I'd have to go Big Bang Theory. I really dont see what's so appealing about that show anymore. The first season was ok but I think it got tired quick. I know I'm the minority as it's wildly popular. Community FTW.

Hope this isnt posted often, I'm fairly new to Off-Topic but when I searched I didnt find any recent threads like this...

EDIT: Changed title from "TV show" to "scripted sitcom" because I agree with everyone saying it, reality tv shows suck. And contest tv shows.

Don't think so but it makes our answers before you changed it look kind of silly? Though I still stand by my answer.

I'll choose HIMYM because I think it's rated higher than BBT and Two and a Half Men these days.

I have not seen much of the other sitcoms listed... I like sitcoms too but usually watch the older ones. 30 rock just pisses me off mainly because the cast... Alec Baldwin is cool despite some of his behavior I do not agree with... I guess I should say cast member. Tracy Morgan joking about stabbing his son to death if he was homosexual was not cool... I am not a homosexual but that pissed me off. Its like how Mel Gibson ruined Brave Heart for me. The Office enrages me because Steve Carrell I have seen funny clips though of the show. I just want to punch Steve Carrell in the face even though I would not probably. Mainly because Steve Carrell reminds me of someone who picked on me.

Neither of those reasons has anything to do with the quality of those shows. Morgan made a joke he shouldn't have and people got butthurt. Okay whatever. I'm more interested in your second point anyway. How in a million years is anyone at any time ever bullied by a guy like Steve Carrell? There is nothing intimidating about him or the characters he plays in any way whatsoever.

That was not the first time Tracy Morgan went on anti homosexual rants/jokes. He got in trouble for slurs before on the set. He had Steve Carrel like voice... I made the connection when I was teased of how I would be a 40 year old virgin... It pisses me off so much because I can not watch Anchorman or other movies without thinking about wanting to hit Steve Carrell. I swear sometimes the image of Steve Carrell just pops up in my mind... I hope when I have sex it does not happen because it could lead to disappointment. Why I am worried of it happening is because when you tell yourself not to do something enough you will sometimes... Anyways I am not saying the Office is bad as obviously it is not... I find it overrated because it is not my cup of tea.

I totally agree. If you ever watch the Youtube vids of those shows without a laugh track, it is cringe worthy.

2 and a half men, TBBT, Mike and Molly, and anything is Chuck Lorre is related to.

That's the main reason I don't like it. I can't stand Danny McBride in anything other than small supporting roles.

Challenge accepted. I don't think it's overrated because everyone hates on it. I thought it was a probably a really stupid show before I watched it. Then I actually watched it. It is a really stupid show - but that's what it is making fun of. I think it's pretty funny. edit - it's also not a sitcom.

HIMYM - AWFUL!

Big Bang Theory - tries too hard to be a clever comedy, so resorts to weak comedy.

It had a good first season I thought, but it takes quite the nosedive afterwards. Anywho, I pick Friends.
