I think at this point 30 Rock is funnier than The Office.

I agree with that big time. I have yet to watch an episode and not laugh hysterically.

I can't watch 30 Rock. It's just painful.

Wow! It is seriously the funniest show on TV right now. Alec Baldwin, as horrible of a human being as he is, is brilliant in this show. I can't believe there are people that don't like it. Then again, Arrested Development didn't make it.

I've never liked The Office or 30 Rock. The only comedy on NBC I like is Community.

I agree that Alec Baldwin is really good in this role and yet every time Mrs. Sly & I give this show another shot we just aren't down.

SJ is correct that Community is great. Even retread Chevy is really strong.

I got to agree with SJ and say that Community is NBC's best comedy as of now. I really liked the office but this season has been alright at best. I tried to get into 30 rock, but after a few episodes I didn't think it was that funny. I guess I should check out there newest episodes sometime..

I love 30 Rock. I haven't started this season yet, but I think it's brilliant.

right now me and my wife watch 30 rock only every once in a while...she likes the office and while its funny here or there, its not out and out hilarious like most think.

southpark and curb are still the tops in 1/2 hour comedy shows for me.

Community is def. the best comedy on NBC. I cant stand 30 rock. Some parts of the office this year have been funny, but too much of it is getting old. If they have high ratings this year, it will primarily be because of the wedding, I think every office fan turned in for that one, but agreed, its been quite lack-luster so far this year.

Parks and recreation has some funny stuff, but it definitely isnt that great of a tv show. It is much better this season than last, however. But again, its only certain things that are funny, not the show as a whole.

Community is pretty good, and definitely has some funny parts, but it's slow to build with a lot of poor writing, a lot like Carpoolers was a year or two ago. I think people tune in expecting "The Soup"-funny, but it's not. We'll see if it lasts. Modern Family is funny, especially the cool dad, he's my favorite character. I wish I could act like that all the time. I used to be a huge Office fan, but I haven't really watched it much at all this year, it's not the "can't-miss" show it used to be.

I watched the first couple seasons of CYE when I had HBO a long time ago and couldn't stop laughing through the entire episode. Since it first started, I'm sure it's been the funniest show on TV every year, I just haven't been able to catch up. It seems like I only have time to really follow 2 or 3 shows every year.

Nope. Big fan. One more show funnier than 30 Rock.

I stopped watching Community when they moved to the same timeslot as FlashForward. Pity, it's a good show. I'll just have to catch it online or on DVD.

Never seen Dexter. I think it's on one of those fancy pants pay channels. I caught Modern Family last night. 2 episodes. It was ok. Seemed almost identical to but less funny than Sons & Daughters(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460676/ ), which only lasted one season on ABC with some reality TV confessionals thrown in. Why do sitcoms think they have to do that now?

Modern Family is my favorite new show this year. I also like Community. We were watching FlashForward but the wife and I bailed about halfway through last weeks episode. We both looked at each other like we were bored and I asked if she was enjoying it. She said not really so I deleted it. The premise was good but the acting was sub-par and I got more bored the longer we watched. I told her I didn't want to end up getting caught up in a show that I still might not know what was going 3 years from now. I was really looking forward to it being good but alas it was not.

my brothers love the showtime dexter. i gave the 1st season a shot. no real interest in crime drama's right now. it was ok but not that great.

there was a time where they put it on cbs. not sure if they still do.

watched modern family a shot last night....it was alright....

new southpark was once again hilarious.

in regards to other CC shows,

the jeff dunham show is terrible.
tosh.0 is good
michael and michael have issues is the best new show they have out. i've loved both of those guys' stand up and they are good together.
secret girlfriend i've watched once and i'm not sure how that show is even considered funny at all....
