brvheart 1,752 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 If I watch it tomorrow, it will be the first episode I watch. So honestly, I have no idea. Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I think the writers are too good to not pull it off and the viewers will stay. This show will only end when they don't feel like paying the actors millions per episode imo. I could be wrong, but I really don't see the show having any problems with ratings with Sheen gone.Sheen was incredibly good in that role though, the show is going to be a lot different.

speedz99 145 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I still haven't watched an episode, and am curious if it's actually funny, or "middle america" funny. Link to post Share on other sites

Or 'Big Bang Theory' funny, not 'Arrested Development' funny. Not even 'How I met your mother' funny, IMO. Link to post Share on other sites

SBriand 4 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I think HIMYM is funny. More funny than Big Bang which I find to be atrociously not funny. But Modern Family is without question the funniest show on network TV today. Link to post Share on other sites

For my money, it's the funniest laugh track sitcom on network TV. Not that that is saying much. In fact, for me, it's the only one worth watching. Jason Segal alone makes it worth watching.

wsox8 10 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I guess it's okay. Really the main thing that annoys me is Ted. I hate him. Link to post Share on other sites
Dread Aidan 8 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I don't watch any funny shows anymore.I think I'd like to get on the IASIP train, but I don't know when it boards. Link to post Share on other sites

HIMYM is OK but not a must see.I think Big Bang is terrible and pretty much unwatchable.Modern Family has some really, really funny moments, but tries too hard to be like Arrested Development. Still probably one of the funnier show on network TV, but it isn't in my regular rotation.HIMYM is the only comedy that I watch on a weekly basis. It can be pretty hit or miss. There are some really fantastic episodes though. Link to post Share on other sites
El Guapo 8 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I was given a copy of BBT season one this past week. I watched the first disk, but I am not sure if I can watch anymore. The laugh track is atrocious, and it's not really very funny. There is a moment here and there, but I don't see how they can take this awkward friends thing, but with only one chick and nerds, past one season. Link to post Share on other sites
Governator 54 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I think Jon Cryer's character (Alan) is hilarious and I find myself laughing at him more than anything on the show. Sheen leaving isn't going to ruin the laughs. What will ruin it is that it's pretty much 3 men now not 2 and a half... The character Jake is growing up pretty damn quick, he's got to be almost 20 in real life so it'll be interesting over the next couple of seasons how he evolves (Goes to college, stay at home bum, turns out like charlie, blah blah).

But Modern Family is without question the funniest show on network TV today.People keep looking at me strangely when I tell them I don't watch Big Bang because it really isn't that funny. I just assumed it was another case of I'm the guy who doesn't watch the show that everyone else is obsessed with (see also: The Office, Parks and Recreation, Arrested Development, HIMYM, Scrubs, Modern Family...the list is endless). TBH, I really soured on network TV and stopped watching it completely. I hate getting interested in a show and then having the network suddenly cancel it arbitrarily. I watch basic cable shows (FX, AMC, USA, TNT) because at least the cable stations will get through a complete season before making a decision about the show's future rather than failboating a struggling show and shipping it off to obscurity in favor of another show where D-list celebrities do stupid shit for a paycheck. Full disclosure, I've never actually seen an episode of HIMYM and I find Neil Patrick Harris to be incredibly funny, so maybe I should make an exception there. All the other shows I've seen and just didn't like. Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,752 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 The best shows currently on TV are IASIP, Modern Family, and Parks & Rec. There is really no need for debate, as this is fact, not opinion. Link to post Share on other sites
wsox8 10 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Do I need to watch IASIP in order or not? I've seem a few episodes randomly and it just didn't seem that good. Link to post Share on other sites

speedz99 145 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 But Modern Family is without question the funniest show on network TV today.I'm very glad they did so well at the Emmy's.Yeah, not a Ted fan either but Marshall and Robin are awesome. Barney has his moments but they overdo him now. He was perfect in season 1.This is pretty much how I feel about it. I like Lily sometimes too.In general, it's fairly creative and funny show. The best shows currently on TV are IASIP, Modern Family, and Parks & Rec. There is really no need for debate, as this is fact, not opinion.You mean after Louie? Link to post Share on other sites

There is really no need for debate, as this is fact, not opinion.Are you talking about all TV or just comedies? If you are talking about comedies I agree, I think Curb could be ranked up there also. If you are talking about all TV then that is a pretty strong opinion.I think Jon Cryer's character (Alan) is hilarious and I find myself laughing at him more than anything on the show. Sheen leaving isn't going to ruin the laughs. What will ruin it is that it's pretty much 3 men now not 2 and a half... The character Jake is growing up pretty damn quick, he's got to be almost 20 in real life so it'll be interesting over the next couple of seasons how he evolves (Goes to college, stay at home bum, turns out like charlie, blah blah).I 100% agree with this. The best part for me was watching Sheen and Cryer be awkward parents and seeing the kid do funny shit because of their bad advice. The kid getting old makes it a completely different show. Here's an idea: have the kid knock up a chick... then see Alan be a grandpa, and Jake be a parent. Boom! Someone pay me for this idea! Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,752 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Do I need to watch IASIP in order or not? I've seem a few episodes randomly and it just didn't seem that good.Yes, you should watch it in order. It's not an order-type show (like plot or whatever), but little things build on each other. Kind of like Curb your enthusiasm. You could just jump to when Leon moves in, but it's a much more enjoyable moment if you watch the 5 previous seasons.You mean after Louie?In my defense, I've only seen parts of one episode, and it was a little crass for the early evening with kids still awake.that is a pretty strong opinion.You know me. Also, it's pretty ridiculous that I didn't include Curb. Unforgivable really. Link to post Share on other sites
