You've met Seth McFarland? O.o **envies**
The show just cracks me up every time, the way they totally break the scene to screw with you reminds me so much of the Pythons, but then the way that some gags are so snappy and some just stretch out forever demonstrates a perfect sense of comic timing which I think comes from the large group writing process. And unlike so many comedies, they are writing what they find excruciatingly funny rather than what they think the largest number of people will find vaguely funny.

@Kell - i guess you just have to be a geek to enjoy Big Bang. Funny thing is its by the same guy who does Two and a Half Men. Scot likes it but is not a sicence geek, but I guess being married to one has worn off on him! have you ever read the "vanity" cards he writes at the end of the shows. Some of them are just too freaking funny. He had one where he thanks the religious right for picketing his show. Says every time they write up a big thing about how evil the show it the ratings goes up. Wanted to know if he could put in request for picketing during the ratings season! LOL

Funny you mention Python! I have always thought of Family Guy as being a bit of a Benny Hill/Python cross! The crazy stoopid physical comedy of Benny & the careful and thought out humor of Python. I know what you mean about the writing to what they find funny! I find my self often asking people what the reference to something is, or laughing when others are looking at me and me going "how did u miss that!" they have so many small, background one off things that there is so much to see & miss that is often very funny or just plain wrong! The kewl thing is Seth is like that. I have met him like three times for real, and one time kind of in passing. I met him at two parties & needless to say he was the center of a lot of attention, I just wish I had spent some real time talking to him! Mostly it was just saying hello, shaking his hand and then him talking to lots of people. This is back when Scot was a regional property manager for high end lofts and used to know/ rent to/ talk to a lot of guys from Cartoon Network and the other TNT shows. It was fun & let me tell you Seth, heck most of those guys & girls, have a bizarre knowledge of worthless pop and culture references they throw out all the time. I miss those parties! Even if I was odd man out at most of them :-(

Weeds and Entourage. bloody hell these shows are f'ing funny!

weeds is funny? anyways, i have started to watch Tudors, its pretty awesome, the sex scenes, the boobs, Jonathan Meyers. its pretty awesome!

now i am watching Supernatural it's a great show as for me

ehh im open to almost any show. i basically watch anything i lke from disney, nick, and cartoonnetwork. but my favorite shows are CSI Miami, House (havent seen much of it but its funnnny), whose line is it anyways (havent seen it in a while tho), full house (seen every episode), and some others i cant think of

csi miami is my fav show & OH MY GOD I LOVE WHOSE LINE!


ugh, i dont like full house. i never thought it was funny

So, being a Sci-Fi buff I have been trying to watch the show "V" on ABC... Is anyone else watching the show? I just can not bring myself to really get into it... I feel like I am missing something, or it is missing a lot (I lean towards the latter for obvious reasons)... It just makes me miss KyleXY... oh well, at least I have Fringe!

The CSI shows used to be good... I spend too much time in Miami to buy into CSI:Miami and I miss Grissom to much to watch the original anymore... Oh well...

I do love my Family Guy, The Venture Brothers, and to some degree American Dad

Anyone have any other shows to recommend?

Well after hearing about it various times, I looked up Glee online today, and watched all 10 episodes, and I'm already impatient for the next one to come out today! It's fun in a kind of simple way, and some parts are a little cheesy but that's nicely balanced out with a little gentle wit. So I'd recommend it. Also, did I mention DOCTOR WHO! The latest episode was so brilliant, its taken me a week and a half to recognise how awesome it was and post about it here. Of course, it just makes me anticipate the Xmas/New Year specials all the more. And I don't know HOW Stephen Moffat plans to take things after Russell T Davis leaves. Either he has to set things back to a normal state, with the Doctor running around being fun and not all intense and fateful like Tennant is being right now, or he has to change everything and make the whole thing even more epic - both of which seem pretty impossible. but yeah, awesome.

alex, where did you watch glee?
