Spring Television for the most part is coming to a close. Most of the shows have hit their finales, save for a couple of the heavy dramas. We’ve recently been bombarded with news about shows coming back, being cancelled, and some new ones. I personally haven’t sampled many of the new clips that preview the fall shows, but I’m sure some are bound to be promising. I’ve divided this awards ceremony by two pages: one for comedies and the other for dramas. There’s a lot of bias here and there and my opinion is erratic, but I like to think there is some truth to my choices. And I may or may not of come up with custom titles simply so I could put all of the shows I watched [and didn’t watch] this wonderful spring season.
Funniest Comedy – Happy Endings (ABC)
With wicked fast jokes, hilariously fleshed out characters, and delightful shenanigans, the Friends-esque tv show has definitely come into it’s own. If you’re into pop culture jokes said done in perfect execution by hilarious people, then this is the show for you. The characters here are absolutely hysterical. In particular, Brad and Jane just might be the freshest and most likable couple around. Otherwise, the other characters hold their own for the most part with Penny Hartz leading the remaining 4. Overall I love that this show was given another chance, as it was almost cancelled once with Damon Wayans Jr. signing up for Coach in New Girl [can we get a cameo please!!].
Most Heart – Parks and Recreation (NBC)
Parks and Recreation is almost the perfect show. I wonderfully combines heart and comedy with its quirky characters and engaging plot lines. This season was no different. The Ben Wyatt/Leslie Knope affair was settled, her rocky campaign slowly picked up pace, and the inclusion of the irreplaceable Paul Rudd as her primary opponent was absolutely genius. With touching motivational speeches and actual character dilemmas, we found out this season that Leslie Knope might be one of the most genuine and lovable characters on TV today. Also, season 3 might have been the year of the Swanson, but I’m pretty sure season 4 belongs to Andy Dwyer.
Best Animated – Archer (FX)
I had only discovered the magic of Archer earlier this year. There’s not a lot of room in this category: possibly Family Guy or South Park. Family Guy uses it’s meta to be funny and while South Park is amazing cultural commentary, Archer pulls off comedy with it’s Arrested Development-esque sense of humor. After catching up 2 seasons, I prepped myself for season 3. It truly is one of the best comedies out there and I even wrote an article about it here outlining why it’s so great.
Pleasant Surprise – New Girl (Fox)
Zooey Deschanel is indeed adorable. But to base an entire show around a couple of guys trying to make all that go away could get stale after a while. And that’s kinda what happened. At first, it felt like all Nick did was whine and Winston had no real place in the show. And surely Cece was just a pretty face. Schmidt was the only salvageable supporting character. But soon enough, the writers seemingly got it together and wrote the supporting characters to have their own likable quirks. And with cameos like Justin Long and Liz Caplan, it’s been a pretty good show since then.
The Unfortunately Killed – Community (NBC)
Read the title again: The Unfortunately Killed. With the recent blow up of NBC making the decision to kill off the show’s father and creator Dan Harmon and then placing it on the day TV shows go to die [Firefly, Fringe, Chuck, Ugly Betty, the list goes on and on], they’ve effectively killed the little life Community had. Dan Harmon is largely responsible for why we love Community so much and a new showrunner will likely try to bring Community to the mainstream, but the thing is, Community really isn’t for the mainstream and that target demographic doesn’t even watch TV on Fridays. Now I wish I’m proven wrong, and I’ll be there to continue giving it free advertising and Hulu views, but it’s hard to deny the facts. Season 3 was a great run with it’s jokes and continuous affinity for pop culture jokes, and the season finale was a great way to end the series. In all honesty, if season 4 goes as horribly as I kinda wish the series ended with the heartfelt and wholly wrap up then the downhill crash I suspect it to be.
The Unfortunately Alive – The Office (NBC)
Ugh, I actually tripped on a couple of episodes of the Office this year and it has seriously lost its way. It seems the writers heavily wanted Andy to be the new Michael Scott, so they basically took the delivery Steve Carrell mastered for 7 years and forced it on the semi-impressive Ed Helms. If they are gonna continue milking this cow, they need to axe Andy among some many things. Warming Glow actually came up with this amazing list of ways to revitalize the show. It even predicted some of the events of the finale. Now all we need is to axe Andy, bring back Jane and Timothy Olyphant, and we’ll be all set.
Considermeter Running High – Don’t Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23 (ABC)
I’ve only seen 2 or 3 episodes of this show, and while it didn’t completely blow my socks off, I am in absolute love with Krysten Ritter. Raven black hair and a defined sense of fashion. I never stood a chance.
Why Aren’t I Watching This? [Comedy] – Modern Family
Throw the eggs at me now. This is the only show I’d deem worth considering. I hope there aren’t any die hard CBS fans reading this, because I can’t stand Big Bang Theory, 2 and a Half Men, How I Met Your Mother, or 2 Broke Girls. It’s something about laugh tracks. This show, however, I’ve heard is genuinely funny and of course there is always the beautiful Sofia Vergara factor….I’ll keep you guys updated.
Dramas, the Best Show of 2012 So Far, and a Summer Preview on the Next Page
Modern Family is like a re-production of Arrested development, but even better! You should honestly give it a try. Have a great day!
You might be too bold to say even better…haha, I’m just kidding. Everyone has their opinion and I definitely have noticed some similarities…
I’m a fan of Modern Family. Been following it since Season 1 until now. So clever, hilarious, and realistic. Never get bored. You totally should watch it! 🙂
Great post, anyroad. 🙂
LOVE Modern Family! Make sure and catch up on it!

I’m with you on Happy Endings and Modern Family…one you left out that I don’t want to miss an episode of is, Suburgatory. My most favorite show this season though was, Once Upon a Time. Check it out, see what you think.
It was a long post but interesting. Thanks for the read. Best of regards from The Writing Corp
Reblogged this on I'm not lost, just undiscovered.
I watch modern family with my girlfriend a lot. its brilliant and very very clever 🙂
I’ll give Happy Endings a chance if you watch Modern Family! Watch it straight from season 1 where you really get to know the characters, don’t just jump in now. A lot of episodes reference older eps so it’s good to watch from the beginning.
But, by far it is my favourite half hour comedy since Friends.
I’m already halfway through season 2 of modern family, so you better catch up 🙂
I’m a modern Family fan, by the way. 🙂

You’re definitely missing out not watching Modern Family! The absence of a laugh track makes for a humour that’s quite dry at times and very biting, exactly the type that is to be found in real, day to day life for the most part! The characters are all very well formed, both adults and children, and Sofia Vergara is as funny as she is beautiful 🙂

Those other shows you hate are crap. Modern Family is freaking awesome. You should give it a chance. Congrats on freshly pressed.
I just started Modern Family this season and we love it. (My son and self) Revenge is kinda cool, too. It really is like a guilty pleasure sorta thing. Scandal’s pretty good, The Middle is classic. Gotta check them out!
Beautiful photographs and nice post thanks for sharing
What I love about Modern Family is that it’s really, really funny AND it’s safe for my kids to watch. Most “family” shows are not parent-approved in this house.
Congrats on being freshly pressed!
Great post! I can’t believe you’ve never seen “Modern Family”. It’s great. It’s good to see other people be so into “Happy Endings”. I love Penny, she’s the best. I recommend you see “Veep” on HBO, it’s amazing.
It seems like they need to tape like 200 shows of Modern family before the teenagers turn 30 (like in 3-4 years) and the kids grow out of their cute stage. I love the entire page, very cools stuff and I agree with most of the blunt critiques. I am a huge Community fan and a loyal above all reason Office fan. Keep up the great work.
Reblogged this on 8BIT.
That is awesome….

I agree with your comedy list, but, and I know this may be an unpopular opinion, but I really dislike Jane on Happy Endings. I do enjoy the show and Brad and Penny are my favorite characters, but Jane’s uptight OCD personality grates. I hope the writers do more with her but since the show is a hit, that’s doubtful. I too though hate the CBS comedies. I can’t even crack a smirk at 2 Broke Girls. Dumb dumb dumb. Laugh tracks are the worst.
that’s so odd that you watch all that other stuff and have never seen Modern Family (which had such a great season finale on wednesday) … can i ask why?
Haha, everyone I know tells me this. I honestly can’t tell you why, because I don’t know. A slide of laziness, as it’s easier to watch some different episodes a week when it comes to all those other shows compared to sitting through and plowing through entire seasons. But seeing as it’s summer soon, I’m sure I’ll catch up and let you all know how it turned out.
Community is incredibly funny, but for me the wait is now well and truly on for the upcoming new season of Arrested Development, and film of course!
Too bad that House also had it’s final episode and it joins the good episodes of Lost and Prison Break.
Great post. And yes, Modern Family is funny. Giggles are ALWAYS guarenteed with each episode. By the way… Congrats on being Freshly Pressed!!!
Modern Family is the the best comedy series in television history.
“It’s something about laugh tracks.” Period. 🙂
I love New Girl and Modern Family! Not a fan of New Girl’s finale though.
After seeing the brilliant British “Outnumbered” I just can’t take the mundane and annoying “Modern Family.” Watching gorgeous people who appear to be domestically incompetent does nothing for me. I always feel that Bowens is acting. All of them in fact. The kids get on my nerves, whereas I love the Outnumbered kids.
Modern Family. So very clever.
I love Modern Family that is one of the funniest shows on tv!
modern family is such an underrated comedy and its one of my favorites!
LOL IS THIS THE CAST FROM ARCHER!!!!!?>
Very nice comment´s?=)
I religiously watch Modern Family and it is worth…take my worth…I hope by now you must have started watching it 🙂
I’ll definitely try to download Happy Endings now that I’ve read such good things about it, if we can get a good enough connection here in Tanzania. Thanks for the great post!
now a days sex comedy is in craze
You have a really nice blog, I have a blog that reviews movies. I could really use some advice on my blog.
http://thejudgeonmovies.blogspot.com/
Excellent list! The B—- in 23 is delirious. I love it. Cougar Town is another one I love. And I applaud NBC for letting it live on this long, but will cry if they kill it WITHOUT it having a true series finale.
i hate modern family..i recognise the “agenda” and have since the first episode.secondly while some seem to find Sofia Vergara so adorable,that stupid brainless accent makes me want to choke her..remember charro???ugh!!! lucille ball’s whining as “lucy ricardo” has the same effect on me//and i agree with one of the other posters here,regarding the stereotypes being a negative(refer to my agenda comment earlier).community is great however.seems like america hs fallen in love with shows that stereotypes and penis humor.it’s a shame really.while i enjoy “the middle”,my girlfriend recently made the statement that it’s not diverse enough..i replied,”for who”??..i swear it’s true that she replied,no blacks ,gays or latino and the humor at best is PG..i just looke at her and said how full of america she is..good grief!!
** Laid out reasoning, in case it was missed previously. **
The new “Office” hasn’t declined. I gave thorough judgement earlier on why it works with Andy. We need a break from unbelievably stupid types (Homer Simpson ect). The new “Two & 1/2 Men” (disliked C Sheen anyway) no longer has Berta putting Allen down. Walden is kind to Allen, who now has a solid lady. I like Jake and Grandma but great not to waste time on extraneous roles.
I can’t miss “Modern Family” but notice lines are quick and too ‘slam-dunk’. I keep laughing but there’s less time for acting, with so many perfect jabs on-the-spot that don’t truly occur for us. It could be written less flawlessly.
If some don’t get the Trek humour of “Big Bang Theory” which fans cherish in a franchise lull, here’s what makes the show unique! It isn’t about nerds picked-on, never getting a girl. That’s cliché! The characters improve and keep their hilarious absurdities. All but Raj has a girl. The unlikely Sheldon dates in a way that suits his quirks and we just saw Howard’s wedding and space launch. Adding to a cast is iffy but Amy & Bernadette are funnier than Penny. Another key to success is there aren’t drastic lucky events out of the blue. The plots are always evolving. We’re happy seeing good guys win with delightfully absurd regularity.
“Community” had better stay on the air. It’s neat legend Chevy Chase does something like this, Joel McHale is hot, and it’s the most original, hilarious thing I’ve ever seen along with “Big Bang”. Laughing out loud is not an expression when these and the new “Office” are on at our house!

Ehhh.. Modern Family, while it still has some heart, has started to repeat plotlines: Gloria always gets offended, Phil feels belittled, Cameron and Mitch argue with Cameron getting overly dramatic, competition between Claire and Jay, something with a car accident, nice awww wrap-up. It was a good in the beginning, but it’s beginning to feel a little tired. Community, however, is where it’s at.
Great post! We have sadly seen the trip and fall of “The Office,” no? Much to my dismay. I mostly agree with you on “New Girl” but apparently like it more than you. It was sad to abandon my previously loved “Modern Family.” Too many stereotypes in roles and storylines with jokes aimed at women.
I completely agree on all counts!!
90% of why I watch Modern Family is Sofia Vergara.
I tune in TV for sports & news. Hardly get time for anything else, your list is interesting & tempting to try & watch few of them at least once!
I can’t stand CBS comedies too, but au contraire I’m a huge The Big Bang Theory fan! Thank you for sharing,
Artphalt (http://artphalt.wordpress.com)
The only addition I would make to your shows is The Middle. Love it!
Modern Family gets a big tick in our household, New Girl shows a lot of promise once it settles in a bit, I didn’t mind the US&A version of The Office but being Poms (living in Australia) it can never ever be the same without Ricky…..I’m quite possibly the only person on the planet that hasn’t seen Dexter yet….don’t hate me for it!
I love the look and design of your blog – we get quite a few programs from the American schedule here…..but we’re usually a few seasons behind (or watching repeats of NCIS for the 100th time) so this is a great blog to check out what’s new and what to look out for 🙂
Great!
Modern Family is probably one of the best shows I’ve ever seen in a while. I’ve never really encountered a tv show centered around a family to be really funny , heart-warming and so engaging. I wish I never watched an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond. It just didn’t cut it.
Definitely a great show and they deserve all those awards.
Love Modern Family!!
great post and congrats on being freshly pressed 🙂

modern family, happy endings and Whitney are my jam! I love those shows
Una serie fantástica!!!
i love the animated archer
You should definitely gibe Modern Family a try.

Seems very nice..
American Tv series is always my part of life !I teach me English and how to live a life! I love them! spring tv is coming!
This is really a good work. I appreciate your efforts behind that. Modern family is great. Thanks for sharing.

modern family has been awesome for a long time.
Thanks for the update on the shows. being out of the country really takes me out of the loop on what’s good tv in the States.
I love sci fi series but sometimes a complicated stories make your brain stucks. That’s the reason I chose Modern family, to entertain me! 🙂 Maybe I don’t laugh like crazy when watching Modern Family, but I can learn something from those family. They look like a real family 🙂 I love it
Modern family is great
I **love** “Community” and can’t watch 2 seconds of “The Big Bang Theory” without laughing off my rocker. If y’all don’t find it genuis… guess you don’t get any of the Trek or sci-fi references! For those who do, it’s a gem to find current Trek funnies, we miss them. I adore “Modern Family” and enjoy “Two & 1/2 Men” without Charlie Sheen.
I like the new “The Office”. Plots have to change. Steve is talented but there’s an excess of “too dumb to be real” types. Andy is already on-staff so we aren’t mucking up familiarity. He is a quirky and approachable more-friend-than-boss like Michael. I found Jan and Rashida Jones’ characters annoying. Former face David Wallace is a great idea. Wouldn’t object if Steve returns for a wedding with Holly. 🙂 http://cmriedel.wordpress.com/2011/02/10/cmriedel-intro/
I personally LOVE Modern Family.
This is a good list – I think Happy Endings and Parks and Rec are among the best shows on television and Happy Endings, especially, doesn’t get nearly enough love, even online (where it is, I’ll admit, fairly well loved but, still – not enough)
I just barely disagree with The Office commentary – I think it deserves one more season to try and turn things around. It’s not exactly up to it’s former glories but perhaps it can rekindle some of it and if not, it deserves the chance to wrap up given it’s former level of quality. Now, if it goes one more season being largely uninspired, with no end in sight? I’d agree.
I linked the interesting article where there were ways it could improve the Office and if they took some steps in that direction [it already kinda has], then I would likely refollow it. Bringing back Melora Hardin’s Jan as a boss and writing out unnecessaries and bringing back others like Timothy Olyphants Danny would greatly improve it. By all means it’s not a horrible show considering it’s still better than 90% of what’s on TV, but it pains me that it continues to go into a direction that doesn’t do it’s legacy justice.
And I too agree that Happy Endings is greatly underappreciated. I recently replied on another comment how it almost got underrated, but it’s far funnier than it is underrated. And that’s really funny considering how underrated it is. Thanks for the opinion.
Modern family is by far one of my favorite shows. It has enough of a twist to keep you entertained unlike so many other shows out there.
Archer is one of the funniest shows I’ve seen in recent years! I laugh just thinking about it…
Thanks for writing! Check me out at theusualbliss.com sometime. Congrats on being Freshly Pressed!
Why you no watch Modern Family?!
But seriously, it is going to be worth your weekend if you decide to sport a Modern Family marathon. They’ve got the right mix of quirks and comic timing; I don’t know, but somehow you can tell the actors themselves like what they’re doing.
Pretty good list. I am a big fan of Parks & Rec and Happy Endings for the exact same reasons. I am seriously disappointed by The Office over the past two or so seasons. Once my favorite show, almost on par with Seinfeld, and now it truly feels disjointed and sporadically organized. I have enjoyed tidbits of Up All Night and my wife and I are both big fans of Modern Family.
All in all, good list, bud.
http://www.briancanever.wordpress.com
I love Community (#6seasonsandamovie!), Parks & Rec, and Modern Family. Plus The Office was HILARIOUS all the way up until Steve Carell left…Cool post! Awesome cover photo!
I thought I was the only one who loved Happy Endings! No one else I know watches it…and Modern Family just keeps on giving. I’m so glad both are coming back.
This post only spoke about Network TV. I think the best new shows are coming from cable TV…Nurse Jackie and The Big C on Showtime are two must sees…although I’d admit that their first seasons were their best ones.
And over on HBO the brand new Veep and Girls look to be great hits…the best thing about the cable shows is that they film without a laugh track….I think it lends to better character development because they aren’t going for the pacing of a big laugh every 10 sec.
Great post!
Happy Endings definitely almost took the Most Underrated, but I had to give it funniest because I absolutely love it. And I’ve had my fingers dabbled into a bit of cable. I’m a big fan of HBO and I can’t wait till Boardwalk Empire starts and mentioned my love for Game of Thrones. I’ve heard about Girls and Veep, but never tuned in early enough to catch them. Dexter on Showtime is also awesome. I tried to stay in touch with Showtime this spring with Shameless, but I lost interest halfway through the season.
I started watching this season of the Office…and just never got around to continuing watching it. The funny part is…I like Andy, I never liked Michael. But with Michael gone, is it really the Office?
♥ Modern Family is Great. I also took a liking to New Girl after awhile.
The Office sucks, but the most resent episode of Community have more than made me love the show I would have otherwise thought of as “meh”
Excellent post, a couple of shows I really need to look into that i hadn’t thought of before! Thanks!
Love Modern Family!!! You gotta see this! It is soooooo funny!!!
I watched The Office twice and gradually got to like it. But, since Steve is gone, I haven’t watched any of its new episode…
I can’t stand The Big Bang Theory either! I just don’t find it funny at all.
Hate Zoey and her annoying, “I am so quirky” thing but like the writing on that show. It is funny. If you haven’t seen the scene where they play the drinking game, you need to watch it.
Also the B in apartment 23 is witty as well. I hope this has a longer run. It is darkly hilarious. I really like how Dawson makes fun of himself.
Nice post!
love Parks and Recreation
Great post, and congrats on your selection to freshly pressed.
I agree with your rankings almost entirely (which is surprising) but I gotta say Community is funnier than Happy Endings (just slightly but more absurdly which I like). Modern Family is great too, you should definitely check it out. And I have to say, I am not sad that The Office will be back. While Andy Bernard is no Michael Scott; a bad episode of The Office is better than a good episode of most other comedies. It has been in decline for a few seasons now, but I would rather watch The Dunder Mifflin gang over How I Met Your Mother or Big Bang Theory.
In terms of which is funnier, nitpicking which of these two fantastic shows will only result a difference in opinion. I personally think Happy Endings is as funny as Community is at being clever. What isn’t opinion is definitely what you said about a bad episode of any of these shows being better than 90% of what’s on TV. That for sure is fact. I only berate the Office because I have high hopes for Ricky Gervais and whoever is writing and producing in keeping it in the right direction of the show we’ve come to love nearly 8 seasons. My opinion of the bottom of the barrel is still better than majority of what’s on TV, and I’m glad you also recognize this as well. Thank you for commenting!
Good point on the difference of opinion, I meant to phrase that I find Community to be just slightly funnier and clearly failed. I was really hoping David Brent would take over as the regional manager; Ricky Gervais and Steve Carrell don’t exactly have the same style, Gervais is less lovable, but I think it would have worked better than Andy.
Hi versipellusfenris. How I Met Your Mother is the kind of show that fools you into thinking you are having a good time but you end up feeling like you’ve ate a tub of popcorn — bloated and sadder than when you started. That’s how I feel at least. That’s why i stay away. Big Bang Theory I just cannot connect with; I mean, how far can nerd life go (no offence to nerds).
Adore Modern Family, though.
Really good pictures! 😀
http://journeythroughhtml.wordpress.com/
I agree with everything here.
Great post. I try not to watch too much TV, so when I do…it’s great if it’s not a waste of my time. Thanks!
I’ve never seen Happy Endings, The New Girl, The Bitch in Apt 23, or Modern Family.
You’re right…Krysten Ritter and Sofia Vergara seem to be awesome actresses though, and I’m a big fan of them both…even though I’ve never seen any of their work (other than commercials).
Happy Endings has a very good episode where it targets the hipster demographic for it’s absurd approach to everything in life [in a respectful and hilarious way]. I recommend you check it given your target demographic. I googled it and found the name to be: Dave of the Dead [Season 1, episode 7]. Their non-flamboyant gay character Max is likely one of my favorite hipsters on TV.
Cool..yeah, I’ll check that out.
Thanks!
Max is definitely flamboyant in his own way! I enjoy watching Happy Endings because they feel so current. Otherwise the fast paced jokes kind of give me a headache, so it’s not the comedy winner for me. I don’t know about comparing it to friends and calling it “the new friends” which is something that many are pitching it to be (same thing done with How I met your mother, et. al., which, by the way, I can’t stand watching either. I agree with you completely about those shows; stupidity and vulgarity combined, and they call it comedy. What happened to smart writing?).
Well, I have to say that I hoped Wayans Jr. would go back to New Girl (happy to see you wish for a cameo too)… But I wanted this so bad that I hoped Happy Endings would flop so that it would happen (so mean of me)! And yes, I almost stopped watching it but New Girl is still one of my favorites thanks to the improved writing.
I absolutely love Modern Family, it’s the winner for me. All the characters are hilarious in their own way and at the same time you get a warm fuzzy feeling that comes from “family” after watching an episode or two of them (er, or is it just me?). If this post was Freshly Pressed with any other show thumbnail, I probably wouldn’t have clicked to read, that’s how much of a Modern Family fan I am.
I did not watch some of the shows you mentioned like Archer, but since you compared it to Arrested Development, I think I might give it a look!
Thanks for a fun post.
Agreed with the current part. Their jokes are so relevant. The new ‘Friends’ is high praise and should not be dealt out to every show ever, but the fact that Brad even called each of the six by their respective names, [Fat Joey was hilarious] it’s much closer than I would say for other shows. Penny is too Phoebe-esque, the on-again-off-again nature of Dave and Alex. The metrosexual and his high strung wife. And one liner comedic relief. It’s too close, which might be considered a bad thing, but like you said, the fast paced makes it individual and original.
Coach needs to cameo and glad someone else noticed the improvement in writing.
Watch Archer and let me know. It’s got a very distinct sense of humor, but if you’re into Arrested Development, then hopefully you’ll like it too. Besides Judy Greer, Jeffrey Tambor, David Cross, and Jessica Walters are all voice actors!
Thanks for such a fun response!
Parks and Rec will be missed. I absolutely heart Modern Family!
been told Big Bang has a live audience – but what do I know. very entertaining blog.
You’ve made some great choices here; good for you!
Congrats on being Freshly Pressed, by the way!
Parks and Rec is one of my favorite shows — and it became so much better this season with the inclusion of Paul Rudd. I seriously want to marry that man … even though I’m 6 feet tall, and he’s about 3-foot-nothing. Oh well.
😉
I agree with you on all these shows, except that I haven’t watched Archer. But your descriptions about what’s good and bad about the rest of them are spot on. Well done!
Then it appears Archer is the best TV show you’re not watching! I highly recommend it if you’re into shows like Arrested Development [especially considering that they have a lot of cast in its own cast].
Good to know, I’ll see if I can find the time to watch it, cause I do like Arrested Development.
Love Modern Family!
love modern family, but can do without community and new girl. the office, however, i am hanging on to because of cognitive dissonance or some strange reason… 🙂
Modern family is seriously funny. you should get more engrossed in it 🙂
Beautiful photographs
