Parks and Recreation, Chuck, pretty much the whole [adultswim] roster, Community…I really liked Party Down, but maybe because I’ve done that job. I fully agree that 30 stands head & shoulders above everything else, but there are a few gems.

Also Family Guy has totally lost me. (I think is was the Joaquin Phoenix joke a while back, it seemed really mean, in a bully sort of a way.)

Doea Men Of A Certain Age count? I’m really enjoying that, as well as the new Kids In The Hall (Oh god I love that so much….)

It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia is the most underrated show as far as Emmy nominations go.30 Rock has too much going on every episode,juggling stories between Tina Fey,Alec Baldwin,Tracy Morgan,and all the other characters.it seems that 30 minutes is too short for that show.It just doesn’t feel right to me.Sunny is near perfect and definitely needs its recognition.

@ Tim

Yup. Family Guy is about as lazy as it gets.

I have to say, 30 Rock is an awesome show and, in my opinion deserves its 22 nominations. What makes 30 Rock a great comedy is its consistency in all areas: plots, characters, humor. But really Nattyb, you can’t say that the only two good comedies going around are 30 Rock and Family Guy. Family Guy is the complete opposite of 30 Rock, its plots are unimaginative, their characters are constantly inconsistent and unrealistic, and yeah it’s funny for a “fart joke” kind of comedy. What I want to know is where’s the credit for The Office or Flight of the Concords? You can’t post an article like this without giving credit to other nominees, or at least explaining why the others aren’t deserving of their nomination (assuming you have actually watched them before)!

@ Gajotres

I’ve seena couple episodes of the Big Bang Theory and it’s pretty funny, actually. Definitely geared towards nerds, that’s for sure.

I wish Better Off Ted would get more recognition. The show is genius.

It’s Always Funny in Philadelphia is the funniest show on television. Period.

Curb is probably up there, too, though.

30 Rock isn’t better than those, but it is really good, and it’s nice to see that a quality show with clever writing is actually nominated. Family Guy? Please.
