In no particular order and including stuff that's currently on hiatus (which is pretty much everything atm):
Peep ShowBreaking BadCommunityParks and RecreationThe Soup30 RockHappy EndingsLouieOnion News Networkwhatever Tim And Eric are doing at a given time
Stuff I watch that isn't quite top ten: South Park, How I Met Your Mother, SNL, Switched At Birth, Eagleheart. Haven't seen enough episodes of the new HBO comedies to say one way or another. Suddenly realizing that, despite my love of the format, I'm barely watching any current one-hour serialized dramas.

I pulled waaaaaaay back on my Homeland praise after that finale. I'll probably still watch it when it comes back.

Top ten running or on hiatus, in no order, would probably be It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Breaking Bad, Venture Brothers, Louie, Justified, Game of Thrones, Workaholics, Mad Men, Archer, Modern Family

Billy On The Street is a goofy man-on-the-street pop culture quiz parody on Fuse, really stupid show but also pretty consistently one of the funniest things i've watched lately

Right? It's kinda sad that I don't hear more people talking about it. Chris Elliott has a show again! And it's really funny!
― Quiet Desperation, LLC (Deric W. Haircare), Friday, 8 June 2012 00:23 (eleven years ago) link
I think the only shows I really like that are on right now are Workaholics and Portlandia. Shows that I've sort of forgotten about, but which I'm sure are as good now as they were when I used to watch them: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Top Chef.

it's really the only reasonable way to godan, if you like adventure time, i find regular show to be a much smarter version of same with more, like, teenage motivations

oh Regular Show is great too, it's in my top 20 (along with Green Lantern, Ben 10, ATHF, Black Dynamite, Boondocks, etc etc basically this summer I've only watched Cartoon Network/Adult Swim, SYTYCD and tennis)
― keeping things contextual (DJP), Thursday, 26 July 2012 16:44 (eleven years ago) link
looking forward to this fall with new episodes of the critical darling NBC sitcoms and the Wed night ABC juggernaut
also it's sort of terrible but I really like Grimm? and looking forward to Mob Doctor and all of its Rapaporticy

xp to jjj: i entered the show with that philosophy, figured i'd watch it once and then turn off.i have an abiding hate for "har har look at the freak tv" and i assumed it would be reno 911 THE REALITY SHOWthat show started oddly, twisted a bit and then suddenly got very very inclusive. there's no poking of fun by the end of the first episode and most of the standard reality tropes are quickly subverted. there's a no-judgment, hanging with the crew feel that makes it seem almost like a straight up scripted drama. the characters are likable, human and basically kind at heart and so is the direction.if you didn't get all the way through the first episode, you should try it.

like the big reveal at the end of episode one seemed pretty wrongheaded and creepy considering the obv setup for the whole show was "look at these bumpkin morons" so instead of being an interesting insight it felt a lot more like they were using the transgendered officer as a "whoa check out the freak" signpost which i found stomach turning.

This is the only kind I like tbh. People fascinate me. idk. Not all shows like that are making fun of the people though some totally are, yes. I know it's mostly shitty tv but I'd rather watch that than all the "funny" sitcoms people love round here. *cough* community *cough*
― (✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Thursday, 26 July 2012 17:14 (eleven years ago) link
I've never seen the show you're talking about though. I'm just realizing that the things I do watch (Hoarders, Gypsy Wedding etc.) fall into that category.
― (✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Thursday, 26 July 2012 17:15 (eleven years ago) link
Oh I like Girls and Louie too. Those are good.
xp we got different things from that reveal. having grown up in the bible belt, i didn't think they seemed like bumpkin morons, they felt like very familiar types to me.
― I dont even know that I think this sucks per se (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 26 July 2012 17:16 (eleven years ago) link
also the gentleness of that reveal, the obvious courage it took for diesel to do it and the weird mix of frustration, love, derision and pride that the chief took in forcing it forward was kind of amazing
the second ep explores a kind of fluid and nearly abstract sexuality among the characters without guilt or jealousy in a way that i've never seen on television. there's no freakshow elements far as i can see, a lot of exhibitionism but everyone appears to me to be accepting and grateful for the opportunity. the direction is treading lightly and doesn't rubberneck at obvious points; i also like the cartoon backstory bits.

i might be treading some of my loathing for the reality stuff i am talking about into the show, so i am def not making pronouncements on high abt it, i just have a super hair trigger abt all those sorts of shows. because i hate them.
