Cityfan Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) ABC have had one decent comedy I can think of I'm getting off topic, but I quite like the majority of ABC's comedies. The Middle and Modern Family aren't as good as they were but are still better than the majority of shows out there and are still rating monsters. Happy Endings - Favourite show after Community Suburgatory - has a lot of great talent on it and has grew into a very funny show, it's really surprised me just how good it is (E4 are showing this soon I believe) Don't Trust The Bitch in Apartment 23 - Really strange start but has been solid since and starting to show promise (starts on E4 on Thursday) The only comedies on other networks that compare or come close to these imo are Raising Hope (FOX), Community (NBC), New Girl (FOX), BBT and HIMYM (both CBS) although the last 2 are reaching the end of their life cycle. Although, I must point out that I still watch Two And A Half Men post-Charlie Sheen and still find it funny, which probably makes my opinion on comedy null and void!

Lisandro Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 The two guys they're apparently bringing in are Moses Port and David Guarascio who have been involved in Happy Endings(as producers) and they wrote(with two others) the IT Crowd. Those are two funny shows but they're not weird enough(IT Crowd is a bit) as Community. Happy Endings is funny but mostly standalone episodes. There's no longevity in it, despite it's funniness. Sadly it was the god-awful US version of the IT Crowd. I really fear for Community. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh shit you're right, I didn't really investigate the IMDb page for it but wondered why I didn't really recognise the stars(I thought Joel McHale would've been in the top 3 for the American one since he plays Roy in it) Yeah, I can see the cast kicking up a lot of fuss about it. Alison Brie(Annie) tweeted this earlier: And this blog post has a bunch of supportive tweets from cast/crew; my link 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewbo Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) Happy Endings - Favourite show after Community Ah I didnt realise Happy Endings was ABC, I thought that was FOX. The other ones though I dont like. CBS or NBC are probably still the best for comedies, 30 Rock still manages to amuse me (I know, right?!?! ) and I love BBT, Two and a Half Men (just as good post-Sheen, if not better) Rules of Engagement and HIMYM.

Quentin Taranbino Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I love the blanket fort/conspiracy theory episode now as well. Season two is much better than the first I think 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBS also has the Mentalist which is quite funny at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cityfan Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Some genius out there has made a playable version of the video game from Digital Estate Planning. It's still in the early stages but the next build is due really soon. The link to the Reddit thread is here....

Stewbo Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I didn't know he wrote for 30 rock, I know he (and joel mchale) chip in with stuff for Community but I don't think they're listed as writers. His music is fantastic, great debut album ("Camp"), I urge anybody who enjoys rap music to give it a listen if you haven't already 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I also didn't realise he wrote for 30 Rock. I've heard a few of his songs, they're quality. If the rest of the lineup wasn't shite I might've went to T in the Park to see him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
