New 'Adult' Sitcoms ?
It seems all of the new sitcoms are your usual family fair.
Are there any new adult oriented 'rude and crude' sitcoms ?
When the League and It's Always Sunny finish, there's not going to be any !

2 Broke Girls with references to anal sex I would not consider typical family fare. We Are Men was adult but only lasted 2 episodes. Mom being centered on sobriety certainly is for more adult crowd. Rude and crude isn't the problem. Decent enough to keep watching is.

Re: New 'Adult' Sitcoms ?
I'm thinking that "The Mindy Project" can be quite adult, although I am at a loss to come up with a particular line of dialogue in support of this contention! We're only on Season One in the UK.
And as this is an international board, I think it fair to say that I find myself chortling away at the crudity of BBC's "Bad Education" and C4's "Fresh Meat", both of which feature comedian Jack Whitehall. Neither are brand new but they've only been about for a couple of UK seasons apiece which I believe would, added together equate to a short US season...

Though I enjoy Louie on FX, I really grew into loving his last show, the raunchy Lucky Louie on HBO... unfortunately since the critics trashed it when it began HBO cancelled it after one season, despite the fact it was improving ratings wise...

NBC has largely been responsible for the family fare it seems.
Its a shame We Are Men wasnt given more of a chance.
Id also add to the list Curb Your Enthusiasm...if it returns, dramrdy Californication and Dads on Fox.

Although technically not adult even TBBT is not really family friendly. It's not really crude and rude however I would classify the humor as adult since I don't see younger kids really appreciating the humor. Taken to the extreme it's an OCD, Asperger's guy with a drunken party girl and a few nerds and rotten sex. Not exactly Nickelodeon.

OP: You might also try to catch a UK series called Worst Week. Its not the boring brit fare youd stereotypically see on PBS for example...its actually pretty risque which serves as a nice counter to the classy brit quality to it.
Additionally the Canadian series Trailer Park Boys is very risque. That and Kids in the Hall is likely the only tv show that Canada has ever made that is risque.
