A lot of good series have this "open sandbox" format where the context of the show is just a vessel for whatever story the writer wants to tell. Examples: * Star Trek Holodeck * The various worlds in Sliders * The infinite worlds in Rick and Morty means there are no limits to what can be written in. * In Community, in a lot of episodes Greendale magically transforms in whatever setting is needed for the story: a court room where the murder of a yam is debated, a western/space battlefield where players duke it out for a grand prize, an entire city made of pillows and blankets, a zombie infested Halloween party etc. The upside is anything goes, the downside is the perceived lack of consequences (especially in the extreme case of Rick and Morty).
