The mother of the obnoxious girl probably deserves some kind of awards nomination, but then there is a surprising number of quality comedies lately.

I find Suburgatory to be in the "witty funny" category. It's not exactly laugh out loud funny like The Office or Modern Family but it works. I saw the first couple of episodes of the 1st season and was planning on watching it (since Modern Family showed right after). But you know, with Kings games and all sometimes you miss them. I was very disappointed to find out that Hulu didn't have episodes of Subugatory. Unreal huh? So I stopped watching and would only occasionally tune in if I remembered to watch.

Tonight's episode wasn't bad. I'm glad it's right after Modern Family now. If their ratings held up well before Modern Family, it would definitely do better now that it's on after.

Watched Chicago Fire again tonight. I'm really enjoying it. The pacing was better and I'm getting more of a Third Watch feel to it.

From Zap2It:

‘Animal Practice’ Canceled by NBC, Replaced by ‘Whitney’ - Ratings | TVbytheNumbers

I'm surprised it took this long... They're going to use Whitney as a replacement... I don't know how the hell that show got a 2nd season. What the **** is NBC doing with Community? Are they waiting until Up All Night gets canceled so they can put Community back on Thursday?

Just watched the premiere of Suburgatory and I'm still a big fan of this show's overall tone and dry humor throughout. It doesn't hurt that I think Jane Levy is cute as a button (I'm smitten) and perfect as the lead (not to mention the supporting cast is superb).

Is Up All Night drawing poor numbers? I watched the very first episode when it came on and it was so boring I did not watch another (I almost always give a new show two episodes), but I believe critics love it.

I figure the longer NBC holds Community, the better its chances are for making it to another season. We just need more NBC sitcoms to fail so the network is even shorter on comedies (remember, 30 Rock and The Office are ending) than it already is. Of course, if NBC holds it too long, then there will only be that half season (but it could still come back next season even then).

If you thought Whitney was bad, I can only hope you never had to see Are You There Chelsea, which may have been the worst comedy I have ever witnessed. It was so awful it would not have made the ABC According To Jim / Yes Dear / Still Standing lineup.

Just watched the croquet episode of Suburgatory from last season. Tessa is way too attractive to be that much of an outsider. I'd like to say that the show needs more Wash, but his character is really not that great.
