now that it is final time, find myself watching more television. like sitcoms mostly, anybody know of anything good that may have missed?
find that the "office" has been less than inspiring lately. like the show the best when it stays in the office.
enjoy "its always sunny in philadelphia". it is like "how i met your mother" only inhabited by people would hang out with.
british sitcoms: "spaced" hilarious!
what am missing?

I still think 30 Rock is the funniest show on TV, so I'd add that to your DVR list
That new show with Molly Shannon and Selma Blair, Kath and Kim, is hilarious - or at least my household thinks so
Non sitcoms for you - Desperate Housewives kicked it back up this year. I thought the plot of fast-forwarding into the future was going to be ridiculous, but it's been good. Also, after countless recommendations from Natedawg, I finally watched Gossip Girl, and love it.

Gossip Girl, the best "worst" show on TV. Love Chuck Bass....

Most people say that if you enjoyed Spaced you'd enjoy Black Books. I've found The IT Crowd to be quite funny, and Coupling is definitely my favorite Britcom (the first 3 seasons anyway, I didn't find the final season to be up to par).
As for comedies made in the US the only shows I'm watching now are Chuck and HIMYM, so I'd be interested to see what other people are recommending as well.

have you ever seen "the thin blue line"? i think that it is one of the best sitcoms-US or british. rowan atkinson is brilliant and the rest of the cast makes it the best ensemble sitcom i have ever seen.
going to check out black books for sure.
30 rock IMO is going the way of the office. sometimes it seems like when a show gets popular (although fromm what i hear 30 rock doesn't have the best ratings) the writers try too hard. but alec baldwin makes the show, so i'll keep watching it for him.

Can't say that that's one that I've seen before. I'll have to see if it's available on netflix.
