ABC is by far the best sitcom network these days. CBS is probably second and NBC is third (they have nothing really).

My rankings:
1. 8 Simple Rules
2. According to Jim
3. Hope & Faith
4. George Lopez
5. My Wife and Kids
6. Complete Savages
7. Rodney
8. Less Than Perfect

Nothing against Less Than Perfect, but I've only watched a few episodes... The rest I watch a lot (though, 'Savages' and Rodney just started). I'm mad that I'm With Her got canceled, though. That was a good show.

The premise for I'm With Her was too simple.
I mean, there aren't many storylines that can come from a single idea. If they tweaked the series a little (maybe have him be a terrible struggling actor, rather than a substitute teacher)

HAhahahaha Riff!!! That is hilarious. Seriously, ABC has a lack of quality sitcoms. It has more than the other networks, but they're not that good.

My two favs are Less Than Perfect and George Lopez, becuase both break the mould of what ABC is going for in its sitcom line-up. LTP for not having any kids in it, and GL for being brash, crude and hilarious. The episode last season where Benny got the "clap" was hilarious, especially when she told George. Granted, this sitcom is probably best off not being aired in the 8pm hour....
