LYC: My Sitcom Rankings

Posted by musubi Sep 12 '11, 14:11

1) Parks and Rec
2) Raising Hope
3) Community (possibly too self-aware and dark this past season...still great though)
4) Modern Family
5) Louie (I think the show is briliant...but I'm not sure it's funny outside of the standup)

Honorable mention: Phineas and Ferb. P&F are heeee-larious.

Where is Cougar Town!? -- nm - MDH Sep 12, 14:24
I'm a season back on P&R. I think happy endings is my current fave, then community, then p&r, then CT. note: if community - HPV McGee Sep 12, 14:23 1
- i'm on your six -- nm - moles Sep 12, 14:25

Archer > Community > Happy Endings > Modern Family > BBT. That's my list. -- nm - TFox Sep 12, 14:16 38
- I am with you on 1,3,5. I do not watch 2 and 4. - groiny Sep 12, 14:18
- Yeah, Archer is way way better than everything else. - Kim Pine Sep 12, 14:18 16
  - did you see the Danger Zone shirt I made? - TFox Sep 12, 14:21 1
    - No! That is *awesome*. -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 12, 14:27
  - I imagine people who love Cougar Town also love Happy Endings. - musubi Sep 12, 14:19 13
    - I want to know more about Happy Endings but am afraid to google. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 12, 14:20 12
      - it's 3 guys, 3 girls...2 of them were supposed to be married, but she skipped out - Will Hunting Sep 12, 14:22
      - Hee. I call it "Friends meets Scrubs". -- nm - Reagen Sep 12, 14:21 10
        
        Yeah, this is pretty close (but without all the unfair negative connotations I ascribe to Scrubs.) -- nm - TFox Sep 12, 14:22 6
        
        true enough. Early Scrubs, before you wanted to hear Zach Braff's death rattle. -- nm - Reagen Sep 12, 14:23 5
        
        I don't think I've laughed harder at a show than I did at S2. - Mel Profit Sep 12, 14:25 3
        
        although the Jail Season of Earl was it's equal... - Mel Profit Sep 12, 14:28 2
        
        I quit Earl before the jail season. I was around juuuuust long enough to see Juliette Lewis redeem her entire career in front of my eyes. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 12, 14:29 1
        
        Juliette Lewis has nothing to apologize for. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 12, 14:31
        
        *nods* -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 12, 14:23
        
        this is pretty accurate. (I love it so much.) -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 12, 14:22
        
        Hmmm...I like both. Scrubs being a favorite obviously. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 12, 14:22
        
        "A little on the nose, don't you think?" (nm) - musubi Sep 12, 14:21
- Out of these have only seen Modern Family and BBT, and I totally hate BBT. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 14:17 19
  - *shocked* nm -- nm - groiny Sep 12, 14:18 18
    - I also hate BBT -- nm - Beryllium Sep 12, 14:23 17
      - I watched it for a while, but grew real tired of it -- nm - amoxy Sep 12, 14:27
      - in agreement with loosi is a place you never really want to be. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 12, 14:24
      - jz and his older daughter are *begging* me to pick this up. it just looks excruciating. I've never seen an epsiode. -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 12, 14:24 13
        
        it as bad as you think, and worse. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 14:28
        
        ditto. it looks like nice, safe comedy for the AARP crowd. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 12, 14:27 6
        
        Just what I was thinking. Halo humor digested down and explained for those who don't know what Halo is. -- nm - con_carne Sep 12, 14:31 1
        
        my impression may be off but it's on CBS. - Mel Profit Sep 12, 14:33
        
        The AARP crowd wouldn't get any of the jokes. Not for them at all. - Krusty Sep 12, 14:30 1
        
        probably true. I got the jokes, and yet, they were not funny. - loosilu Sep 12, 14:32
        
        I swear, I do not know you at all anymore. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 12, 14:30
        
        *not* for the hot babysitter! -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 12, 14:29
        
        I have all the seasons on DVD. - groiny Sep 12, 14:25
        
        I think it's the laugh track that annoys me the most. I've been having a hard time with that lately. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 12, 14:25 3
        
        It's filmed in front of a live audience. -- nm - Krusty Sep 12, 14:30 1
        
        Be that as it may, I find it painful to watch most shows that have that. - Beryllium Sep 12, 14:33
        
        you mean you're cool with the hackneyed geek stereotypes? -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 14:29
      - *high five* -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 14:23
Me: 1 - Modern Family (even with teh sophomore slump), 2 - Big Bang Theory ; 3 - Community 4 - 30 Rock ; 5- Sunny in Philly. - Will Hunting Sep 12, 14:14 12
- 30 Rock honestly deserves a honorable mention on my list, but I'm so smitten by Phinneas and Ferb I omitted it. (nm) - musubi Sep 12, 14:17 8
  - I forgot Archer....there's 10 shows that could make a list for me. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 12, 14:19
  - 30 Rock is consistently very funny/hilarious. - Mel Profit Sep 12, 14:19 1
    - yeah, agreed. of course I only ever watch it at a friend's house when they ahve it on. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 14:23
  - Also: BBT sucks. (nm) - musubi Sep 12, 14:18 4
    - thank you. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 14:20 1
      - *points to moose, points to loosi* The time to re-consider is now. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 12, 14:20
    - You out your mind, son! -- nm - Krusty Sep 12, 14:19
    - ^ crazy talk, right there. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 12, 14:18
- This is where I'm at too but more of a tie between 1 & 2. -- nm - Krusty Sep 12, 14:16 2
  - MF gets my lead becuase it's got the higher peaks than BBT - Will Hunting Sep 12, 14:17 1
    - Good point. Less weak episodes than BBT. -- nm - Krusty Sep 12, 14:18
Yes, everyone should watch Phineas and Ferb. Except maybe amanda, who hates cartoons. -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 12, 14:13 10
- I'm babysitting a *lot* lately so I've been forced to watch those singing christer vegetables. I'm sure I'll see this one soon. -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 12, 14:21 1
  - VeggieTales! - moles Sep 12, 14:26
- She'll have seen the first three episodes and finished off a half gallon of rocky road by midnight. -- nm - Max Sep 12, 14:15
- Really? It's not a children's cartoon? -- nm - Krusty Sep 12, 14:14 6
  - It plays on different levels. A great deal of parody that will be totally lost on children. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Sep 12, 14:30
  - It is, but it's hiiiiiiiilarious. I find myself laughing way more than moose jr when we watch it together. (nm) - musubi Sep 12, 14:15 2
    - Everyone who loves it should totally also be watching Rocko's Modern Life on Nick Teen. - Kim Pine Sep 12, 14:18 1
      - Tragically, I do not get Nick Teen. And I really don't have room in my media consumption diet as it is. - musubi Sep 12, 14:21
  - it is. -- nm - TFox Sep 12, 14:15 1
    - (but, so?) -- nm - TFox Sep 12, 14:15
