"Basic Genealogy" is the eighteenth episode of the first season of the American comedy television series Community. It aired in the United States on NBC on March 11, 2010.
During Family Day at Greendale, Pierce (Chevy Chase) tries to re-connect with his step-daughter Amber (guest star Katharine McPhee) who becomes attracted to Jeff (Joel McHale). Britta (Gillian Jacobs) gets spanked with a switch (beating stick) by Troy's Nana (Fran Bennett) and Shirley's sons cause havoc for Abed's father (Iqbal Theba). In the end tag, Troy (Donald Glover) and Abed (Danny Pudi) are trapped in the student lounge vending machine.
Production
As made clear by their respective production codes, this episode was filmed before the episode Physical Education but aired after it. Jeff makes a comment to Leonard in that episode about attending family day, which occurs in this episode. As with all of their Community releases, Sony DVD and Mill Creek Blu-ray feature the episodes in their airdate order rather than production order.
