While I was waiting for the storm to stop so I could begin to dig myself out from under 2+ feet of snow, I spent some time on Hulu checking out a few shows that I'd never seen. After watching episodes of The Office, Arrested Development, and It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, I've come to the conclusion that I haven't missed much. I miss traditional, filmed before a live studio audience sitcoms that were actually funny -- shows like Seinfeld, Cheers, Frasier, and Everybody Loves Raymond. These single-camera "comedies" are just not cutting it with me. I think I'll spend the rest of the time I'm waiting for the roads to be plowed by going through my DVD collection instead of Hulu, unless someone can recommend a current show that's actually funny.

While it isn't a sitcom, I highly recommend Doctor Who. Such a great show!!!!
-
I don't like any of that stuff either Razor....... Two and a Half Men is pretty funny...............
-
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is hysterical! To each his own, I guess. Granted that show is a different kind of funny.
The New Adventures of Old Christine is pretty funny. It has Julia Louis Dreyfuss in it.

Yeah, too bad Charlie Sheen is in it. :(

What about the Big Bang Theory ? Pretty darn good, even though I don't watch much TV.
It's different and pretty funny. Good one liners.
But you are right, it ain't like it use to be.

Doctor Who. Such a great show!!!!
Our oldest daughter's first words, not Mama, not Papa, etc., no, it was Dr. Who. ;D ;D ;D

No, I've never seen that one. Guess I'll have to check it out.

I couldn't agree more about Big Bang Theory. It is the only sit-com I watch. Funny, cerebral humor. Everything else has gotten trite and boring to me.

Two and a Half men is good for a chuckle.

Ba-Zinga!! That is a great show!

All in the Family & Frank's Place. The later was a short run program about a black restaurant in New Orleans--lots of great stuff. All in the Family, what can you say, Norman Lear at his best, and it contains one of my favorite exchanges ever:
Edith: "Archie, do you want a sandwich?"
Archie: "What kind, Edith?
Edith: "I'm making a tongue sandwich."
Archie: "Edith, I ain't eatin' nothin' that came out of no cow's mouth!"
Edith: "What do you want then Archie?"
Archie: "How about an egg salad sandwich?"
Great stuff. Then there were the really old ones, the Honeymooners, Amos & Andy. Real side splitting dialogue.
IMO, the last major writers' strike let the networks off the hook when they filled in with "reality" TV. Not real in my world, and boring, but cheap to produce. The networks don't regard their programing as anything else but a vehicle to stuff w/ advertisements anyway. And now broadcast TV is in trouble and the ad revenue is down, so who's responsible?

I thought the reality show would have reached the end of its life cycle by now. The only interesting scripted shows these days are on cable.

I miss sitcoms also...
...but just the other day I watched my first episode of Law & Order and that lead to another epsiode...
...quite addicting...
-
2 1/2 men is very funny...and they get away with so much as far as the censors go.
-
Wow, Law and Order is in it's 20th year. You've got a lot of catching up to do.

Not really, what I like about it is that each episode stands on it's own... O0

Just go get the first five seasons of Entourage on DVD and you'll never regret it.

OK. I just found it a bargain rate on Amazon, so I ordered it. Will let you know what I think.
