u sound like me, i hated the last 3 seasons of LOST and the finale. Same with Sons of Anarchy. People dying left and right. Perfect ending till Vic Mackey from the Shield runs over Jax by accident with his truck, even though Jax is on a suicide run. love married with children. i didn't know they had those episodes though,. i watched a lot of them but missed those 2. Al Bundy was a great tv character. People love Modern Family. i think it's awful across the board. It's like Al Bundy has a Puerto Rican wife you can't understand and his kids are either in bad marriages or gay, but they still bitch a ton and their kids are bratty.
The rest of the shows allowed into the all-time great comedies discussion, per me and in no particular order except of when I thought of them: Arrested Development Bob Newhart Dick Van Dyke Mary Tyler Moore All In the Family Barney Miller Vicar of Dibley Taxi WKRP In Cincinnati Frasier edit - and both versions of The Office
Favorite serious show....The Sopranos. Favorite sitcom.....It's Always Sunny. Favorite serious show that threw in some good comedy with each episode....House.
A really underappreciated program on right now that will most likely live in my Top 5 all time dramas by the time it's done is Humans.
ah i missed frasier on my list. great show. i liked a lot of these shows. like gid said - great comedies back in the 70's-80's. frasier was 90's.
It's Always Sunny started out great. Adding Danny Devito was brilliant. last few seasons have struggled.
Season 12 was amazing. The Gang Turns Black The Gang Goes to a Water Park Wolf Cola Dennis' Double Life Old Lady House Some of the best episodes the series has had.
the water park was brilliant. wolf cola was great. i forget the others. the best finale was the court room they did over the spilled coffee and car accident. that was a while back.
Bored To Death was another brilliant comedy that's hard to stack on an all-time list due to its short run.
Really good shows that didn't last long... Men Behaving Badly Titus Freaks and Geeks Police Squad! The Lone Gunmen Firefly Harper's Island Fawlty Towers
Firefly and its one season goes in this category too. Of course it was killed by fox saying hey lets take this show run its episodes out of order move the time it actually airs around all the time and then wonder WTF happened.
How old are you Lyman? Since befrore TV How you ever learn how to work the machine. That's what my Grandfather who died at 93 in 2004 use to call my computer when he came over. Imagine the dude watched every Sox game since who the fuck knows and died in June of 04
