This has been the best new comedy by far. Consistantly funny.

I thought last night's episode wasn't that funny. It was ok, but not as good as usual. Parks and Rec, though, hit the ball out of the park last night. That was the best comedy of the night last night.

I watched the pilot ep, but haven't watched since. I might try to get into this show (and Parks and Rec). The Abed guy went to Marquette

i now love this show and not just because it reinvented/resuscitated chevy chase's career. the character's are funny. but the writing is the best part (imo). and it's not so much the overt funniness, as much as the little items that you catch throughout.

"Hey girl in the skirt..... Date Me!" lol
This show is growing on me every week. The M*A*S*H theme was great.

Wow, I can't believe no one talks about this show!
After tonight's episode, I think it's firmly placed itself as the best sitcom on TV right now.

it's funny, but I often think this show is great so much in the conception of each episode, but not the execution of the concept being explored. once in a while, it hits both perfect and is hilarious, but sometimes I find it more clever than funny. tonight was one of those episodes... save the Senior Chang ending which was flat out hilarious.

fair enough. like is said, i enjoyed it and thought it was clever in it's send up of the genre but the only thing that really made me laugh out loud was the show-down at the end.
the Goodfellas episode was a good combo of the two and the episode where Troy's G-ma was spanking Britta was off the wall hilarious.

Tonight's episode was pretty much ENTIRELY nothing but movie parodies. Cheng as Chow Yun-Fat had me rolling.
I personally think Modern Family is hands-down the best comedy of the season, followed closely by this and Parks and Rec, which are neck-and-neck. Parks and Rec tonight wasn't the greatest, but this was a good example of when one character is on screen, it is ALWAYS spectacular (and that would be Ron Swanson, the boss).

I'm with you on Modern Family.
But after being so unimpressed with the first half dozen episodes of Park and Rec I'm not sure where I feel like jumping back in.
At what point does it grow into being its own show? |

Did you like Arrested Development at all?
I think I'm all about clever comedies instead of just silly sitcom formats...so this stuff is gold to me. |

Modern Family is right at the top with this one I agree...it's been good from the start, where Community took about 4-5 episodes to find out who it was.
But the parodies and pop culture references are what make the show gold. I mean, making fun of Glee, parodies of 28 Day Later, Die Hard, Scarface, Terminator 2...it was brilliant. |

Season 1 wasn't that great--mostly because they wanted to make Amy Poehler a clone of Michael Scott.
But they went away from that in Season 2. She's still kind of a buffoon, but she's not stupid and her heart is always in the right place. She doesn't do stupid things like Michael in the Office and doesn't ever really cause extremely uncomfortable situations like him.
Season 2 is just really great stuff, especially most of the supporting cast, like Tom, April, Ron (my favorite character on the show) and Andy. |
