I make a point to watch Community every week, no matter what. Modern Family is what i watch only if i’m done with with my homework. Simply because community is the better (yet more underrated) show. the songs that were written about the breakups WEREN”T supposed to be imaginative. cmon, they were written by an idiot hippy, and the show was obviously poking more fun at him in this regard. and the episodes have stuff twice as funny as this on a regular basis. Additionally, no one aspires to the “office mold” in this show, because of the shows fast pace and dialogue. and i give props to this show for making a different and original hero, the one who “knows too much.”

Modern Family is Crap. Putting two cliche gays in it was about the last straw. So here’s ABC promoting it as if its the second coming. I’m only writing about network sitcoms because I stumbled on one so good I couldn’t believe its real. Its called Middle and its right before Modern Family at 8:30 pm Eastern, 7:30 central. Middle is a simply written story about a dysfunctional family, whose narrator mother always finds a way to look at the bright side of failure on every side. The kids are stumblebums, just like their parents. Dad doesn’t appear to have a job, but gets involved in things like neighborhood self-propelled lawnmower races in his very amply spare time. He’s an idiot but his wife likes to put a nice face on it. The kids have doubts about their parents and Mom and Dad don’t think their 3 kids were the best ever issued either. Its just one little comic situation after another. I know this kind of nuts and bolts comedy so well I could help write it. When I first blundered onto it I thought its lines were so good, I assumed it was a commercial. But then it went on and on. And on. I now program my VCR to record it every week. I looked at Modern Family, the one ABC is hyping all the time. Its a crushing bore filled with cliches. Just not funny. I don’t have cable but the Wall Street Journal says TBN has a Ray Romano sitcom that’s actually funny. I’d like to see it but don’t have cable, though I used to own the local cable company. I haven’t found anything worth watching on off air TV since the Rockford Files went off in the seventies. I mostly haven’t bothered to look at anything but the news off-air for over 30 years. Middle is a breath of fresh air. I’ll get a look at Community next week.

Well, I don`t watch Modern Family… so I can`t say wich show is better. But what I can say is: when I heard about the new shows I thought Community was more interesting than Modern Family. That`s why I chose to watch only Community.
And I love Community. I think it is the funniest show on TV now.
