The Big Bang Theory - I prefer The IT Crowd; that one at least has some LOL moments. If I wanted to watch nerds in action, got plenty of places for that.

Full House - I remember seeing clips of Bob Saget's act on Comedy Central and it's the total opposite of his squeaky clean image.

Home Improvement - It's a formula show with some Super Dave like stunt in the middle. Watched a bunch of it before Tim Allen wrote his first book and became Buzz Lightyear.

Fuck the world.
What's eerie is that it's just like a real episode.

:wth: :wth: :wth: :wth: :wth:

...complete with a badly-timed laugh track and all. Wow.
Disappointed that they didn't give it a parody title like Gang Bang Theory or Big Wang Theory. What's a porno parody without the sleazy name?

NewsRadio was just recently put on NetFlix here. I'm not sure if you guys got it down south and I'm assuming so, but if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. It is one of my personal favorite sitcoms with a pretty all star cast, and it has Phil Hartman and Stephen Root being hilarious pretty much all the time.

I'm hoping they put more shows like it on here (our NetFlix is notoriously slow with getting stuff you guys get) as stuff like this really makes me appreciate the service.

Yeah, good choice; another one of the 90's greats. Sadly, the wheels came off after Phil Hartman's passing... but man, those early seasons are excellent. FYI, this is also pretty much the only thing I have ever enjoyed out of Andy Dick (and even then, his character can be grating at times). Still a lot of fun, though; a really underrated sitcom, as evidence by its almost non-existent syndication life.

Another one of my old favorites that I've been catching up with again is Just Shoot Me (bought Season 3 on DVD for $5; got it for 90% off through Borders closing sale). A pretty atypical "workplace" comedy, you've gotta love the cast, if nothing else. Jack especially; he's great, and I'd love to have him for a boss. =P

Most of the ones I've seen are like that, stuff like parodies of Seinfeld, That 70's Show, Beverly Hills 90210, or The Brady Bunch.  Usually they just tack on a "XXX Parody" to the end, or sometimes "This is not..."(e.g. "This is not Beverly Hills 90210").  Don't know why, anybody could easily think of 30 Cock, it's not that hard...

Anyone checked out The New Girl yet? I watched it with my mom a couple weeks ago. We laughed so much at half the jokes that we had to rewatch it just see the other half. It got crazy ratings from it's premier, so hopefully that means it'll get the star treatment like Glee.

Oh, is that on FOX? That might explain why I didn't see it. I haven't actually watched FOX in years now.

Indeed it is. From what people are saying, it looks to be their first live-action comedy hit in quite some time, at least since That 70's Show (not counting Glee, as Glee is not a sitcom).

I'm a bit surprised, actually. For one thing, it's Fox (their sitcom track record is pretty tepid). And on a more personal note, almost every one of the new comedies this year didn't look very good to me at all (from the promos, anyway). The CBS output looks dreadful as usual (other than HIMYM, their sitcoms REALLY suck), and anything with Whitney Cummings name attached to it is already instant fail. About the only one that did look appealing to me was Tim Allen's new deal over on ABC, but admittedly, I'm only interested in that because of Home Improvement (the promo wasn't very funny, tbh).

...but yeah, I'll have to give this one a shot. Zooey Deschanel is pretty awesome, and people are giving this some good marks early on, so it should be worth a couple viewings at least.

I watched it with my mom, and honestly, I just didn't get it. I think Zooey is adorable to death and is cute enough on the show, but very few lines got me to react at all.

A lot of blogs on my tumblr dash loved it though, and reblog a lot of scenes from it. Maybe it'll improve as it goes along, but I don't really find it funny at all.

So I've found myself watching Absolutely Fabulous. It's hilarious in how disturbingly real it can be while being over-the-top. And Patsy reminds me of so many women I've known in my life, that it just becomes kind of creepy. It's like the first time a sitcom's scared me.
