What are the best sitcoms on now?
My picks are:

Everybody loves Raymond. I will forgive the show for Patricia Heaton being a Republican

Scrubs.

Two and a half Men.

1. Simpsons, King of the Hill and South Park.
Live people suck.

And everbody does not love Raymond.

2. I agree with Simpsons and King of the Hill
Never been a fan of South Park, and I don't have cable now anyway.

Nearly all sitcoms suck.

25. Love King of the Hill
"I sell Propane and Propane Accessories."

Someone should start a 'favorite episode' thread.

4. Not much of a sitcom watcher....
but I do LOVE "George Lopez". It's a little cheesey, but very funny and bit crass at times.

7. Still Standing
I agree, by far the best show on TV. There are hardly any shows that make me laugh. This is the one.

10. 'Arrested Developement'
By far the best sit-com on network TV...and The Simpsons.

I was pleasantly surprised to see it get renewed for another season.

16. Simpsons, Scrubs, Arrested Development
Even if _Scrubs_ is in shark-jumping territory if it doesn't ditch the now-obnoxious "romance," it still gave us "My Screwup" (the Brendan Frazer episode).

_Arrested Development_ is so good that everyone can now just stop saying, "It's an acquired taste." No, it's not, and Opie is the narrator to boot.

_The Simpsons_ is the best sitcom in tv history.

18. Raymond.....surprisingly funny.
I had watched a few espisodes and thought it was okay but roommate isa hardcore fan.

After watching many more episodes I think this may be the best cast since Seinfeld. Peter Boyle cracks me up every single episode.

22. Does "Reno 911" count?
If so, then that's my answer. "South Park" would be my second choice.
