IMO, the bar has swung to Modern. Plus there is some nice eye candy on that show.
Am I missing any other shows?

Not really competitor for the best show, but that show is ridiculously funny. And only a few episodes in.
What is this about? Is it safe to assume it has something to do with Mexicans (i.e. the -landia part)?
lolwut? its about portland.
as for 30 rock, that show has been pretty weak for a couple seasons. i like parks and rec the most out of that huge thursday comedy block on NBC. i heard good things about Community, and enjoyed the D&D episode (i'm a nerd), but overall i haven't loved what i've seen from it.
I figured that, but we say -landia instead of -land, which made me think it was somehow Latino-related.
Record-related example:
Community is the funniest show on TV right now though.
And Big Bang Theory stinks on ice.
Yep.
F/X: Always Sunny, The League, Louie, Archer
CBS: Two and half men, how i met your mother, big bang theory
NBC: Thursday night.
Fox: Sunday night
ABC: modern family, mr sunshine, cougartown?
gotta go with F/X as far as quality, NBC as far as quantity. i'll sit and watch 4 out of the 6 shows on thursday night.
this should count now that it's regularly shown on IFC - and bc any other comedy on tv is its son.
i don't understand how big bang has blown up (no pun intended) this way
Come on now.
office has been funny the last few episodes. was disappointed early on in the season. they need to figure something out for when Carrell leaves.
I think it's a combination of:
Nascent "geek" subculture, facilitated by the Internets
Popular lead-in show
Indeed.
Although modern fam gets a good amount of chuckle from me and the mrs. Phil is the dude.
- Parks & Recreation (quite possibly my top show and most eagerly anticipated each week)
- Archer (just so crazy that I sometimes can't believe what I just saw or heard)
- Community (really taking chances with these genre-based episodes)
- Modern Family (completely re-inverts the family sitcom)
- Big Bang Theory (the most traditional sitcom here that still manages to be funny, especially since they brought Blossom on to play Amy Farrah Fowler, who is a brilliant character addition!)
All the various incarnations of Louis CK's shows should be included in the Top 5 as well, but since none are on right now, and for some reason I feel his shows as something beyond and outside of the genre these other shows are in, I'm going to leave him out of this list for now.
Close contenders are:
- 30 Rock
- The Office
But unfortunately both of these shows have become more hit-and-miss for me in recent seasons.
I still want them to be great, and they still deliver on some weeks, but they aren't quite the sure-shots they once were.

Shameless is a great show I'd suggest to anyone...it's funny but it's not really a comedy.
I just started watching this tonight. I kinda like it. :latte: ??
