That’s why - even when an episode doesn’t completely take succeed - “Community” should be admired for cojones, for not currying favor with the “Two and a Half Men” masses, and for consistently respecting its audience, meager though it may be. After all, who makes a Skulls homage on a primetime network TV Show? It may be the most esoteric show on television, and certainly on network TV, and its consumption is not designed for pop-culture amateurs. That’s not in any way disparaging: It’s an irrefutable fact.
When you consider why “Community” is so consistently low-rated, an episode like last night’s puts it all into perspective: It’s a wacky show.
