Has there been a funnier TV comedy in the last 10 years?

Nervous Wreck

In short, no.

Modern Family does come close IMO. Sitcoms these days are absolutely terrible but Modern Family is brilliant.

Klingon Hamlet

It's the funniest, smartest comedy in decades. The in-jokes and recurring motifs are genius without being pretentious, and there's not one single weak link in the casting.

Peyton Manning

The best comedy bar none imo.

Just so damn clever, which was it's downfall considering the country it aired in. The average American was too stupid to cop on to the bits of blue paint randomly spotted about the house, or the fact there was always a note on the refrigerator. They'd rather watch Homer Simpson say D'oh again.

Iv just restarted watching all the DVDs from the beginning and its still amazing.

My favourite sitcom of all time. Hopefully there'll be a movie, though it's been rumoured for years.

In no order but the three best of past 10 years, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Peep Show and Arrested Development.

I've never been able to get into Peep Show, I do like it but I watch it on 4oD in bursts. It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia is brilliant. I'd add HIMYM to the list though as it's the closest to AD as we have at the moment, it has recurring in jokes at least.

Sorry I've watched all of HIMYM and it's nowhere near the same league as Arrested Development.

I didn't say it was, I said it's the closest we have right now

Always Sunny In Philadelphia would run it close.

rossc007

Its always Sunny in Philadelphia would run second, along with Father Ted, but its still not close

bamboozle

arrested development is in a league of its own, honourable mention to the inbetweeners

It really is the smartest sitcom of them all.

Just remembered there the episode George SR was living in the attic and keeping hitting his head,couple of episodes late he hits his head again but has a towel wrapped around it and pulls a smug face to michael

I think thats it,been a while since I seen them

Curb Your Enthusiasm has been consistently great for 10 years

Scrolled down through the thread amazed Curb had not been mentioned. Thank you! Far and away the greatest comedy of my generation.

Arrested Development is excellent too though in its own right.

COME ON!!

Greatest show ever!!

Dman001

Still watching this on FX at the moment, and it really is brilliant due to the terrific cast and writing. It's hard to believe it got cancelled, or even took this long for a station to get the re-run rights.

komodosp

Hopefully there'll be a movie

NOOOO!!!!

It was probably one of the best sit-coms ever, but let it go... they've been away too long... Re-uniting the cast is a bad idea, no good can come of it I tells ya!

Dman001

I love the way Michael treats George Michaels Girlfriend, Ann. Hilarious! Does AD get any sort of proper ending?

PrettyButch

Has anyone seen any of Running Wilde?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_Wilde

Already cancelled :mad: I'm beginning to hate Fox.
But brilliant nonetheless.. I got my hands on every episode, and like an idiot, watched them all already..
Will watch them again, but wished i had taken my time..

I have heard Rumours that Either HBO or Showtime are buying the rights for the next few seasons, but can't find any info on that right now.

As for the Arrested Development Movie...
It's happening.. :D:D

I have read more information on it somewhere, but here is a good start. LINK

I just blue myself....

nkay1985

Delighted if that's true. I knew the movie was on the way but hadn't heard anything about the series. Superb show.

Smarmy

Just finished watching all 3 seasons back to back. I've heard a lot about this show and I loved every second of it, a few times I almost choked on something I was eating while watching this. It is so clever and layered, a lot of the dialogue has double meanings and there is so much that can be easily missed on first viewing.

For example this video is 15 seconds long and has 3 jokes in it.

Can't wait for the movie and new series, although it probably won't happen for at least 18 months
