Sitcoms!


1. Curb Your Enthusiasm by Larry David
Remember Seinfeld? Another show by the same producer. It has been running for a while now but I discovered it fairly recently. For once, I love a show where the lead character is an old guy who is extremely lousy and always manages to get into trouble. What I admire about it, though, is that the situations depicted in every episode are very close to real life and yet hilarious. It is like a Truman show of Larry David's life, although this one's funny.

2. The Big Bang Theory
We all know and love this one. I don't know anyone so far who doesn't like it.

3.  Whitney!
This is a new show and one of my new favorites too. It is about an unmarried yet committed couple's life and their gang of friends. I love the lead actors - she is funny, smart and truly unromantic while he is rugged on the outside and soft on the inside. Cute couple, funny stories and a fun gang. It might sound like a chic show but once you see how unromantic(and funny) the title character(also the creator/producer) is, you'll forget that you even thought about it that way.

4. The Office
I tried. Trust me, I did try to watch this show after Michael Scott left. In fact, I have been following it quite a bit. But the show has lost it's charm for me. I realized how much he meant to the show. Andy is funny but doesn't pack a punch, you know?

5. Two and a Half Men
Another show which has lost it's flavor since Charlie Sheen left. Ashton Kutcher is fine but I think I am bored of the show in general. Can't believe that the same producer still churns out good episodes on The Big Bang Theory!

    1. I do love Frasier :) how could I forget Frasier?
      I'm a little bored of how I met... It got extremely cheesy as the seasons progressed.

  2. Shalaka my new favorite,favorite show is 'The Wonder Years'. Such a beautiful, sensitive show. It is on netflix too!
    From your list of favorite shows above, I do like 'Curb your Enthusiasm'. But don't know what went wrong between me and 'Big Bang'. I have nothing to comment on 'Whitney'. Yeah, 'The Office' just is not the same as the earlier seasons, is it?
