        Any show named after the main character can run perfectly well without it.

          Friends would have been okay with Janice and Gunter. Community only needs the Dean. The big bang theory would have been better with just a black screen.

            Community only needs the Dean.

            I mean, technically, yes. It would work but it wouldn’t be Community. Abed is the cornerstone though if set alone wouldn’t work out, you also need sidekick Troy as an audience surrogate so we can all ride along. Troy&Abed on a space station would still be Community with different support characters.

            I think you mean The big bang theory would have been better without the big bang (although pre season 4 isn’t too bad).

      Ever since be took Leno‘s side in the Tonight Show feud between Leno and Conan, he became non redeemable to me.

      Nothing is obligating you to respond this way other than some amount of respect you have for this bigot. DONT sugar coat your ability to look the other way in the face of bigotry.
