matthew perry loser show only lasted nine episodes but it was a loooooong nine episodes.

i think it's cute that apparently Scrubs + Cougar Town occur in the same universe. "Hooch is crazy."

cougar town is pretty awesome ... the only other network shows that bring the LOLs as consistently this season were parks and recreation and community.

I dropped Cougar Town before it got good, apparently, and now it seems like a lot of work would be needed to get up to speed. I'll get there before next year...maybe.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 7 June 2011 07:22 (twelve years ago) link
Also, I liked Mr. Sunshine...but I get why people wouldn't.
it's a bit weirder (and not that representative) of what cougar town has become, but this still had me cracking up:

That was pretty funny indeed!

i thought happy endings sort of killed it? none of the jokes were partic quote-worthy but just the gangs all here vibe and the joy and ease of their interactions, even the two lame blonde characters were p good idk
― señorita buttstench (Lamp), Thursday, 29 September 2011 05:31 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I really dug it. It does what it does very well.
― Rory's new misogynist car (Gukbe), Thursday, 29 September 2011 05:41 (twelve years ago) link
the one lame blonde character is generally pretty good and the other one truly is lame but looks like elisha cuthbert so i'm always tolerating her. this show keeps maintaining that watchability baseline, maybe even raising it (himym: watch yr back, incumbency can only save you for so long). casey wilson looking better than ever.
― balls, Thursday, 29 September 2011 05:43 (twelve years ago) link
i think theyve started to figure out what those two are good at as the shows progresses, elish cuthbert feeding peeps to her snake was p great, i thought. one of the things i really like abt this show versus himym or some of the other recent hangout comedies is that the empahsize how lame and comfortable the characters taste in music/movies/culture is
― señorita buttstench (Lamp), Thursday, 29 September 2011 05:50 (twelve years ago) link
you guys otm, show had a very solid season premiere
― wes2gully (some dude), Thursday, 29 September 2011 11:13 (twelve years ago) link
That isn't Elisa Cuthbert? Hah! I was all proud of myself for recognizing her :P
Julie Bowen was on fire last night - Law & Order Special Parking Unit! I died.
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Thursday, 29 September 2011 14:43 (twelve years ago) link
no that is her, i just think balls mean the character 'looks like' the actress who is playing her
bowen's big speech was definitely one of the first modern family scenes in a while that i thought was really great
― wes2gully (some dude), Thursday, 29 September 2011 14:52 (twelve years ago) link
ahhh - gotcha. I'm terrible at recognizing any celebrity lower than "A list" so it was a shining moment that was almost taken away from me!
Mitchell spitting as he cried was pretty lulzy too. Much better episode than the first two! My husband is the EXACT same way as Cam when hungry. Heh.

I don't really get the love for happy endings, everyone just seems like such self-satisfied dicks.
― Inspector Spacetime (Nicole), Thursday, 29 September 2011 14:59 (twelve years ago) link
i kind of like that the show isn't trying hard to make the characters likable (but also isn't quite going in an opposite seinfeld/it's always sunny direction). the worst thing about a lot of pretty young ppl network sitcoms is the overwhelmingly needy stench of LOVE US LOVE US LOVE US.
― wes2gully (some dude), Thursday, 29 September 2011 15:02 (twelve years ago) link
Julie Bowen had some good moments but I thought that was a really terrible episode.

why didn't my dvr record happy endings last night? :(

this dvr is so terrible. i can never get it to work properly

Cougar Town has been delayed until March, with its episode order cut from 22 to 15. RIP.

huh.
― s.clover, Thursday, 16 February 2012 01:27 (twelve years ago) link
during this ep of The Middle there is a scene where sue is talking to the older brother and a pink jacket keeps jumping around the shot with every cut and disappearing and reappearing. it is very distracting
― Mordy, Thursday, 23 February 2012 01:18 (twelve years ago) link
Huh- I didn't notice that.

I've come to the conclusion that, with the exception of Happy Endings, ABC's Wednesday night lineup is an embarrassment of winning comedic performances on shows that I don't otherwise care for at all.

Gave up on Suburgatory so I'd agree.

Like, if your only requirement for a solid sitcom is funny people being funny, you could do much worse.
― Sam Handwiches (Deric W. Haircare), Thursday, 22 March 2012 02:00 (twelve years ago) link
there is so much talking on this thread about the other shows that aren't modern family...modern family is pretty much the best comedy.
― humba (NZA), Thursday, 22 March 2012 19:09 (twelve years ago) link
the little segments over the closing credits in modern family (like the one when everyone's talking about gloria's mispronunciations) >>> pretty much any other entire 30 min sitcom on the air now.
― humba (NZA), Thursday, 22 March 2012 19:10 (twelve years ago) link
sorry modern family hasn't been great since season 1 (maybe halfway thru season 2 to be generous)
― Mordy, Thursday, 22 March 2012 19:12 (twelve years ago) link
The best ABC comedy on Wednesday is Happy Endings

The little pre-opening-credits vignette yesterday with Phil Dunphy in the doctor's office was pretty funny. I don't remember word for word but they were talking about the real estate market:
[Doctor behind Dunphy, putting on a glove.]Dunphy: Well, it's a buyer's market so if you're a seller, y'know...Doctor: Bend over.Dunphy: Right, so it's not great for them, but...Doctor: No, bend over.

Modern Family is still funny, don't get me wrong

Showrunner carnage continues as Cougar Town moves to TBS. This seems less contentious though.

A couple of years ago, I started stopping on this occasionally, then started watching whole episodes in syndication (so all jumbled up), and I'm finally watching it from the beginning. Long way to go--I'm halfway into Season 3--but most of the time I love it. Don't know if there's a major drop-off at some point, as there usually is with long-running shows. There's not one of the 10 principals I don't like a lot, putting aside non-entity (so far) Lily. The most surprising thing is that a handful of times--Phil and Claire getting properly married for the first time in Hawaii, for instance--I think it even approaches art.
― clemenza, Sunday, 1 December 2019 17:27 (four years ago) link
I think it held up very well over the years (spoiler: Lily becomes an entity, and joins the good cast members. A later addition, not so much). I think Manny is one character that is even better in the latter part of the series.
― nickn, Monday, 2 December 2019 01:16 (four years ago) link
I have to disagree, I recently encountered a contemporary episode and thought it was utter hack, and I really liked this show at its height.
