'Modern' and 'Cougar' live up to expectations

Modern Family is one of the best shows on TV period. Watch it...

I would have disagree with Pierce.

Modern Family and Cougar Town are okay but not very realistic.

The show that procedes them The Middle is much better and much more funny.

These two shows represent the worst that the modern entertainment industry has to offer. While the majority of the public used to be outraged by the constant display of vulgarity, laziness, and disrespect for authority that these two shows glorify, too many members of the modern public have become so apathetic that they no longer recognize this filth for what it is. These two shows are perfect examples of what modern Hollywood has become: a relentless machine that is bent on destroying the traditional morals that made this Country great. If these shows are representative of modern society, there is no question why it is such a mess.

I watched it twice and thought it was stupid and insulting and totally unfunny.

Modern Family is the best sitcom I have seen in ten years or more. I have watched every episode on Hulu and eagerly await new episodes. Thank you so much for the recommendation, Pierce. The rest of you...get a sense of humor.

Modern Family and Community are the two best show this season.

Jeff: "You know what makes humans different from other animals?"
Troy: "Feet!"
Pierce: "No, bears have feet."
Jeff: *ignores them* "We're the only species on Earth that observes Shark Week. Sharks don't even observe Shark Week, but we do...

"Casablanca"

Modern Family is the best show on right now! Good for those of us who like it. Bad for those of you who don't have a sense of humor.

Community Fan | 4:19 p.m. Oct. 21, 2009

NBC better renew Community! That show is one of the best sitcoms they've managed to produce in the last few years besides The Office and My Name Is Earl. Community DEFINITELY deserves to stick around for season 2!
