The Shows Mostly Formerly Affiliated with NBC's Thursday Night Comedy Block Thread **SPOILERS**

[Josh]

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuulllshit.

Man, with Community premiering next year, I wonder how far it'll drop in the EWB TV Show list for 2013 after its worst season ever. It was like Top 2 / 3 this year, right?

[GoGo Yubari]

It was a very close second last year. I was thinking about it the other day and my current guess is like fifth, but it could do worse.

[TKz]

Breaking Bad > Parks and Rec > Game of Thrones are probably my guesses. I still think there were parts of four that were way superior to three and how up it's own ass it was.

[Benjamin]

Breaking Bad, Game Of Thrones, Mad Men, Parks & Rec would all probaby be above it. Possibly with this season of The Office got a lot of people to love it again, right? Or was it just the finale? I also think Arrow might beat it, so possibly Top 6?

[TKz]

Has Mad Men really retained that much love? I've never followed it myself, but I've not noticed anywhere near as much discussion about it recently.

[livid]

Part of that is because it ended a couple months ago. I'm not sure you're not right, though because it seems to mostly be me, Josh (I think) and GoGo that talk about it. I'm sure there are others that enjoy it but I doubt it'll be huge.

Sons of Anarchy is still fairly popular so that's going to be high (unfortunately). Arrow actually doesn't get that much love so I doubt it'll be very high.

[Jimmy]

I still haven't seen the latest season of Mad Men cos I didn't have much internet nor the TV channel when it was airing. Will definitely make sure to catch it soon. Yeah Community will have definitely dropped a lot with me.

[Pizza]

Arrested Development is eligible, I see that cracking the top 10 this year. Adventure Time could do pretty well too.

I still think there were parts of four that were way superior to three and how up it's own ass it was.

Actually, going back to this, I don't really get this. It's always been up it's own ass and Season 3 was really no different than 2 in that they tried different structures and homages. Some worked, some didn't but I don't really understand the issues people have with Season 3 other than some of the ideas didn't land the way they wanted them to.

Mad Men will most likely make the top ten because the people who like it usually put it in their top three. It doesn't have the wide appeal needed to crack the top five.

I would guess at the top five being:

1. Breaking Bad

2. Game of Thrones

3. The Walking Dead

4. Parks and Rec

5. Community or Arrested Development

There are a couple open spots in the top ten this year I think because Louie didn't air a new season and Dexter alienated its entire viewerbase. AD will take one of them and I'm interested to see what show will take the other.

It's probably more a problem with the fanbase that's translated in my head as the show being pretentious, to be honest. I did find that season three got a bit lost in itself, though. Season four didn't have that problem, because it was someone else writing it. It felt a lot more accessible at times.

Let's just say, if you found anything good about season four. Don't go fucking near the subreddit for Community.

[livid]

Oh, the general internet fanbase for Community is insufferable. Then again, it's the internet so duh.

[TKz]

Yeah, I should've known better.

It's like the cult of Dan Harmon over there, though. And man, that's the last guy I'd want to have a religious following.

[livid]

Oh, if we're doing the Scumbag Showrunner I'd Least Like to Have a Cult Following game then my answer would obviously be Kurt Sutter. Harmon's issue is that he doesn't know that he might be crossing a line when making jokes. Sutter's just a straight up dick of a hack who thinks he's awesome because people watch the thing he writes.

Yeah, Sutter is probably worse. At least Harmon kind of has a reason to be up his own ass. Sutter hasn't for a good few years now.

[Benjamin]

Who's Kurt Sutter?

[livid]

Creator of Sons of Anarchy

Let's just say, if you found anything good about season four. Don't go fucking near the subreddit for Community.

Unless it was Brie Larson's appearance, because that's the only thing they can agree they liked.

Also Harmon is better because at least his bullshit is sometimes funny and his apologies are usually good.

I think it's more the Megan Ganz thing where he seemed to be really pissed because she didn't take too kindly to him shitting all over her work, that really bugged me.
