Parks & Rec, B99 and Veep.
ReplyDeleteNot The Big Bang Theory.
ReplyDeleteThe only three comedies I watch: Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and Veep.
ReplyDeleteEpisodes, Modern Family and TBBT because Penny
ReplyDeleteModern Family
ReplyDeleteHIMYM, not on the list.
ReplyDeleteI watch a lot of comedies, so mines The Big Bang Theory, Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Middle and Modern Family. They all have a great cast and work so well together. Penny and Sheldon or Amy Poehler and absolutely anyone :)
ReplyDeleteTo me the best is Modern Family.
ReplyDeleteModern Family, The Big Bang Theory & Veep!
ReplyDeleteCommunity, B99 and The Crazy Ones.
ReplyDeleteExactly the same for me
ReplyDeleteThat's very easy: Community and Parks and Rec...
ReplyDeleteI only watch 3 so going with them, TBBT, Community & Crazy Ones.
ReplyDeleteVeep
ReplyDeleteCommunity, TBBT just for Amy,Howard,Sheldon,
ReplyDeleteCommunity, Parks and Rec and B99
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Parks and Recreation! Also voted for Community and Hot in Cleveland.
ReplyDeleteI think the Parks & Rec cast is easily the best. Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman are doing a tremendous job, the rest of the cast is doing amazing as well and even the tertiary characters are casted magnificently!
Where is About a Boy?
ReplyDeleteThe Crazy Ones and Parks and Rec.
ReplyDeleteSo many great choices! It's soooo hard!
ReplyDeleteI had no doubt Parks and Recreation has the best cast, but everything else is so close! TBBT has Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik along with everyone else who is also great, the whole cast of Community, B99, The Middle and New Girl are also so great.... damn it! It is so hard to choose!
In the end I went with Parks, TBBT and Community, but everything else has pretty much a great cast
Now, now, you may not like the show, but you have to admit the actors do a great job. There is a reason for Jim Parson wining the emmys every year, he does a magnificent role as Sheldon, and that can't be denied even if you dislike the character. Kaley, Mayim, Jhonny, Simon and Kunal all do a pretty great job (especially Mayim Bialik, I'd say she is near Parson level)
ReplyDeleteHIMYM has one of the best casts I've seen in comedies: Neil Patrick Harris, Josh Radnor, Cobbie Smulders, Alyson Hannigan and Jason Segel, all of them did wonders through the show's run. And Cristin Milioti was such an awesome and welcome addition in the final season!
ReplyDeleteActually, I like TBBT, quite a lot even (though less and less as the years go by). But to say that the cast is better than those from most of these other shows is just wrong.
ReplyDeleteBig Bang Theory, Modern Family, and Brooklyn Nine Nine
ReplyDeleteCommunity, hands down for me. Only show from the list I watch.
ReplyDelete- Parks & Rec's Amy Poehler, Adam Scott, Rashida Jones, Aziz Ansari, Rob Lowe, Aubrey Plaza & Nick Offerman has got to be the most star studded cast on TV.
ReplyDeleteVeep, Modern Family and Community.
ReplyDeleteIn 4th PnR.
I agree. I still watch the show, but the other mentioned series have stronger casts.
ReplyDeleteAn Emmy is indeed an indication of talent, but many times goes to the more famous and successful show. If it were talent alone Tatiana Maslany would already have at least one and Steve Carrell's portraial of Michael Scott would have earned him one.
You should also watch Community :)
ReplyDeleteDon't forget Chris Pratt, he is really going places.
ReplyDeleteThe Mindy Project! Also, Veep, Modern Family and The Middle.
ReplyDeleteBBT
ReplyDeleteI don't think he does that great of a job acting. In his interviews he already seems very much like his character.
ReplyDeleteNew girl
ReplyDeleteHouse of Lies, TBBT and Brooklyn 99
ReplyDeleteThe Mindy Project should be on this list but I picked Parks and Rec, Veep and maybe New Girl.
ReplyDeleteCommunity hands down. Next would be Parks & Rec.
ReplyDeletebaby daddy
ReplyDeleteIf there was an 'Other' option, it would be Raising Hope :)
ReplyDeleteModern Family, because it has Ed O'Neill. Doesn't mean I like the show, though.
ReplyDeleteCommunity hands down. Danny Pudi leading the gang and with the inclusion of the bull dog from Breaking Bad(I can never remember his name Jajaja) and the return of John Oliver it just stomp on everyone else.
ReplyDeleteB99!!! And The mindy project..
ReplyDeleteThe best are Veep and Brooklyn 99 - in both these shows, I love each and every character of the ensemble.
ReplyDeleteClose second - Parks and Recreation
Tied in third place - The Mindy Project and New Girl
Parks and Rec is CRIMINALLY underrated in so many ways, least of all in regard to its cast. They're absolutely brilliant. I also went with Modern Family, where I don't think there's a single weak link, and Community.
ReplyDeleteParks and Recreation.
ReplyDeleteThis show has an ensemble one, strong lead, great supporting characters and good guests.
Its serialized nature helps too (Veep, another serialized comedy, is my #2).
New Girl!!! No doubt
ReplyDeleteOther, other, and other. The Goldbergs has the best overall comedy cast to me. They each bring a great element to the show, making a true ensemble. Next I would say is the Enlisted cast. Again, it doesn't have just one or two funny characters. The entire cast is brilliant and they bring diverse types of comedy to the show. Picking a third is hard because there are about 5 shows I would choose before anything listed. In the end, I'll choose Trophy Wife. Yes, the show itself tends to veer into the uber-wacky but the characters are awesome. The diversity in personalities really makes the show and I love how each character can bring the funny when you least expect it.
ReplyDeleteFor me the problem is that Sheldon never grows so it's kind of a one-note acting job. It's hard to excel as an actor when you're not given much new to explore. That's why I think his Emmy wins somewhat stem from the show's popularity instead. I like the show and watch it weekly, but something needs to shake them all up because it feels like the characters are in a rut.
ReplyDeleteNew Girl definitely on the lead. Then, TBBT and The Middle.
ReplyDeleteNew Girl! No competition for me :)
ReplyDeleteAgree! Also, I'd add Parks and B99.
ReplyDeleteJohn Oliver FTW xD
ReplyDeleteI hated the B99 pilot. Too silly for me. Did it get better?
ReplyDeleteWeren't you a fan of Raising Hope? How was B99 any sillier than that show was?
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy Raising Hope for awhile and yes it was silly. I guess it was because I didn't like any of the characters in the pilot of B99 and it lacked any heart so the silliness grated instead of felt tempered. Raising Hope was all about the heart coupled by laughs. I'm not saying that B99 didn't get better, jsut that I hated the pilot and had no urge to watch another second of it.
ReplyDeleteI also hated B99. But I accidentally saw the second episode and got hooked. Trust me, it got much much better.
ReplyDeleteAh, so it's the context of the silliness that you didn't take to. That clears it up.
ReplyDeletePart of it is also the professional setting. Cops shouldn't be that infantile. Most of Raising Hope's silliness takes place in their home. Overall I just didn't find anything to like about B99.
ReplyDeleteFair enough. As for myself, I don't require half-hour comedies to be grounded or heart-warming or even that realistic. My only stipulation is that I find it funny. That's probably why I like comedies such as Always Sunny, The League, Community etc.
ReplyDeleteThanks. That's really good to know. I'll try to give it a second chance this summer.
ReplyDeleteI didn't find B99's pilot all that funny to be honest. More eye-rolling. I also tend to find Community more clever than actual laughing funny. I'm not sure I've seen the other two. Maybe The League if that's the one that moved to BET after being on another station awhile ago.
ReplyDeleteThe League and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia are FX comedies that have since shifted to FXX.
ReplyDeleteJust a heads-up. The show sets up a potential relationship aspect between two of the leads toward the end of the season. It doesn't become the focal point of the show but it is a significant part of a few episodes.
ReplyDeleteTatiana Maslany should win it every year.. she is amazing actress.
