A zinger is.... well, it's sort of hard to explain. It's more-or-less a putdown but said very quickly. You can't think for 10 minutes before you zing. It has to be quick.

There's virtually nothing on now that I would rearrange my schedule to see, but the ones I prefer are:

The Big House- (actually I've been going out of my way to catch this because I just know it's going to get cancelled quick.)
Girlfriends- only seen about 5-6 ep this season, didn't like it at all before
Half and Half- liked it more last year, every time I tune in now it's a rerun I've seen before
Rock Me Baby- this could be on NBC
Eve- Eve the actress isn't funny at all but the show has its appeal
King of Queens- very underrated show, not sarcastic and caustic like Raymond
Becker- if it hasn't gotten cancelled, I think it has. Ted Danson is a good actor

I am torn between three, so I'll just go againts the rules and pick three favorites:p

1. Will&Grace
2. Still Standing
3. Everybody Loves Raymond

Eve
Hope & Faith
The King Of Queens

my favs right now.

Friends (I don' t want it to end :( ) and My Wife & Kids. Every once in a while I'll watch Will & Grace and King of Queens.

I'm with Her
Friends
Will and Grace
8 Simple Rules
Less than Perfect

add to my list....
"The Big House"

That '70s Show.

Frasier has left the building.
And is sadly, no longer a current show.
With that said, here's my new list (which is getting shorter by the minute)

Sitcoms:
Arrested Development (best current show, it MUST be saved, or TV comedy may truely be dead)
Curb Your Enthusiasm (only on DVD)
Scrubs
8 Simple Rule

My Wife and Kids
The Drew Carey Show
George Lopez
The Big House
The King of Queens
Two and a Half Men

Survivor (returns in september)

And occassionally:
Less Than Perfect
The Bernie Mac Show
Crank Yankers
The Simpsons

Everybody Loves Raymond is my favorite current sitcom. ;) :p Charmed is my FAVORITE current show, but it wasnt listed here. The 2000s so far, in my opinion, are the worst decade for sitcoms. :(

My favorites are very few:

Everybody Loves Raymond
Two and Half Men


Borderline Likeability:

King of Queens
Whoopi (but her increasingly extreme political views are really starting to annoy me)

Scrubs
Arrested Development

Now that we know what is gone, and what is returning, here's my updated list....


Sitcoms:
Arrested Development (best current show)
Curb Your Enthusiasm (only through DVD)
The Simpsons
Scrubs
The Drew Carey Show
8 Simple Rules
According To Jim
My Wife and Kids
George Lopez
Less Than Perfect
The King of Queens
Two and a Half Men

Late Night/Sketch Comedy/Reality:
Saturday Night Live
Last Comic Standing
Reno 911!
Chappelle's Show
Late Night with Conan O'Brien
The Late Show with Dave Letterman
Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn
Survivor (returns in september)

And occassionally:
The Amazing Race
The Bernie Mac Show
South Park
Crank Yankers (although it keeps getting worse)

As far as sitcoms go, right now there is nothing funnier than Arrested Development.

I like Scrubs, Will & Grace, Macolm in the middle & The Simpsons on a occasion, but now that Friends is gone I don't know what I'll be watching regularly. Probably Joey when it aires.

Question- if a show is really not funny or any good but it still has good numbers & all.... would a network take it off?

Scrubs, 2 1/2 Men, George Lopez, and Everybody Loves Raymond.

I didn't include That '70s Show which was so lame this season with no effort whatsoever put into the storyline or writing. Otherwise it is one of my favorite shows.

2 1/2 Men has some of the best jokes and is a perfect vehicle for Charlie Sheen. I couldn't stand him on Spin City.

George Lopez has some of the most biting jokes and never plays it safe in regard to how life is and what it throws at you. You think this is a family sitcom? Watch again.

People bitch all the time that Everybody Loves Raymond has lost its charm and is just mean. I say look again and realize that there was always this mean streak in the show but now that they are getting older it is more pronounced. And regardless, the show is funny. Who cares if they are likeable? Were the Seinfeld characters ever likeable?They were the absolute worst human beings ever.

ELR has had some hysterical moments this year and I disagree with anyone who can say that some of these episodes aren't among the best. And yes they are mean and shallow.

Probably Everybody Loves Raymond and My Wife and Kids.

I love George Lopez (for the reasons descrbied above- the third season was extremely surprizing for me in terms of quality).

Also Less Than Perfect, which is one of the top five current sitcoms on tv today, IMHO.

Other than that the only thing I've watched since returning from Mexico a month ago is The Simpsons and the news. I'm one of thes males 18-34 that the networks are freaking over because they've suddenly disappeared.

With the new TV season upon us, some shows have left, and some shows have just begun.... and opinions have changed

So I apologize for bumping up this thread, but Im just wondering what are now your favorite current sitcoms??

Do you guys really, actually, truthfully like Joey that much after one episode that you'd consider it one of your favorite current sitcoms?

welll, you gotta consider the current state of sitcoms. It's crap, crappy and crappier. 10 years ago, it was different, but now if there's a sitcom decent enough that you'd wanna come back a second episode, that is quite scarse anymore.

I loved Joey from friends & I love Joey from Joey. I think thats enough for me. Plus it was actually really hard trying to think of 10 shows I actually watch/like.

Joey
Will & Grace
7th Heaven
The Simpsons
That 70s Show
Two and a Half Men

That's So Raven
Charmed
What I Like About You

Mine would have to be Joan of Arcadia.

My fave shows currently on the air...

"All My Children" (ABC, M-F, 1PM ET)
"Days of our Lives" (NBC, M-F, 1PM ET)
"Reba" (WB, F, 9PM ET)
"The OC" (FOX, T, 9PM ET)
"The Young and the Restless" (CBS, M-F, 12:30PM ET)

well, if we're discussing ALL shows on the air.

1. Family Guy (when it comes back)
2. South Park
3. Nip/Tuck
4. Six Feet Under
5. Arrested Development
6. The Simpsons
7. Charmed (used to be in my top 3 current shows a few years ago)
8. Joey

that's about all I watch for current shows

just curious, how do you go about that? Do you watch one and tape the other, or do you watch them on Soapnet?

Well, in my post I listed the timeslot given by the network. NBC has DAYS come on at 1 ET followed by "Passions" at 2 ET. My NBC affiliate, however, shows DAYS and PSNS an hour behind the most of the country, so DAYS comes on right after AMC here.

Y&R, for example, actually comes on a half-hour earlier here than the time I have listed for it. On my other CBS (I have 2 CBSs, ABCs, and PBSs), it comes on at 5 ET in the afternoon.

I just put the network-given times since they are the official slots.

And for the sake of killing my boredom, I just want to add that if I did have SOAPnet (and I don't), my life would be overrun with soaps. AMC and DAYS' scheduling prevents me from watching "The Bold and the Beautiful" and "As the World Turns," both of which sparked my interest GREATLY during the summer.

I liked the first episode, and the second too.... but after that I lost interest.
Maybe it was because I can't tolerate Mel Gibson.... hmm.

I watched that a couple weeks ago and suprisingly liked it.
With Grounded For Life leaving.... this is WB's best comedy.

After seeing some recent interview footage of him, I can relate. I just don't think of him when I watch the show.

Not only his views (thats a whole different story).... but just because he's a bad actor. The episode where he guest starred was the worst.

*= hour long, not exactly a drama

The only one I watch is from Canada, the politically incorrect Les Bougons.

"JOEY!!!!!!" it's funny and we never really got to see Matt featured by himself on Friends... he is very talented and he has a great supporting cast with Drea De Matteo, Paolo Costantzo, Andrea Anders, and Jennifer Coolidge...people need to give it a chance ...it is hilarious.



FRIENDS 1994-2004 .....
don't hide from mama...

I **love** Arrested Developement and Scrubs. They used to show them in the holidays, every Tuesday night at 11:00 and 11:30 at night. (they should bring them back :( ) I also like desperate housewives, two and a half men, reno 911 and joey. :D
