    Was the first season bad? I've watched the first 3-4 episodes on Netflix and wasn't impressed. :idk:

    It's because they own old people and old people are the only ones who watch live TV consistently anymore

    Pretty simple really

    network tv comedic characters:

    George Costanza
    George Bluth
    Michael Scott
    Big gay dude in modern family
    Alien in American dad
    Frank in Always Sunny
    No one from the cast of friends (but if I'm forced, Chandler)

    Comedies I've rewatched the most would probably in order:
    The Office
    Always Sunny
    Chappelle Show
    Arrested Development
    Reno 911
    Can watch those shows over and over

    I'd give it another try. Ep 4 is Jack the Writer which is followed by Jack the Actor and Jack Meets Dennis. Those three really set up Baldwins character in the long run (and also introduce us to the amazing Dennis duffy). Then Tracy Does Conan, Break Up, and Rural Juror are shortly thereafter and they're classics.

    Honestly the fact that TV still values the Nielsen ratings so highly depresses me more than an episode of This Is Us

    Alright I'll give it a shot and pick up at episode 4. I vaguely remember that episode. Think I watched the first four in a row and my dislike of the first 3 probably didn't give the 4th a chance.

    Has anyone mentioned That 70's Show for greatest sitcoms? Last season sucked royally, but the previous seasons all were pretty funny in my book.

    Also Charlie Work is the best episode of Sunny

    I'm glad someone broke the discussion open but man friends is so corny. It's the 90s version of girls. You mean to tell me a bunch of poor ass 20 somethings take cabs everywhere? The fuck?

    No character was likable they all sucked as people. Also what job lets you just peace out midday to chill at a coffee house

    Parks & Rec might be my favorite sitcom ever. Pawnee is such a well-fleshed out town. The recurring and one-time characters are incredible and the growth and development of the main cast is great. Also nailed the landing with a perfect final season and series finale.

    Also, Silicon Valley deserves some love. Last season was great.

    Back in high school, maybe even a year or 2 into college, I thought Yes, Dear was pretty funny.
