Re: Top 5 US Comedies on TV currently ?
I have given Archer a go but i just don't like the animation enough. Will give it one more episode
Community hasn't gripped me from the start like the League but again will give it another episode

/\ Community was kind of a slow burn for me, but it really gets cooking probably about mid-way through Season 1. At least hang with it until Modern Warfare, which is towards the end of S1.

Re: Top 5 US Comedies on TV currently ?
I can't argue with any of these. Parks and Rec started off a bit shaky, but season 2 was glorious. American Dad seems almost criminally under appreciated, too. I can't even remember the last time I saw a thread about it on here, yet it's been head and shoulders above Family Guy for at least 3 years now. Even if it was in the midst of an off season (which it isn't), I'd be cool with a top 5 mention just for them playing a song from the 80's movie Rad in one of the eps earlier this season.

The show that started out terrible but is really improving is The Middle. The thanksgiving episode with Norm MacDonald & this year's Christmas episode were both hilarious.

Probably not. I enjoyed it for a while but then i found each episode to be the same as the last

I'm still down for Chuck as one of my favorites although it has had some rough patches.
The Middle
Modern Family
Two and a Half Men although that has slipped as well
Been warming up to Raising Hope

I must be in the minority, but I truly despise the Middle. I find it to be just incredibly excruciating to watch. I've given it a few chances here and there just because it seems like the kind of show I might usually like, but I think it is complete garbage. The fact that the 3 kids on the show are the ugliest, most irksome actors this side of the kids on Hung doesn't help at all, either.

I watched the Pilot episode of Archer and just couldn't get into it. Does it get better after that episode? I like a lot of the talent involved and so feel like I should give it another shot beyond the Pilot, but it just didn't grab me. Of course, it was a Pilot, so that might be the reason...

I've watched season 1 of the League and half way through season 2. Love this show ! Everyone is right, you don't need to know anything about fantasy football or football at all (and being from Australia, i really don't) to enjoy this show
I knew this thread would give me some gems

What do you guys think of Ugly Americans? I thinks it's quite enjoyable because of its rawness. Quite qood for a first season.

Agreed. Cougar Town and Community are easily my favorite two comedies on right now. For the rest, I'd throw have to think about it a bit more.
