Need more Currently airing Sitcoms to Watch - any suggestions ?
Just looking at my viewing list and it's way short on sitcoms
With how you met your mother ended, i've dropped New Girl and Two and a half men.
Right now, all i have is 2 Broke girls and Modern Family
I liked Friends with better lives and Men at work, both cancelled
I miss it's always sunny but i believe that is airing early next year
Any suggestions for currently airing sitcoms i may like ? (by currently airing i really mean currently airing, shows which started their season roughly the same time as modern family and 2 broke girls. And i'm not interested in Animated.
Behind Modern Family, what would be the Top 5 Rating sitcoms airing right now ?
Thankfully there have been some good Britcoms to fill the gap but they have such short (6 episode) seasons which annoys me ! Shows like Siblings, the Job Lot, Drifters and Scrotal Recall have all been pretty good

The most consistently funny sitcom on network TV is The Middle.
You might want to try Marry Me or Benched on Tuesday nights.
Have you ever sampled Ground Floor on TBS?
I'm not saying any of those three suggestions are great shows but I can't put a finger on your taste. Most anything else I could think to suggest has been on TV long enough that I can't imagine you haven't already tried it (Have you heard about this show about two nerds and their pretty blond neighbor?)
The best sitcom on TV is Seinfeld reruns every evening on TBS. Very funny!

The 5 most highly rated (viewers in the key demo) sitcoms are:
1. The Big Bang Theory
2. Modern Family
3. The Simpsons (due largely to NFL overrun)
4. 2 Broke Girls
5. Black-ish
Of those, Black-ish is currently my favorite.
(diff time of year) Louie is excellent if you want something off the beaten path
(diff time of year) You're The Worst is imo the best new show of the year
Brooklyn Nine-Nine is good if you're into goofier/silly humor
(diff time of year) Silicon Valley I haven't watched yet but I hear is good
New Girl has been consistently solid this season
Though judging off your taste, Benched may be more up your alley. Parks and Rec is entering its final season and isn't to everybody's taste.

I enjoyed the three new sitcoms I started watching this fall: A to Z, Manhattan Love Story, and Selfie!
All canceled.

The Middle is one of my favorite shows (I personally cant' stand Modern Family), so I second this. I think it's hysterical.
The Goldbergs is also very good, but I'm a child of the 80s so there's a lot of nostalgia there.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine is my favorite live-action sitcom on TV.
The Simpsons and South Park is a given, and honestly this season of The Simpsons has been the best in a long time. It's really been firing on all cylinders.
Family Guy is pretty crappy now, but I usually get a good laugh or two out of an episode.
I'd also suggest Black-ish but I'm a few episodes behind.

For me I basically like some of the old stand by shows like The Simpsons and South Park. The Big Bang Theory is okay but is starting to get kind of stale this season to me. Other than those I really love Louie a lot. Another good one but I have no idea when it'll come back is Curb Your Enthusiasm. Those are about all of currently airing comedy shows I still enjoy (and yes Curb Your Enthusiasm I still count as currently airing because it hasn't been announced as officially over). I generally don't like a lot of programming from the big three networks.

VERY redundant but can definitely 'pass'. As mentioned already, The Ground Floor was good for a simple sitcom platform. I actually forgot about it until I saw a promo the other day about it coming back. I did enjoy whenever I happened to chance upon an ep or two.

Highly recommend:
Benched
Brooklyn 9-9
Black-ish (don't judge it by the first episode, it gets much better)
Recommend:
The Middle (took me a few episodes to get into it)
The Goldbergs (it helps if you grew up in the 80s)
I like these, but pretty much nobody else in the forum does:
Hot in Cleveland
Instant Mom
The Exes
Benched
Brooklyn 9-9

I like Brooklyn Nine Nine a lot, although the first season was a bit stronger then the current one.
And You're The Worst was probably my favorite comedy altogether this whole year, if you like more "adult" messed up relationship humor.

I'll back up everything said in this post. It barely got renewed but You're The Worst was the funniest show on TV this year.

I started watching Big Bang theory, got a third of the way through season 1 but i dunno, wasn't doing much for me and i was a huge fan of Kaley Cuoco and that still wasn't enough (she's now way past her prime and can't stand her short hair)
Although back then, i had many more sitcoms to watch like Still Standing, Rules of Engagement, til death etc
I will give Black ish a go

I personally liked Ground Floor from TBS. It's basically a romantic comedy and the 2 leads do have good chemistry. Also, the lead girl Briga Heelan is insanely hot. It's a traditional muti-camera studio sitcom, but I do get some laughs from it. Plus, season 1 was really short at only 10 episodes. It comes back again next month.
I also like Hot in Cleveland on TV Land, but it's ending it's run after this season. It always makes me laugh, but it's not popular here at all.
Benched on USA is also pretty good. I mean it's Eliza Coupe, incredibly sexy, funny and good with some physical comedy too. Just a warning though it is a lawyer sitcom.

One I'm enjoying that I haven't seen mentioned is Mom with Anna Farris and Allison Janey. It's actually got a lot of heart and a real emotional center.
