Why is there a lack of Community? It's like the best show around.

[Chino]

I'd like to share my immense love for the cancelled show Party Down (Starz). The reason for its cancellation can be seen in the stupidity of humans, because this show is amazingly funny, witty, and sexy. If it is put back on the air, I'll consider not destroying this world. But that won't happen, because it's too awesome for people to realize. Long live the Party Down team. Fuck Uda Bengt.

I love this show. My friend got mentor watch the first episode at like 11:00 one night..l I went home and stayed up until I finished bot seasons!

[hefdaddy42]

I'm still faithful to CSI after all these years (Vegas only, none of that NY or Miami crap).

But my favorite shows include Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, and Fringe.

Most comedies don't seem as important to me.  I mean, they can be funny, but very few comedies have seemed like GREAT TV to me.  Crappy ones are just awful, but even most of the good ones I can take or leave, if they get canceled it's no big deal, there will be another one.

[King Postwhore]

hef, Ted Danson is great in the original CSI this year.  What a quirky character.

[Jamesman42]

Parks and Rec is one of the best comedies

[AcidLameLTE]

I still need to watch the rest of season 4 of Mad Men. I've got the series on blu-ray just sitting in my living room in Glasgow...

Out of curiosity, have you seen Arrested Development?

[The King in Crimson]

Parks and Rec is one of the best comedies

YES

Here's some of my favorites from this past year:
Breaking Fucking BAD (best TV show this year)
Game of Thrones
Community
Parks and Recreation
30 Rock (hit or miss sometimes, but rarely bad)
The Walking Dead (kinda slow, but rewarding)

Modern Family, The Office, Dexter, and True Blood all lost me this year. The Office is spinning its wheels in mediocrity, Modern Family just isn't as funny anymore, and Dexter had an absolute shit 5th season and the 6th didn't grab me at all.  I was never a big True Blood fan, but I (guiltily) enjoyed it, however, I've reached my limit for overall shittiness. Anna Paquin's boobs can only make up for so much dreck.

I need to start watching some Justified as I hear it's supposed to be good. Now that I'm done with my X Files rewatch, I can focus on catching up on some newer shows.

[Sigz]

Now that I'm done with my X Files rewatch

I approve so much, X-Files is one of my favorite shows ever.

Probably my favorite show ever is Frisky Dingo, both because it's one of the funniest things ever and gets better after every watch, and because you can watch both seasons back to back in several hours, so it's super concise.

My other big favorites:

Doctor Who
X-Files
Archer
Arrested Development


I'm way behind (like a season or two) on True Blood, which is terrible but so deliciously graphic that I don't care. Dexter has completely taken a dive, though I'm still gonna follow it to see what happens considering the way this season ended.

OH and I started going through Six Feet Under for the first time on Jackie's recommendation, which I'm loving so far.

[The King in Crimson]

I approve so much, X-Files is one of my favorite shows ever.

Yeah, it is really great and it holds up surprisingly well considering the first season was made back in 92/93.  However, that last season just... should not be. What a disappointing ending.

No, but I've been told by a good friend that I would frickin' love it.

[Jamesman42]

That good friend was me. Go watch it, Father.

[hefdaddy42]

That good friend was me. Go watch it, Father.

I'll see what I can do.

[hefdaddy42]

Well, that's true, son.

[GuineaPig]

I'm of the opinion that the original version of The Office is the greatest comedy of any medium, ever.

But Arrested Development is close.

[AcidLameLTE]

The Office is funny but I just can't get into it for some reason.

I am so pissed that they cancelled this show 

[Jamesman42]

Finished season 5 of Burn Notice, all caught up and cannot wait for season 6 next year.

Next show to watch I think will be Breaking Bad, I've heard awesome things.

One of the best shows ever made, IMO.

[Kosmo]

Breaking Bad started pretty slow but it's well worth sticking with it.

[Jamesman42]

Watched the first episode, prty cool

[axeman90210]

Watched the first episode, prty cool

The first season is pretty solid, but the show really takes off in season 2.

[Jamesman42]

Thanks...it's kind of depressing, just watched the 2nd episode...I definitely want some comedy afterward

[PuffyPat]

Just finished up Sherlock. So good. I can't wait for new episodes.

Why is there a lack of Community? It's like the best show around.

no sir it's not Like the best show around. It IS the best show around.

Truth my friend. My brother got Seasons 1 and 2 on DVD a few weeks ago, and we just finished watching Season 1 today, and watched the first disc of Season 2. It is just amazing. It took weeks to watch the first season because we kept re-watching episodes with other people because they were so good, and now we have a queue for who's going to borrow the discs because everyone loved the show so much.

[hefdaddy42]

Last year there was a new show on FX called Terriers which I thought was amazing, but unfortunately it didn't have enough viewers to warrant an extension.  I miss it.

It was all kinds of awesome, and is missed.
