What are some good half hour tv shows?

Genre doesn't matter too much although I think I'd prefer comedy or action. Wouldn't mind a British comedy show. Can be old or new.


I've watched a lot of popular shows though so this might be tough.

one i recommend NOT to watch is Weeds. was good first 3 or so seasons, then went downhill from there and season 7 started this past week and it's fucking terrible. didnt think it could be worse than season 6 but it's looking to top it, after just 1 episode.

Always Sunny in Philadelphia
South Park
Family Guy
Entourage

All great 30 minute shows. the writing in Always Sunny is brilliant, show is probably the funniest show I've ever seen.

EDIT:

would also add Forensic Files and Hardcore Pawn, and Operation Repo is so stupid but I always find myself watching it.

TruTV owns.

Have you watched the larry sanders show? British cop drama luther is very good. There are a bunch of british comedy series on netflix that I see have good reviews but I can't vouch for them

The office (I can always watch any ep of the office while eating lunch or dinner. Perfect amount of time for that).

Modern Family

Think most of the action shows and drama are one hour. 1/2 hr only leaves you sitcoms.
