Agree? Disagree?

Last night's episode had us cracking up.

"Be sure to take a nap at work."
"I always do."

I still reserve the "funniest show on TV" title for New Adventures of Old Christine. Modern Family has definitely grown on me, but I do find some others to be funnier such as The Middle, Big Bang Theory and Better Off Ted.

Modern Family is my favorite show. The Fizbo episode was brilliant, as was the pilot. An ensemble show in the truest sense of the word.

I think the funniest show on TV is still 30 ROCK but MODERN FAMILY comes in a very close second.

For me, it's a tie between Modern Family and The Big Bang Theory. Both are hilarious.

Loved that. And his delivery was hysterical!

I think it's a tie between 30 Rock and Family Guy.

I have tried to watch it. The Cameron character has become annoying to me. I tuned in last night but kept switching away until Cougar Town came on. Cougar Town was really funny last night. My favorite is Big Bang Theory.

If I were to rank the three sitcoms I love just on the basis of the quality of writing, they would be these:

1. Modern Family
2. New Adventures of Old Christine
3. 30 Rock

I love The Middle and Modern Family and I love that they are on back to back. The Middle mines gold out of the problems of a middle class, middle west traditional family and Modern Family does the same with wealthy, non-traditional West-Coasters.

I really wish they would match Modern Family up with Better Off Ted - the styles are similar and we'd get a domestic and a work comedy back to back that fit together well.

The only other show on now that makes me laugh as frequently is 30 Rock. I do love Big Bang and How I Met Your Mother, but those are due more to specific performances than overall writing or ensemble work.

I usually like Family Guy too, but the last episode actually got to the point that it was just offensive - it wasn't funny, just offensive. I don't remember what it was about, but it was the one with Goofy in hell....

30 Rock is hilarious and has incredible writing, but I sort of feel like the show has been running on a treadmill for a while.

I forgot about "In the Middle". That show is funny also. I try to catch it when I can.

uncageg, really? I love Cameron! I just caught up on the episode where they were "Ferberizing" Lily. He was hysterical.

I just caught the Fizbo episode that aired last week and thought it was hysterical! Was that a new episode or a re-run?

30 Rock is the funniest show on TV, IMO.

"Be sure to take a nap at work."
"I always do."

that sounds so not funny, to be honest.

I love Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Mitchell and Julie Bowen as Claire. I love their brother-sister relationship.
