I'm still trying to figure out why people (for the most part) don't watch NBC comedies. Is it the lack of a laugh track? Do people need to be told when something is funny?

30 Rock, Parks & Rec, and Community are all brilliant. WTF is wrong with people?

I agree. I've never watched that broke waitress show but I've never even once came close to cracking a smile in their promo's. How do shows like that outperform great shows like Community?

They're too smart. I've literally had people tell me that when I ask. They prefer stuff like 2 Broke Girls because you can turn your brain off, and watching something like Community makes them either feel dumb, or like they're watching something that only snooty hipster people watch, and they don't see themselves like that.

(Seriously, I've been told this...)

Because people are stupid.

I used to watch Two Broke Girls simply for Kat Denning (or whatever he name is)

Wow, nice foreshadowing. I had no idea.

Crazy making!!

I should totally start a business where you can spend Christmas in the Hamptons alone, drinking scotch and throwing firecrackers at Billy Joel's dog. Guess I missed the boat on Tan Penis Island.

You ever read the paper a professor wrote arguing against the Westphall Universe? I get a kick out of that kind of stuff.

I thought this was a pretty damn good season for 30 Rock. Some people like seeing their TV shows go out with a bang. It makes sense, but for me it just makes me more sad. I regret it less when they go out having used up their spotlight, ie X-Files. Although I was ok with it then expecting real movies to follow. Anyway....

As for the reason these shows fail, I don't know. As some have mentioned its just too smart for some. Some shows, like my favorite in this genre Arrested Development, also suffered from the issue of being a running story line. It's hard to follow that show by just jumping in. That was the ultimate value of shows like Seinfeld. With shows built like 30 Rock, so much of the humor is built on knowing the character. I also think its about not having the patience to follow it closely enough. Some people may have the patience in real life but not in following shows. I see it with people in my family. People I would consider smart people but that just wouldn't care for a show like 30 Rock or A Dev.

Because of Kat Dennings's tits. But the Big Bang Theory is quite possibly the dumbest show of its kind EVER. Anyone who likes it is completely mental.

I love Big Bang Theory.
