Why do you Unreality folks refuse ‘Community”s coquettish invitation? >_<

[...] more than four or five shows during any given television season. Paul recently complained that he’s tired of what’s on TV these days, and that got me to thinking as to which television shows I actually do go out of my way [...]

lol @ Sean.

Probably a pissed off mall worker who got offended when someone didn’t enjoy the orange julius he served them. I love people who try to go on rants to make someone else look bad, and end up unintentionally revealing their inner-douchebaggery.

I actually had the exact same sentiments with Thursday’s lineup. Nothing felt very fresh. I was amused and smiled throughout. But didn’t find anything quite laugh-out-loud funny.

@joe- Yes, I do like Fringe. It changed days or something and I missed a whole bunch of episodes, so I got lost. I’ll have to see if it’s OnDemand.

@Sean- Wow. Someone gives their opinion and you freak out this badly? I didn’t realize you were paying for the content. You should surely demand your money back. You should also let us know where to go so we can read your literary awesomeness.

This is the reason I don’t publish my site to the public. Too many 12 year-olds.

I’ll start by saying that your occupation very well might have to do with this; when dealing with the internet (and especially working for an online mag), people feel a bit more entitled to immediacy and the bottom line.
On top of that, you work on strict deadlines. This could affect your perspective on games, movies, tv shows, etc. since you have to wade through a miasma of information.
I’d imagine that you would be more desensitized to it all than the average joe.

I will say that Fred Savage has alot to do with Sunny’s best episodes. He was heavily involved in Season 4, which I consider the peak point of the show.
They reached a plateau in Season 5, and again, he directed a handful of episodes there.

I’ve only watched season 6 premiere, but I do feel that the marriage ordeal was kinda tame.
The 1st episode of each season has been explosion. This one felt like a transition episode instead of a grand opening like the previous seasons.
What I really liked were the inside jokes. Mac telling Dee that he would rather take a shotgun blast to the face than marry her was priceless.

Ricky Gervais, however, is horrible. His atheist tirades (the Invention of Lying, his stand-up) and his self-obsession (everything else he does) preclude anything noteworthy that he has done.
Which I’m forgetting what that was…

“TV Thursday”? That’s hilariously stupid.

The proper name is called “Must See TV,” especially when one speaks of shows such as “The Office”, “30 Rock”, “Parks and Recreation.”

Damn, were you born after that slogan faded away? You don’t sound like you know much about TV pre-2000. Have you even seen Seinfeld, pilot-to-finale (…because you don’t sound like it. I think you just skimmed through few Wiki entries and b.s. this whole article.)?

Hopefully, you have a lucrative, six-figure day job lined up or have a rich, elderly boyfriend because you totally SUCK at this gig where you are trying like HELL to sound like you know what you are talking about TV shows and sound all clever and $#!t, but it’s altogether god damn pathetic because your articles are so run-of-the-mill yet reek of “I know numbers 1 through 10″ arrogance…yes, the reek is intoxicating! (And, yes, THAT’s kinda fascinating.) Otherwise, please stop embarrassing yourself ASAP and just feed yourself a bullet tonight.

I gotta disagree here. I think the first episode of 30 rock was actually funny from start to finish. Pube Shirt? I mean come on lol.

As for Its Always, I’ll agree that the first episode had me worried, but the second episode ended it brilliantly and had me howling at the end of it.

Guess it’s all just opinion

It all depends on the show. I could see something like Eastbound and Down last for seven seasons. Only as long as it’s giving us around 6-8 episodes a season and creating fresh stories.
Community is my new favourite comedy (along with Eastbound) but i can only see it lasting another two seasons (thats excluding it’s current second season).
And as for the Seinfeld being funny from start to finish, i have to stop you there. Seinfeld was terrible at first. It took the faith of the network to give the show another round and more episodes. Then the show formed into something beautiful. But, in my opinion, the show was amazing season three to season seven. After Larry left, the show had some funny still in it, but not quite the same.
The only show to be funny start to finish, MASH.

Community is my new favorite comedy show too. It’s brilliant. Everyone needs to give it a chance now and not discover it on dvd when it’s cancelled like Arrested Development.

Anyway, the first episode of season 7 of The Office has to be the worst episode of the show so far. I diddnt laugh once in it. Even in the worst episodes i previous seasons i still got one or two good laught out of it. If the next episode is just as bad im done with The Office. A shows that used to be in my top 5 favorite shows…

You need to watch Community. It’s the best comedy on tv right now imo.
