You don't get a show as irreverent and meta as "Community" without pushing the boundaries of your writing. Episodes like "Remedial Chaos Theory" and "Biology 101" pushed the limits of what you would expect from a traditional sitcom. Whether it was using the concept of alternate realities to show each member's contributions to the study group or an homage to "2001: A Space Odyssey" that put on display the insecurities and fears of one of the main characters, the "Community" crew knew how to create a provocative and entertaining television show.
According to series creator Dan Harmon, coming up with such outlandish concepts required him and other writers to push themselves creatively. Part of that process involved asking themselves questions one wouldn't normally expect to ask when writing a sitcom set in a community college. Learning where they could bend the rules of TV would soon become crucial to the success of "Community.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared on on CNN’s AC 360 Tuesday night and minced no words about Texas’ new law limiting abortion or comments made earlier in the day by the state’s governor, Greg Abbott, defending the stricture.
The controversial new abortion statute outlaws all such procedures six weeks after conception. It does not, however, provide exceptions for cases of rape or incest.
Asked on Tuesday about that lack of provision, Abbott said: “Let’s make something very clear: Rape is a crime. And Texas will work tirelessly to make sure that we eliminate all rapists from the streets of Texas by aggressively going out and arresting them and prosecuting them and getting them off the streets. So goal No. 1 in Texas is to eliminate rape so that no woman, no person will be a victim of rape.”
