Best TV Comedy

Post by Dan »

These are comedies that have been around for multiple seasons. This poll isn't about the best show overall, it's picking which one had the best season this year.

Eastbound and it ain't even close. If you don't vote Eastbound you're too poor to afford HBO. That's the only acceptable reason why you wouldn't vote it.

No you won't. HBO doesn't license their stuff to other companies, especially one that has recently surpassed them in customers.

Workaholics and Children's Hospital seasons were great, but probably a step below previous ones.
Community doesn't even deserve mention after how awful it was without Harmon.
South Park is balling hard this season, the three-part Game of Thrones/Console Wars trilogy is as good as anything they've done in years.
It was great to get Arrested Development back, but I hated the new format and I don't like they way they turned Michael into a straight-up asshole like everyone else in the family. Show lost its heart because of it.
Parks & Archer both worthy contenders.
But really it comes down to Eastbound & Down or Veep.
Voting Veep because Kenny Powers will win this handedly and Selina Meyer deserves to at least finish second. That whole cast just bodies every episode and its going to be insanely rewatchable.

Eastbound and Down. The most consistently funny show on TV in the past year. Was afraid the 4th season would not live up to its legacy, but it surpassed some seasons at certain points.

Shout out to Parks & Rec, another great show and a deserved number 2.

eastbound finished as one of the best comedy shows of all time

i love a few others on here, archer is maybe my favorite new show since Eb&d, but they all feel slight in comparison

Big Bang Theory is the most popular show for a reason.
