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.

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.

I don't watch much TV anymore, but I love The Big Bang Theory.

I second "Sunny" and I enjoy the occasional episode of "Psyche."

This. It's pretty respectful of geek culture, even though occasionally you still see them playing video games like morons.

I'm utterly ashamed that I didn't mention Always Sunny myself. Possibly my current favorite show on TV. "I will smash your face int...into a jelly!"

Your avatar reminds me that as of last Sunday, Awesome Show is another one that slides firmly into the category of "excellent TV shows that are no longer on the air". :( At least the series finale was fantastic.

A couple weeks ago I started watching 'Party Down' (into it's 2nd season) and I'm really enjoying it. Highly recommended.

IT Crowd is indeed hilarious, Community however probably had one of the most hilarious episodes I've ever watched in any TV show.

The IT Crowd and 30 Rock are both hilarious shows, worth checking out. I really like Chuck too, though it's not really in the same style, more dramedy focused.

Always Sunny is good, Futurama returns next month and Archer will be back in 2011 with 13 more episodes.  Honestly, I don't watch a lot of "new" TV and except for The Simpsons, practically nothing on network television.

Corner Gas, a Canadian comedy that has recently ended, was hilarious.

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.

Weeds. 
 
But it'd be wrong to lump that in one genre.

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).

I enjoy The Office; it's an acquired taste, though. I also enjoy The Simpsons, but mainly the older episodes. I can't wait for Futurama to return!

Mostly animated stuff for me. The Venture Bros., It's Always Sunny, South Park, and I'll admit I like American Dad from time to time. Otherwise, Community seemed pretty good, and I've been meaning to check it out.

Indeed, when Tech TV started airing that show a few years ago I honestly hated it at first. After a few episodes the cast grew on me and I fell in love with the show. Season four can't come soon enough.
