Community's Frankie Actor Had No Idea The Show Was So Popular On Netflix
Though late to joining the series, Community star Paget Brewster is frequently surprised by its fanbase and didn't know the show is very popular on Netflix. After making a guest appearance in season 5, Brewster joined the NBC sitcom for season 6 as Frankie Dart, a consultant hired by Greendale to help improve the college and rein in the antics of the study group and Jim Rash's Dean Pelton. Despite her initially acting as the straight foil to the group, Frankie eventually becomes another central member of the central Community characters and helps the school rise above its troubles.
Running from 2009 to 2014, Community struggled in its ratings but scored large critical acclaim through its six-season run, namely for creator Dan Harmon's unique humor and the performances from its cast Joel McHale, Donald Glover, Danny Pudi, Alison Brie, Gillian Jacobs, Yvette Nicole Brown, Ken Jeong and Jim Rash. After making a jump to the now-defunct Yahoo! Screen, Community came to a close and has garnered a large cult following since making its streaming debuts on Hulu and Netflix. Despite this popularity, one Community star is surprised to see the show's staying power.
