Again, I hate lists. Yes I am crazy though. I just really love The League. I watch with my fantasy football buddies and it never fails to be really ******* entertaining. My list really should be
1. Arrested Development
2 through 10. Other shows

I didn't put Happy Endings on my list because I did an all time list, but if I did a current show list it would definitely be top 5.

I wonder why people hate BBT so much (with the exception of the laugh track which can get annoying)

Because just like Two and a Half Men, a person with some level of intelligence can only be subjected to the same damn joke so many times before they throw themself over the edge of a cliff.

Psych is far and away the most overrated show on this board, even with APS calling IASIP the best comedy ever. I also feel the people who like that show are the ones harping on IASIP, maybe there is a correlation there or something idk. My list (Mostly current)
1. The Walking Dead
2. Arrested development
3. Parks and Rec
4. Community
5. Its always sunny

You're like 27 Zak, the latter three shows absolutely pale in comparison to modern day comedies. This isn't movies, TV sucked ass until the 80s.

Do not **** on Get Smart. I love that show. And I used to watch Laugh In when it was on Nick at Nite.
Jesus Brody, there are good shows that started airing before 1995. Expand your mind a little bit. JEEZ. amirite GF?!

No, they're bland and play it safe shows. They're not in the same league as Parks and Rec, Community, Office pre meltdown, 30 Rock, Arrested Development, Archer, Beavis and Butthead, Futurama, South Park, Scrubs, It's Always Sunny, Happy Endings, Louie, American Dad, The Critic, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Clerks cartoon, Party Down, Cougar Town, Psych, Undeclared, The Venture Brothers, Friends, Frasier, How I Met Your Mother, The Larry Sanders Show, Malcolm in the Middle, Modern Family, Reaper...
I could go on for days.

I know this. Simpsons, Twin Peaks, Wonder Years, The Twilight Zone, The Prisoner, Batman: The Animated Series, half of the Nick lineup were all pretty solid.

I disagree every show I've ever seen is formulaic to a certain extent. Even the greatest shows recycle jokes with new interchangeable parts. Psyche is one of the worst offenders of this but it doesn't get half the criticism that BBT gets.
While brody's critique is 100% accurate I don't think they would have lasted this long if they went with the same premise this long eventually they had to move the story along.
