The most sharply written of those are 30 Rock and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

But I have a weakness for Modern Family's warmth and Wilfred's quirkiness.

Modern Family.

I also have much love for Big Bang Theory, 30 Rock, Community, Parks and Rec, Louie, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and The Middle.

Lost interest in How I Met Your Mother and The Office years ago.

Two and a Half Men I find staggeringly unfunny and can't believe it shares a creator with BBT.

Never seen the others.

Fraxon fails at this thread.

Anyways I'm between Parks & Rec and Community at the moment. 30 Rock is also a contender. I might have to wait until Community returns sans Harmon to make a final judgment.

If I haven't changed my vote to Arrested Development in April, then the world has failed.

I really like The League on FX about a bunch of crazy friends in a fantasy football league.

I like The League, also, but it isn't my favorite.
That would be Community.

How I Met Your Mother. I watch every episode without fail.

Wilfred is the next closest one. Usually I let it build up in my DVR queue because I don't have anany urge to watch it. But after I watch one episode I'll roll through all the rest I built up.

At the end of their first season, I would have said modern Family but they lost me during the second when nearly everyone went over the top and became annoying except for Phil and Jay.

BBT has pretty much kept strong across the board so far with only minor blips so I voted for that.

Had the Office ended when Michael left, I would have voted for that but they stunk it up with bringing it back for an extra season.

It's Always Sunny was another contender but they've been losing steam for a few years now.

Yeah, I think that the last couple of seasons have been weak overall, but last season's finale with the gang going back to their class reunion was so well done and funny that it deserves to be seen by more people.
