Most of them are awful.
Years ago it was said that TV was a wasteland. I use to disagree but with the crap that's on now I've changed my mind. It's entertainment for morons.
I don't watch sitcoms because these "funny" shows are not funny. If Cheers came back with new episodes, I would watch that.
I don't watch a lot of television, but I sometimes get "in the mood" for mindless diversion, just like anyone. What I find, however, is that most comedies aren't funny. Sigh. My two favorite shows are NCIS and Eureka...both of which mix drama and humor. Maybe I'm just getting old and set in my ways.....
There are quite a few very good sitcoms right now, including New Girl, Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother and 2 Broke Girls. There are others too, but I can't watch them all, I have a hard enough time keeping up with the few that I do watch!
Too many sitcoms rely on x rated jokes to be funny. It is much harder and I think more entertaining to be different. However I sound old...
Any sitcom is better than the reality shows.
ROTFLOL
Most sitcoms are pretty lame and many of the HR people I know who constantly deal with employees don't watch sitcoms. The reality of our work is enough.
A way to escape and lighten the day.
I love Betty White and it is about fabulous Cleveland! – talking about “Hot in Cleveland”
The characters are a bunch of science geeks, what's not to like about that? – talking about “The Big Bang Theory”
They are all just too stupid and we don't think they are funny or entertaining.
Reality shows have taken over! I miss the good sitcoms of the 80s and early 90s. There are no good sitcoms of families any more. I think "Friends" changed that. Not sure if it is good or bad yet, just different.
Between all of the "reality" shows, fashion design shows, musical talent shows, and the CSI type shows I was not aware that there are still any sitcoms
Some dialogue on sitcoms is so "one-liner" humor--and negatively focused that I just can't watch. 2 Broke Girls is an example of that. Negative sterotypes, bad premise. Ugh.
I'm a "M*A*S*H" "Frazier" "Cheers" "All in the Family" fan. I'm a snob that prefers intellectual comedy, hence my appreciation of "Doc Martin".
There are only two sitcoms that I watch, mostly I watch political commentary and Jeopardy.
Just raunchy crap. Subtlety is funnier but apparently dumb is what people want to watch.
Love the dry humor!
Two and a Half Men was the best sitcom out there for years and years until Charlie Sheen lost his mind. Such a shame...it was genuinely funny.
Are there any others out there? I don't watch much TV. Too many facebook games, video games and reading a good book to actually watch anything but the Big Bang Theory.
