Welll, we're not entirely in the clear just yet, since Community's future is still up in the air.

Although really, would you care if the show kept on running with how it is now? I'd personally keep it around though, since it's only 5 episodes away from syndication, and NBC honestly does not have many shows to replace it with, unless they decide to replace every thing with The Voice.
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

To be honest, I wouldn't mind if Community doesn't get renewed. The newest season is fairly okay and far from terrible, but it definately feels to me that the show is tired. Although, to be honest, the NBC shows in general haven't been doing much for me lately.  :(

Up All Night and Guys With Kids are also canceled. My mom actually liked the latter, but I'm not surprised.

As for Community, I'll still stick around as long as it's next to Parks, but after that finale, we just don't need it anymore.

Community is officially renewed.

Also, it looks like I got Guys With Kids confused with The New Normal as for which show my mom watches, and that one's future is up in the air. But hey, more Community!

In other news, Dan Harmon is returning to Community.

Check out this list.

Yeah, I really need to get into The Sopranos.

Breaking Bad below I Love Lucy.
Arrested Development below Dick Van Dyke Show.
Friends above Deadwood.
I, Claudius at 77.
The Prisoner at 90.
The Wire below anything.


Avaitor

It's... pretty weird.

I mean, I love Seinfeld, but I can't get behind it being the best comedy ever made. Nor should All in the Family be higher than a lot of the shows it is. The Wire and Mad Men should be higher, Friends should be off the top 25, Lost should be a lot lower, and Will & Grace should be gone entirely.

But seriously, what is wrong with Dick Van Dyke?

It's a really good list if you don't pay attention to the way they ordered it (outside of some outliers like Friends, of course). Most of the stuff on there is high quality.

Placement is never going to be the way you want it to be. At least they chose good material.

Yeah, only a handful of duds, and IIRC, HIMYM and GOT aren't there at all. Otherwise, not awful.

This might be the first time I've ever seen Will & Grace on a top anything list.

Actually though, I was almost pleasantly surprised to see how low Friends was, even if it was still Top 25. I think five years ago, they probably would've ranked it higher.

All in all, not bad. I've definitely seen worse. I still think Roseanne sucks though.

I'm going to do a similar list that I did with songs for TV show episodes. I can only think of about 5 each from this decade and the previous 2, however. I can do one each from the 80's to the 50's, though- in reverse order, that'd be "Chambers vs. Malone", "Chuckles Bites the Dust", "Space Seed", and "Walking Distance".

Also, no cartoons, at least not here.

90's:

1- Love's Labor Lost
2- The Two Mrs. Cranes
3- Relics
4- Life Behind Larry
5- The Conversion

00's:

1- Once More, With Feeling
2- Any given episode of The Wire
3- Slap Bet
4- School Reunion
5- My Screw Up

10's:

1- The Suitcase
2- Blackwater
3- Hermanos
4- Remedial Chaos Theory
5- Duckling

Edit: I think the fact that I'm able to do shit like this at all proves that I need to get a life.

Hmmm... I think I'm gonna need some help with Show Titles there, Avaitor. I think I can make out 2: "Crane" is of course Dr. Crane from Frasier and "My" is the first word in every Scrubs episode title short of the last season ("Our") and 3 episodes where "My" became "His, Her," and I think "Their."

I actually think Will & Grace is an above average sitcom. It's nowhere near original and has the same crutch formula of endless-repetition of stock jokes a lot of shows have. But it is in no way weaker than the likes of Frasier (sorry), Cheers (this I'm not sorry for), or almost any family show.

And you're still wrong.
Well, I got so burned out on the road
Too many fags, too much blow
And then Mick and I split up and I said,
"Kid, it's time to take a little bit of a hiatus."
So I got myself a gig at the coffee shop
and I love it.
Why don't you take that corner booth,
I'll take your order in a minute...
