In tonight’s episode of the tv show Community, the study group begins their European History class with Professor Noel Cornwallis (Malcolm McDowell) after losing out in registration for “The History of Ice Cream.” To make matters worse, the group encounters the return of the arrogant German students from last season, which Jeff and Shirley faced over the foosball table. Meanwhile, much to Dean Pelton’s dismay, Chang makes his return to campus.
The show is a smart comedy series about higher education – and lower expectations. The student body at Greendale Community College is made up of high-school losers, newly divorced housewives, and old people who want to keep their minds active. Within these not-so-hallowed halls, “Community” focuses on a band of misfits, at the center of which is a fast-talkin’ lawyer whose degree has been revoked (Joel McHale), who form a study group and end up learning a lot more about themselves than they do about their course work.
Community season 4, episode 4 “Alternative History of the German Invasion,” airs Thursday February 28, (8-8:30 p.m. ET) on NBC .
