Hey what was Entourage considered, other than buttmonkey masturbation? If it counts as a sitcom, then it's the shittiest.

I can appreciate mindless humor and maybe I'm alone in this but lately I've only really found animated sitcoms to provide it for me. Traditional sitcoms really just suck. The last one I liked was How I Met Your Mother (minus the last 2 seasons). I like Modern Family but that doesn't really fall into the traditional sitcom definition. Jokes are more subtle and characters play off each other really well. There's no laugh track to tell you where the joke is, and upon multiple viewings, you end up finding more subtle humor jampacked in. Bob's Burgers is also great for that. For Mindless, Family Guy tends to deliver. I don't mean how this sounds but I think I'm too smart to enjoy a show as dumb as BBT. And I say this having mentioned Family Guy in a positive light.

yeah archer is a show you can dial in exactly how much care you want to have about the characters, plot, joke-getting. you can just get cheap laughs from sex jokes or do your homework on the more obscure references

Yeah, Archer is great for that. In fact, I think I have an entire season to catch up on. I started watching last season and the new format didn't work for me as a weekly show, but perhaps it will if I marathon 4 episodes at a time.

There was actually a sitcom based on the movie Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures. It lasted 7 episodes, that should tell you everything you need to know.

Basically anything Chuck Lorre did is the worst sitcom.

Any one with spare income has cable, satellite, streaming and/or all of the above. That's where the good programming is aired. Network will only get worse until it goes away completely.

there's no difference between pausing for a laugh track in a multicam and pausing for the actor to mug at the camera in a single cam

Everybody Loves Raymond was possibly the most unfunny and generic sitcom ever made and it gets my vote.

I was reading the gripes about the laugh tracks and it reminded me of cheers. Before almost every episode, a cast members voice could be heard saying "cheers is filmed before a live studio audience." They started doing that because people were complaining about their excessive use of the new dang laugh track machine they heard about. Cheers was actually that drat good in its time, that they didnt use a laugh track, and they didnt start the voice over thing until after a couple seasons. You can watch episodes and tell when the cast is pausing, fighting back their own laughter and waiting for the audience to quiet down enough to continue their lines. Yes, dear still sucks, and im sure everyone on that show is ashamed of themselves.

I mean I'm not a fan of Kevin Smith's at all but I kept waiting for Jim to end up on the receiving end of Randall's rant towards Dante at the end of clerks for being a smug low effort superior piece of poo poo and it just never happened until I stopped watching I thought the rest of the cast of that show was fun but if Jim was supposed to be the fish out of water character we related to the show didn't have much respect for its audience

my local station reruns Hot In Cleveland before the 6pm news. I think this is show only exists to employ sitcom actors who I haven't seen since I was 12.
