I tell people battle star galactica was so good. Most people I tell that to can’t get past the special effects. Also I found myself drinking way more when watching it. My cousin has hung out with Katie a bunch of times, and has invited me to some of his parties in Burbank. He said she’s hot as hell and really cool to hang out with. My cousins wife is a makeup artist and hangs with a lot of the big stars and he’s worked as a producer on a few shows like the Leno show so they are the poor friends that the stars like to hang with.
That’s cool your girl is a gamer, until you guys want to play the same system at the same time. I was “hogging“ the Weeuoo so my wife came home with a PS4 lol, to play mass effect. I’ve heard the new Zelda game is amazing.

I’ve been watching The Twelve. I love jury procedurals and have always been interested in jury dynamics. But this is a little weird because I believe it’s set in Belgium, and they have a different courtroom setup and procedure. The judge is asking witnesses questions, lots of odd stuff. It kinda drew me in.
Its a little slow and it’s dubbed, but I’m still liking it. The jury Foreperson is a smokeshow and I’m happy when she’s naked.

Started out going after the mob because of how they prayed upon Italians. Now just a typical money hungry attorney who used to be a politician.

Friends (until Chandler got Monica) The Office (until Robert California) Parks and Rec (beginning to end) Seinfeld (until pathetic George became Angry George) SportsNight (until Jeremy did the porn star) LetterKenny (not including Fartbook) Bob's Burgers (in total) Ballers (Is that a comedy? If so, I love it.) Big Bang (I've only seen season 1 so far, love it)
Those are recent favorites, recent being "since I got out of high school" anyway.
I have a really hard time liking sitcoms. I find them to be so unimaginative and predictable. No to Community, Schitt's Creek, How I Met Your Mother, that one with David Spade and Puddy, Good Place...they just don't make me laugh.
Got any suggestions?

I finally gave “Will and Grace” a chance once it was in syndication. I thought I might not like watching flaming gay characters but it wasn’t what I thought. Grace’s character is pathetic at times but Jack and Karen make the series worth it. I’ve watched Taxi, Cheers and Frasier over n over so its tough to go back n watch them. The problem with watching great series like them, along with Seinfeld, is they are hard to top. I’ve watched “Faulty Towers” a ton as well.
I would probably need some suggestions as well. I do want to go back and watch the British sitcom “coupling”. Never got a chance to finish that up.

Can you imagine All In The Family being on TV right now.

I could list 25 shows off the top of my head with 4+ seasons that are well worth watching. Last year we tried to like at least one new show. They all sucked!
The good news for me is that I have four seasons of Star Trek TNG left and Big Brother is on for an All Star season.
The search for good comedy continues...

Got any suggestions? How much of Community did you watch? I really liked chunks of it when it was absurd; liked it less when it became too much like silly 90210. NewsRadio was great for a while, and might have had another season or two before it hit the skids if not for Phil Hartman getting murdered. Of all of the Ricky Gervais shows, the one that made me laugh the most regularly was Extras. Just two seasons, but some brilliant lines in there and the cameos are perfect. His new show, After Life, is pretty good, too. I liked Atlanta, but only got about half way through season two. I don't have a channel that carries it and I'm waiting for one of the services I do have to get it. Wilfred was worth watching. The Simpsons was great for about 3-4 seasons when Conan O'Brian was either the head writer or the people he worked with still had the groove. Think that was something like seasons 2-5? The greatest shame of this era of resurrecting old shows is that you can't get the original WKRP in Cincinnati because of the cost of the music rights. Stupid in an era where I can listen to every one of those songs any time I want because I have an Apple Music subscription. The should stream it with an embedded command that taps into your Apple Music to play the song at the right time, or Spotify or whatever software you use to screw musicians out of cash. The 60s-70s showed us what they do with it when they get it and the answer is mostly overdose. I'm sure there are more. I've found a lot of the ones I really enjoyed at the time don't hold up for me now. Cheers was like that. I watched half a dozen episodes a while back, going back to the Coach era, and found it way too stilted and put together of bits like Lego. MASH, too. Plenty of lines I'll always have floating in the back of head from both of those series, but I have no reason to watch episodes.

How much of Community did you watch? I really liked chunks of it when it was absurd; liked it less when it became too much like silly 90210. About 20 minutes of the first episode. It came off like another contrived, "okay, it's been 45 seconds since the last joke, add one here" typical comedy. NewsRadio was great for a while, and might have had another season or two before it hit the skids if not for Phil Hartman getting murdered. I loved NewsRadio, but more for Hartman and Dave Foley than the actual comedy. I can't stand Andy Dick. Of all of the Ricky Gervais shows, the one that made me laugh the most regularly was Extras. Just two seasons, but some brilliant lines in there and the cameos are perfect. His new show, After Life, is pretty good, too. We'll give these a try. The girlfriend is half English, so it'll be easy to sell! Sweet! I liked Atlanta, but only got about half way through season two. I don't have a channel that carries it and I'm waiting for one of the services I do have to get it. Wilfred was worth watching. I gave that one three episodes. I just could get it going. The Simpsons was great for about 3-4 seasons when Conan O'Brian was either the head writer or the people he worked with still had the groove. Think that was something like seasons 2-5? The first decade of the Simpsons was worth waiting for on Sundays. Then it seemed to be "ripped from the headlines" and just flat out not funny. Ever again. The greatest shame of this era of resurrecting old shows is that you can't get the original WKRP in Cincinnati because of the cost of the music rights. Stupid in an era where I can listen to every one of those songs any time I want because I have an Apple Music subscription. The should stream it with an embedded command that taps into your Apple Music to play the song at the right time, or Spotify or whatever software you use to screw musicians out of cash. The 60s-70s showed us what they do with it when they get it and the answer is mostly overdose. I didn't know that about WKRP. It was a fun show. Jennifer or Bailey? You know Bailey is a wildcat in the sheets! I'm sure there are more. I've found a lot of the ones I really enjoyed at the time don't hold up for me now. Cheers was like that. I watched half a dozen episodes a while back, going back to the Coach era, and found it way too stilted and put together of bits like Lego. MASH, too. Plenty of lines I'll always have floating in the back of head from both of those series, but I have no reason to watch episodes. I watched half of the first season of Cheers recently. Nope. Nothing. We're re-watching Parks And Rec and it's funny the second time around. Good stuff Book. I appreciate the time it took to write this. We'll give Gervais a chance!

How about Two And A Half Men and Modern Family? Both of these suffered from predictability, insert joke here syndrome. I can't stand when I can imagine the writers sitting around, writing stuff. One says, "Oh I got it, let's have this guy say this!" and the rest of them agree that it's funny.

I’ll admit that I’ve only seen a couple of shows, but one of them I watched was about eating pussy! It was probably ten years ago but I still remember it. I thought it was friggen hilarious. How can you go wrong with a show about eating pussy?

There’s always money in the banana stand. I gave that a full season. It wasn't painful to watch, but it didn't entertain me either. I really tried hard to like that one because ALL of my friends like it. The same with Always Sunny. Always Sunny starts with a cheap racial joke. Instantly I'm out.

How can you go wrong with a show about eating pussy? I may have to go back to this one. I gave it five or so episodes many years ago. It felt more like I was just watching some dude live his life than I was being entertained. So many love it, though. I'll put it back on the list!

Not sure if you have heard about it, but Season One of You’re The Worst was the most hilarious, “I can’t believe she just said that” comedy I’ve seen in years on TV. it was amazing.
Unfortunately, after surprising me by renewing the show (that never happens) all the subsequent seasons were weak as they tried to takes themselves too seriously and smart. But Season 1 (it was in FX and FXX if I remember right) is worth streaming.
