　　Greendale社区大学的学生有些「特殊」。这倒不是说他们身体上有什么缺陷，而是因为他们的构成千奇百怪－－有高中时代的「差生」，有刚刚离婚的家庭主妇，还有「活到老学到老」的老人。没有了象牙塔的神圣感，社区大学圆了这些人的「高等教育」梦。
　　故事的主人公是一位说话节奏很快的律师（Joel McHale扮演），他本来有大学文凭，但那文凭却阴差阳错地作废了。不可能回学校重新念书，他选择加入社区大学。思想活跃的他很快结交了一群好友，并在他们当中组织了一个学习研讨会。事实上，他们对彼此的了解，可能比对书本和作业的了解更深刻，更有价值。

　　这部昔日的CBS旗舰剧集已经失去了一个好汉（Charlie Sheen被开除，Charlie Harper也随之死亡），现在又将失去半个好汉——因为种种原因（如果你相信CBS官方所说的「他要读大学」那你就太天真了），Angus T. Jones不再是该剧的常规演员，他的名字也将从片头字幕中彻底抹除。

　　Detective Inspector John Rebus is a hard drinking, unkempt, womanizing police officer whose job is his whole life. He is the most senior and most experienced DI at his station. He has a mysterious past that his partner DS Siobhan Clarke learns about from time to time through various comments Rebus makes. She is a young woman who wants to succeed, but does not have much of a personal life. She feels being paired with Rebus jeopardizes her career because of his unorthodox methods, but she is also fascinated by the man and is extremely loyal. DI Rebus' boss is Chief Superintendent Templar, a woman who was one of Rebus' lovers in a distant past. Their relationship is now one where they barely tolerate each other.
