One thing that is similar in Seinfeld and Community is the way both shows started. Seinfeld had this little sprinkle of Elaine/Jerry relationship drama in season 1, George was a much more honest every man character and Jerry really didn't have that ironic/sarcastic side that played so well off George in later seasons. Show really started to find it's groove, celebrated the fact that it was unlike any other sitcom, George became the worst human being alive and the show could get away with the most bizzare storylines and episodes.
Much like Community. We've seen such a change from the pilot and season 1. Certain character attributes have been heightened greatly and it took awhile for the show to find it's rhythm. It was suppose to be Troy and Pierce with the hilarious bromance over Troy and Abed. Britta was a strong female lead and Troy was a jock. Funny how shows change over time and how much fine tuning happens when the audience is involved. The Office Season 1 to Season 2 is another great example.
