Fox and ABC Tuesday nights are pretty good.

If you like Happy Endings, give New Girl a try. The characters are less annoying (Happy Endings characters are written to be annoying, it's not an insult to the show).

If you liked My Name is Earl, try Raising Hope. Same creators, similar group of lovable, white trash dysfunctionals.

The most out there one would be Don't Trust the B in Apt 23. Don't judge it by its name. It's a decent show that is still finding its legs.

Ban and Kate is not bad. Not really edgy in any way, but well written and has some potential.

The Mindy Project is uneven, alternating between sappy unwatchability to really effing funny. Potential is there as well.

Community starts back up in February for what could be its last 13 episodes.

All of the shows I mentioned are better than The New Normal. I thought Go On (Matthew Perry) was okay, but Tuesdays got to be too crowded for me to continue watching it.

You really need to add Parks and Rec to your line up.

this is a point of contention with me and the mrs. we watched the first season and i wanted to keep watching and she didn't but i didn't continue on my own. if this board has taught me anything it's that JGL is a god. if it's taught me anything else, it's that Arrested development is the best comedy ever (i do love it). but if there's a 3rd thing it's that i need to just pick up parks and rec again.

saw a 5 min clip once and was actually rolling. i wonder what it's chances are of not getting cancelled?

saw a snippet of this too and didn't like. once again, i didn't see enough to judge.

i love community, it's probably my favorite comedy on air (you probably can't see my avi) but didn't list it b/c it's been on hiatus for so long.

go on just didn't hold my attention. i hear my wife lol'ing from the new normal a couple of times an episode but she also worships glee so you know...frame of reference.


thanks for the info. i'll set the dvr to record some of these. i also have shows i need to catch up multiple seasons on like the league, always sunny, and i think i'm a season behind on archer.
