Colleges are 2 year schools, not 4 year. Their credits can he transferred to 4 year colleges and universities. Second, the humor is for brainless boys who hate school.
