Parks and Recreation (2009–2015)

For a time, the best comedy on TV

[9/10 · 14 January 2012]

It's still among the best and consistently above average to great but I will say the first season was about as good as Sitcom's get and it's not quite at that level anymore. As with any good comedy, characters are key and this show has well developed, interesting personalities that work well. The chemistry is there. Above all, the writing is stellar. Follows "The Office" level of top notch script writing. This show delivers in every facet. It's really a shame America doesn't get it but I guess I'm not really surprised. This show is funny at an intellectual level. Something atrocities like "Big Bang Theory" or "How I met your Mother" will never understand, yet they get accolades year after year. Says everything about the comedy IQ of the US.

Happy Endings (2011–2020)

funny

TV getting back to the situation comedy and finally some funny ones that aren't on NBC on Thursday nights.

Good cast, good chemistry. Wayans was a terrible fit on New Girl (best new sitcom on TV) but he works here.

To the person that compared this show favorably to How I met your mother, please refrain from said comparisons. This show is actually funny and well written. Next thing you know it'll be compared to The Big Bang Theory.........shudder..........

Happy Endings may not make it but it should. I'll be watching if Nielsen calls.

The Big Bang Theory (2007–2019)

Terrible. Really the most overrated show in the history of Television

Which is saying something but for this trainwreck it's well deserved. The casting is awful but what kills this show is the writing, and more importantly, the character development. The characters would be annoying if the show was funny but with this drivel the annoyance is unbearable. With all the accolades the show has received I've tried on several occasions to watch and grasp at anything that would make me want to watch it again and it's been an epic fail. Minute after minute of laugh tracks for lines that have absolutely zero comedic value. It's sad when a show this bad gets such credit for being good. When it so clearly is not.
