Any comedy shows suggested?

Postby Doobie on Tue Feb 03, 2009 10:41 am

Well I only watch one show currently and its How I Met Your mother. I love the show right now but I'm wondering if any of you can suggest any comedies. I occasionally watch scrubs but I'm wondering about shows like 30 rock and The office which I've heard good reviews of, but I'm just wondering you guys thoughts.

I was not too fond of it at first, but 30 Rock is definitely one of the best comedy shows around.
I don't watch that much TV but what NBC has on Thursdays is pretty solid comedy I think.

Get the first two seasons of It's Always Sunny in Philadephia. I'm half through the third season, which isn't as funny as the first two, but those were awesome. Charlie Day is hilarious.

I was wondering what happened to these 2 shows...I believe the 2nd one was produced by Conan O'Brien, am I right?
By the way benji, thanks for giving a link to that website a little while ago, that stuff is awesome. (Y)

Yeah, it aired all six of its episodes and was immediately killed but was far better than tripe like Kath and Kim.

Kitchen Confidential only aired three or four episodes. I recently watched the whole season, and those are actually probably the worst episodes. The show gets much better once the characters are established and stuff.

Manhattan AZ is not to be ignored people. This is predecessor to the modern style of sitcom popularized by Arrested, The Office, etc. Watch the first five minutes of the pilot and you'll understand.

But Sheldon is the only redeeming feature of the entire show. The others are just there to react to his awesomeness and are pretty irrelevant.

Yeah. Pretty much. It's enough on a weekly basis I guess. Plus it's only a half-hour long. Penny's mediocre eye candy. Leonard's a decent straight man I guess. The other two are good for a few laughs/facial expressions here and there.

What Ben said, I only watch one other comedy other than what he recommended (Two and a Half Men) but it's not nearly as good as those...

Thanks for the links Benji.

I tried watching the Big Bang theory but it's really not a show for me.

I also watch South Park, Futurama, Family Guy, Simpsons.

I'm gonna check out all those shows when I have time(probably tonight.)

nternational
For now, Hulu is a U.S. service only. That said, our intention is to make Hulu's growing content lineup available worldwide. This requires clearing the rights for each show or film in each specific geography and will take time. We're encouraged by how many content providers have already been working along these lines so that their programs can be available over the Internet to a much larger, global audience. The Hulu team is committed to making great programming available across the globe.

I see what you mean but nerds just aren't that funny to me. I find it funnier with a couple 30 year old's going to a bar wasting there night away and having memories funnier... Plus Barney is my favorite TV character ever.

Jackie, Buzzy, get Hotspot Shield. Basically a US proxy only a very fast one and works all the time. Been using it for over two months now and it's never failed me. I haven't downloaded a single Conan, Daily Show or Colbert Report episode since. :wink:

And how many have watched Manhattan AZ?

Because if you haven't, I'll be needing your addresses and a local Home Depot.
