Thread for Excellent Comedies on TV! [NBC comedies, also for other network shows]

edited January 2013 in Social Entropy++
So the Community thread is locked down, so we need a thread for the thursday night comedies! Especially since 30 Rock is airing its penultimate episode tonight :(

Although the good news is that this goodbye season has been spectacular and hilarious as heck!


liz lemon is the hero we deserve

Also Parks and recreation remains the sweetest, bestest show on tv. Basically tune in if you want a shot of sugar straight to your heart

And I guess The Office is limping along to its end. hohum

But Community is coming back soon! Huzzah!

There's basically a butt-ton of other good comedies airing right now! Suburgatory, Raising Hope, New Girl, Happy Endings, Cougar Town, Archer



In sadder news, it looks like Ben and Kate and Don't Trust the B are pulled from the schedule and are for all intents and purposes cancelled

    Guys, I can't describe how fuzzy the bachelor party episode of Parks & Rec made me feel.

    I would rather 30 rock be able to end on its own terms, so I'm ok with this being the final season.

    Parks and Rec, though, i'm not ready to say goodbye to.

    well, while it is unknown, they have certainly been giving all the characters resolution to most of their problems in anticipation of being cancelled, it seems.

    Whoo, non sequitur thoughts

    - God, I love Suburgatory so much. Alan Tudyk and Chris Parnell are my favorite comedic actors
    - The Middle is a very solid, underrated show that has a fantastic cast
    - I don't think Parks and Rec is ending. I say it has another season left to wrap things up
    - As for The Office, I think this has been the strongest season since Michael has left (except for douchey Andy. I hate how they made him unlikeable so quickly)
    - It sucks that Ben and Kate was cancelled. It was a bit uneven at times but BJ was the best character and constantly hilarious
    - I'll miss Apt. 23 more though. Definitely got more solid as time went on. I hope they air the rest of the episodes

    P&R is doing fantastic by comparison to the rest of NBC.
    TVByTheNumbers has them at "certain renewal".

    the Nielsen system is hopelessly outdates and pretty much everyone knows at this point that it's almost certainly not very representative of reality

    but the entire network model is built around it, so they still use. (It's less true for cable and even less less true for pay cable)

    It's weird, I like Ed Helms and I have liked the Nard Dog in the past, but I'm really hoping Andy died on the way back to his home planet so the rest of the final season can be good without him around.

    I'm going to be mad if they don't get Will Arnett to guest on Community before it gets cancelled.
    He has to collect all the good NBC comedies.

    I'm really sad about Apt. 23, jackass Beek was the best.

    Honestly I love The Middle for the daughter. It's a safe family comedy, but she plays dorky so well and she has the best facial expressions.

    Surburgatory is also good. I didn't care for it when it first came on, but now that it's exploring the characters I love it.

    I dunno, I'm kind of disappointed by those decisions. I wish her new kids were more like little Liz Lemon from a while back

    I think that Bro Body Douche guy is the same one from the Macy's commercials, who oddly looks like a combination of Ryan Reynolds and Martin Short. It's so weird but I can't not look at him

    it seems like some sort of twisted joke
    jim is mad that he missed a moment in his daughter's life because Pam didn't film it
    but then they showed the documentary guys who are clearly filming their entire lives, so these guys probably got the recital on tape? But the cast of the Office seems to forget they are being filmed all the time?

    hah, Nellie didn't remember kissing Toby. I think their scenes were my favorite part of the episode

    Makes me kind of sad they turned him into a creeper though. He was such a sad sack and now they pulled him in another direction. I guess there's no happy medium with him

    God, NBC thursday is just so good. I'm really conflicted about the shows ending. I want more but also don't want them to run so long they start sucking. Still unsure about 1600 Penn.

    It's funny with 30 Rock, I saw the season 1 episode recently where Jack can't figure out how to beat Kenneth at poker and at the end of the episode says that they'll either end up working for him or dead by his hand. I wondered if they were going to revisit that one way or the other.

    Yeah, but if they were little Liz Lemons instead of Terry and Janet (love that their names even sound like Tracy & Jenna), the truth of the matter is all of Liz's suffering through Tracy and Jenna is for nothing--now it was all for a reason, giving her the very specific skills to raise two kids who, because they're fucking crazy, wouldn't have a shot elsewhere.
