i would do a huge write up on sitcoms...i won't waste bigfan's bandwidth with my thoughts. but i have always endeared myself to them. hell the 90's had a slew of great sitcoms besides the obvious "seinfeld" and "frasier"--"newsradio", "spin city", "third rock from the sun", and into the 00's with "malcolm in the middle" and "that 70's show". all were competently done, by comedy writers. i don't know what happened to the comedy gene pool but i am going to go ahead and blame the institutionalization of comedy workshops. people who pay money to go through a program to get connections and jobs that they don't deserve, because they're easy to work with. it's devoid of originality and creativity...but it thrives as a business enterprise.

i don't hate "portlandia". in fact i think it's probably one of the more clever shows in years. probably since the first couple years of "the office" and "30 rock".

Zack, Third Rock was fucking garbage

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

Absolutely wrong.

I'm mostly with Zack here. Also, The Goldberg's is terrible.

I'm a big dumb shitlib baby

If you hate Laurence, then don't listen - don't comment. When he co-hosts the B&B show, take that day off ... listen to an old podcast of a Bernstein solo show and jerk off all day.

Third Rock from the Sun was just terrible. No redeeming qualities.

Any child from the 80s should find at least some enjoyment from The Goldbergs.

Also, just like with all shows, you can't judge it based solely on season 1. Some of the greatest sitcoms of all time weren't that good in year 1.

More bad thoughts.

John Lithgow was incredible on this show, and his numerous Emmy's are proof of its greatness. The rest of the cast was also SOLID.

John Lithgow is awesome and he couldnt save the show. Thats the problem. The tranny and French Stewart are solid waste.

Black-ish (9:30-10pm – 10.8 million and 3.3/10 in AD18-49): Dominating the 9:30pm half-hour in Adults 18-49, ABC’s Black-ish delivered impressive retention of its Modern Family lead-in (99%/89%), marking the best-ever Total Viewer retention for a regular comedy debut in the slot and best in 5 years in young adults (since 9/23/09). In addition, Black-ish equaled ABC’s top-rated Wednesday comedy debut since February 2011 – since 2/9/11. In addition, it was the highest-rated series debut on any network in Adults 18-49 since March with ABC’s Resurrection on 3/9/14.

I rarely troll.

Or Saturday Night Live, Friends, and anything with Jimmy Fallon or Jay Leno.

RR speaks truth.

King of Queens makes Third Rock look like Cheers.

For some reason I just read that hearing Paul Mooney portraying "Negrodamus" on the old Dave Chappelle show.
