I didn't mind some of the concepts they tried in later community but you are right its a much tighter show in season 1

So much potential and they went and f*cked it up with stupid shite...

Very disappointing..

Its pretty ridiculous for a show to be in its prime seasons and be so hit or miss. If community was a person it would be a self centred douche like Jeff Winger, except believe what Abed likes is hip. In other words... when Community tries to be funny... its a condescending shitbag. When it doesnt... its hysterical and likeable.

That was actually a sketch comedy show rather than just a comedy.



Well, if it makes you laugh and has been on TV, then I'd say it qualifies for the thread (TV comedy is pretty broad, whether sitcom, sketch, animated, panel, clip show, gameshow or otherwise).

After only 1½ seasons and an immediate cancellation and removal off the ABC schedule??

I really dug it. Darker humour than most mainstream US comedies, James van der Beek playing an amped up version of himself, and some fun recurring jokes. I was really bummed it got canned so abruptly.

Anyone watch Bobs Burgers? I am unsure whether it is good or not still.

It's no Archer or Adventure Time, but it gives me cause to chuckle. Loved the Archer crossover.

I have only seen a few of the US episodes but Wilfred seems pretty funny.

I'll cop flak for it, but I actually prefer the US version. It's a more focused product that explores the characters rather than just rehashing the joke over and over again. Elijah Wood is perfectly case and his chemistry with the original dog/creator is great.

There is a lack of Chappelles show in people's best lists.

Black white supremacist
World Series of dice
Rick James
Prince
Racial Draft
Tyrone biggums
Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?

Sure it was only 2 and a bit seasons but IMO some if the great comedy skits of all time.

Did Someone really have That 70s show in his top ten? :-s

But he did have New Girl which is decent and perveworthy so I'll allow it.

I probably don't watch enough comedies to do a top 10 best and worst.

Favourites

1. Simpsons (at its prime, obviously)
2. Seinfeld
3. South Park
4. Scrubs
5. Futurama

Next tier

1. Becker
2. Malcolm in the Middle
3. Everybody loves Raymond (guilty pleasure type)
4. M*A*S*H

Only two come to mind that I've watched enough to say I dislike

1. Big Bang Theory (don't mind Sheldon, rest is shit)
2. Two and a Half Men

Cbf naming all the common ones that have been mentioned but Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia is probably the best comedy that's still running imo.
Modern Family isn't bad
Chappelle Show was great, shame it only went for 2 seasons
Trailer Park Boys was also good

The ones I have something against:
Family Guy
How I Met Your Mother
Frasier
Two and a Half Men
Big Bang Theory (some episodes are ok but severely over rated show)
