02.11.11 | Where've you been? Futurama actually did come back a few months ago.
Best shows:
1) The Simpsons (up to season 10)
2) Big Bang Theory
3) Seinfeld
I agree How I Met Your Mother is a great show.

Satellite
02.11.11 | words can't express how much fuck this list |
acorncheese
02.11.11 | HIMYM is one of my favorites as well. Though due to your description for it, I'm led to assume that you've never seen Seinfeld (though, granted, it is a different type of sitcom).
Here are some non-comedies that you should check out.
Lost
Breaking Bad
Mad Men
The Walking Dead
The Wire
Carnivale
Deadwood

lololololololololol
seinfeld? arrested development? community? |
acorncheese
02.11.11 | ^ and motherfucking lol @ person who listed Big Bang Theory above Seinfeld. |
Yotimi
02.11.11 | You never watched Arrested Development? Believe the hype, it is easily one of the best comedies ever. Also, Wonder Showzen is the most underrated comedy ever. |
Satellite
02.11.11 | friends fucking sucked. himym and the big bang theory fucking suck even more. arrested development > any other comedy ever fucking made. |
fsharptrit0ne
02.11.11 | I've been loving How I Met Your Mother recently, great show. |
Satellite
02.11.11 | wonder showzen is one of the most subversive/underrated modern comedies. |
acorncheese
02.11.11 | Seinfeld > any other SHOW ever fucking made. |
Yotimi
02.11.11 | Nice Satellite. And yeah Seinfeld goes without saying |
Satellite
02.11.11 | i grew up on seinfeld (mostly re-runs 'cause i was like 11 when it ended). my parents got me the scripts for seasons 1-3 for christmas. |
couldwinarabbit
02.11.11 | I forgot about Seinfeld it would make this list.
I have never seen Arrested Development and Micheal Cera is a douche. |
acorncheese
02.11.11 | I do love How I Met Your Mother, but it's really one of those shows that I watched for somebody else, and now that somebody is
gone but the show remains and has emotional value. I'm sometimes embarrassed when watching it around other people, but I do
still love it.
And for fucks sake, if we're naming comedies here, I don't think many shows match Always Sunny in terms of fucking
ridiculousness and hilariousness. |
Satellite
02.11.11 | how the fuck didn't i mention it's always sunny? fuck. |
Yotimi
02.11.11 | Dude AD is all about the writing, Cera won't bother you |
acorncheese
02.11.11 | "i grew up on seinfeld"
Same. My friends and I have joked in the past that the show has been a third parent to us.
|
Satellite
02.11.11 | michael cera is perfect for his role in AD. watch that series in its entirety at least 4 times and then maybe you'll be qualified to comment on tv comedies. |
DinoX
02.11.11 | Big Bang Theory you know it owns |
acorncheese
02.11.11 | It's been years since I've run through AD. |
Yotimi
02.11.11 | Btw, I loved 2 when it was on back in the day. Haven't watched it in so long though |
Josh D.
02.11.11 | I don't like most of these, and CBS in general sucks. Most of all, The Big Bang Theory, what a piece of shit.
The Office doesn't suck now, I lol'd a few times tonight. You think it isn't good now though, just wait until Carell is gone. Although, Will Ferrell is supposed to be guesting 4 episodes. |
Satellite
02.11.11 | it's been a while for me, too. every time i catch something that i missed earlier. the writing on that show was on another level. |
Yotimi
02.11.11 | The Office declined the last few years no doubt, but I think this season has been pretty good |
fsharptrit0ne
02.11.11 | If you havent watched Arrested thats a crime. Seinfeld is the greatest sitcom hands down |
Satellite
02.11.11 | the next generation was one of my favorites as a kid. it's really aged pretty well considering it went off the air almost 20 years ago. |
Satellite
02.11.11 | the part when carrell's and gervais' characters met was the highlight of the season for sure. |
acorncheese
02.11.11 | Curb, anyone? I'm so glad they brought it to cable, even if it is censored. Used to have to watch through torrents or whatever was on HBO On Demand. I fucking love turning on the TV and having a randomly selected episode to watch. |
Josh D.
02.11.11 | "Seinfeld is the greatest sitcom hands down "
I hate that people think that. AD is easily better, just to name one. |
Deviant.
02.11.11 | I like The Big Bang Theory but it's just another comedy at the end of the day, nothing overly special. How I Met Your Mother just annoys me simply because they're just dragging the whole "who's your mamma" thing on waaaaayyy too much |
Satellite
02.11.11 | speaking of HBO comedies, everyone needs to watch eastbound & down in its entirety. |
acorncheese
02.11.11 | I find it hard to compare Seinfeld to almost any other show. It's just near-impossible to compare it to AD as Seinfeld just does NOT have any sort of "story" to it. |
Josh D.
02.11.11 | It's unique in that way, but overall is what I meant. |
acorncheese
02.11.11 | Last season of Eastbound was FUCKING great. |
Satellite
02.11.11 | http://www.hulu.com/watch/6636/arrested-development-notapusy
spend the next 20 mins. watching this, rabbit. |
Deviant.
02.11.11 | Seinfeld's legacy was ruined by its last episode |
Yotimi
02.11.11 | No don't Rabbit, watch it from the beginning |
Satellite
02.11.11 | yeah, the last episode sucked. they made it about all of the random guest characters rather than the 4 main ones. dumb, dumb, dumb. |
Satellite
02.11.11 | "No don't Rabbit, watch it from the beginning"
well yeah, this. fuck what i said. |
Yotimi
02.11.11 | I think it was because they didn't want it to be sentimental. Their rule was always No Lessons Learned and No hugging. |
acorncheese
02.11.11 | I've never had a problem with the Seinfeld finale. I mean honestly...how the hell were they going to end such a plotless show? |
KeithStone582
02.11.11 | The office has actually been pretty funny lately. |
Deviant.
02.11.11 | It was kinda cool that they bought back all the old recurring characters but having the story as the 4 witnessing a crime and then going to jail over it was just a terrible way to end it |
Satellite
02.11.11 | all i'm saying is that they could have done that without bringing back the soup nazi and the bubble boy. |
Deviant.
02.11.11 | Nothing wrong with the bubble boy |
climactic

02.11.11 | Arrested Development was amazing, I have no idea how that was canceled. My favorite show of all time, however, was Whose Line Is It Anyways (the American version). Fuck, I've never laughed so much at a single show.

acorncheese
02.11.11 | "How I Met Your Mother is THE best sitcom. Unless you would consider Scrubs a sitcom."
Love them both, but that is utterly ridiculous. HIMYM is one of those shows that seems stupid as fuck when you know nothing about it, then you watch it, join the club, and you just don't give a shit about the ridiculous/lame aspects of it anymore. One thing I do love about it is that it often uses unusual chronology/episode structures. |
Ovrot
02.11.11 | Futurama is one of the greatest shows on TV
My favorites are Futurama, Whose Line Is It Anyway and Beavis And Butthead |

02.11.11 | I literally haven't kept up with Futurama since the first season. I remember watching the premier as a kid, lol. |

I watched it from the beginning so I never had that issue. |
acorncheese
02.11.11 | I probably wouldn't have kept watching if I wasn't doing it for someone else. I remember secretly hating it all the way through the
first season. Then I grew to love it. In fact, it was the whole "Ted and Robin" thing that really hooked me into the show. Season 2
is my favorite. |
Ovrot
02.11.11 | Yeah, new Beavis and Butthead later this year I heard, same animation and cast and stuff. Just modern videos.
WHICH WILL BE FUCKING HILARIOUS.

Truth. Anyone who says Scrubs sucks has no valid opinion.

Yeah, the past few episodes have been some of the best in the whole series I think. |

02.12.11 | "how is scrubs good seriously"
imo.....unique humor (don't really see which jokes you seem to think are used over and over), great characters (character development is probably much greater than you realize, as you obviously hate it and haven't seen all the episodes), good acting , perfect blend of humor and drama (seriously some of the most heartfelt, honest, touching moments i've seen in a show, let alone a comedy; also some of the most unique humor i've seen, though i guess it just appeals to some more than others)
obviously these are my opinions, but those are the most basic reasons i can give as to why i enjoy it |
qwe3
02.12.11 | "(don't really see which jokes you seem to think are used over and over)"
everything dr. cox ever says is just a reimagining of what he said the episode before
dr cox is a dick
JD being a pussy
dr cox calling jd a pussy/female name
jd referring to his voice in his head out loud
bad lawyer being a bad lawyer
JD is white and turk is black
elliot is neurotic, self-obsessed and awkward
the latino chick (forgot her name shes so uninteresting) is a latino woman who you dont wanna mess with
it's just so lame and contrived and ugh
only things that made the show good were the janitor and dr cox and cox became lame after awhile |
Crymsonblaze
02.12.11 | "Scrubs is crap.
Dexter, HIMYM and Psych is where it's at."
Well at least you nailed the bottom statement. Dexter's great (although they definitely need to try something new), HIMYM's fantastic, and it's good to see Psych get some love. Funniest show on tv. |
North0House
02.12.11 | Psych is awesome, I love that show.
Parks And Rec is the best show on TV at the moment, in my opinion. I dunno, I find it to be more entertaining than the Office. |
