I just finished watching all the episodes of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia from season 1, episode 1 up to the "The Gang Dances Their Asses Off" episode in season 3.

I also just finished Burn Notice from Season 1 Episode 1 up to season 2 episode 7.

Love both shows and IASIP was fucking hilarious. Anything else that good/funny on in the comedy genre?

I'll take any genre but I'd prefer comedy atm.

Arrested Development. Watch it all, in order. It's only 3 seasons, but it's some of the funniest shit you'll ever watch. A lot of it has jokes from previous episodes, so watch in order.

Good comedy is pretty hard to find.

Scrubs is awesome, but i'm pretty sure you've seen that
The Loop (Season 1, it was cancelled after the atrocity that was Season 2) wasn't bad.

I think that's it for comedy though :(

As for other genres

Dexter is a solid show.
Rome is great if you never saw that.
The Shield is good for the most part but has a few lulls.
Nip/Tuck is excellent, people tend to have mixed feelings about this show though, love/hate relationship. Not for the faint of heart.
Band of Brothers was a great mini-series.
Supernatural is my current favorite show, give that a chance if you haven't seen it.

I want to mention Entourage as well, but i'm not really sure i'd classify it as a comedy.

Anyway, i'm sure you've seen all those :( just have to wait and hope for something good/renewal of old shows. only a few weeks till most everything is back on.

I'm finishing up The Wire - excellent show... finished the sopranos.. Another vote for Weeds, Arrested Development, & Rome

i just started watching Satisfaction - Showtime series about an Australian high-end brothel - meh as far as the story line so far, but nice eye candy.

edit: oh, also Fear Itself is a great horror show on NBC.

Dexter... but only if you have control of your inner demon. And speaking of Showtime, definitely Weeds. Serial killer + MILF, how can you go wrong?

Then skip the rest. If you're not laughing your ass off by this point you obviously don't get it and you never will.

Exactly. Go watch Everybody loves Ramond or something.

Old school: The Odd Couple. Perhaps the best casting of two extremely talented men. Amazing to watch even after 30-35 years.Funny as hell too.

Am I the only fan of Saving Grace here? The 2nd season was at least as good as the first.
