In November, when baseball's over and shows start going into reruns (or I start getting sick of my procedurals) and I need something else to do after work...
i've really enjoyed the office. it does have a lot of 'embarrasment humor' which i find very difficult, and there are occasional moments where i have to turn away from the screen because i can't stand it, but the other good funny moments are well worth it. and ... yeah. worth watching :) 3_obsidian_fish loves Always Sunny; i saw the first ep and wans't really into it, but do plan to try again.
I could never watch a full episode of the American version of The Office. I could handle the British version, but only in small doses. It's definitely not something I'd binge on - I actually rented the first season from Blockbuster and had to return it long before I'd brought myself to finish the first disk. They both seem to be from the school of comedy that takes advantage of laughter as a response to discomfort, but the American version seems to be harder for me to deal with.
The Office was really awesome the first couple of seasons, but then it got kind of methodic and all about Jim/Pam, which is sweet and all but enough, you know? I haven't seen Always Sunny, but I've heard really great things about it, and it's on my list. I kind of picked 30 Rock by default - but it's hilarious and smart, so I stand by my choice :D
The office is great, but it gets really repetitive and you kind of know what to expect.
30 Rock is fun but to be honest I don't know any more than the first season. I'm working on that.
Always Sunny has a particular brand of funny that I get along with very well. It's probably not the best show on TV, but it really does something DIFFERENT. It's not boring. It's gross and wrong and bad in all the best ways. I voted for Always Sunny because I think it's the most unique and therefore the most worthy.
That is, if you've already seen all of Arrested Development.
by the way, Always Sunny is a slow start. Watch a bunch of episodes before you make a final decision, it sometimes takes a while to get the characters.
So here's the thing about Arrested Development: I started with the last season. The first episode I saw was the best half hour I ever spent in front of a screen, and I loved the rest of the season too. But now that it's over and I own all of it, the first season is a bit of a letdown: it's just building up to all the jokes that they were already used to and riffing off of by the time I jumped on board. I need to step away from it for a few more years, and then come back to it having forgotten most of it. Hopefully it'll be funnier that way.
Really? That's not an adjective I expected to hear applied to that show. Interesting. Regardless, though, I don't think that's the comedy I'm looking for...
dude, modern family really is as funny as people keep saying it is. only 4 episodes so far, but might be worth getting into a new sitcom! you can watch the episodes on abc.com
Um, of course I could. I'm not allowed to also solicit recommendations from my friends? Why comment on my journal for the first time in forever just to be like that?

Also, there are lots of potential solutions outside of your tv. Remember your wii? And, y'know, your friends...
