When I ask others (and myself) what the best modern TV comedies are, the same answers tend to crop up. Personally, I like to namedrop Arrested Development, Stella, Home Movies, Look Around You, and possibly a couple others.
The conversation about the best comedies still on TV, however, is totally different. I've only recently discovered that, besides The Office and Community), there are some good-ass comedies on TV today. Modern Family is fantastic, and I'm possibly the cusp of finally diving all the way into 30 Rock.
Basically, what I'm asking is this: what are some great comedies currently on the air that I should be watching? Discovering Modern Family was awesome, but there's got to be more out there! It would be refreshing to watch a funny TV show for once without having to mope about its tragic, premature cancellation.
Best (non-cancelled) television comedies?
Always Sunny is really funny.
Get it, damn i'm good.LOL

"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is amazing. I rarely watch anything on TV, but that's one of the few shows I keep up with. "
Fuck yeah, brofist, bro.
Also, Futurama, harvey birdman, Space C2C, Flight of the concords.
but of course now im just listing my favorite shows

IT Crowd is indeed hilarious, Community however probably had one of the most hilarious episodes I've ever watched in any TV show.
I don't think there are any good comedy shows that haven't been cancelled yet. Oh wait, Curb Your Enthusiasm...and probably some others, keep in mind I don't have any premium channels, and I understand there are potentially some other really funny shows on HBO, etc.
I haven't watched Archer, I've heard good things but know nothing about it really except that Jon Benjamin is the voice of the main character...so that alone warrants a viewing, just haven't got around to it yet.
Always Sunny is where it's at. Funniest goddamn show ever. I also really like Rules of Engagement. Patrick Warburton and David Spade make that show with their great line delivery.
30 Rock and Weeds. Though both aren't your typical ones.
My all time favorites would be probably The Drew Carey Show (although damn, would I shorten that show by 3 seasons), MASH, Seinfeld and Everybody Hates Chris, though all four are finished (cancellation is a bad word in those, I think).
The Office,Parks and Rec, 30 Rock, Family Guy.
Those are the only comedies i like other than a few that have been cancelled
