The best shows for the last few years have been Community and Archer.

With Community in limbo, Raising Hope has to be the best live action comedy still airing on TV. Though most of ABC’s sitcom lineup is pretty good too. I like BBT, but can take or leave it. Mostly I watch it via reruns.

Really? You have never HEARD of any of the listed programs?

This is either:

1. Hyperbole

2. You do not own a TV or Internet Connection

As **penache45** said “I have never seen even one episode of the shows listed. Most of them, I’ve never even heard of.”

I also have not seen one episode of the shows listed, and most of them I’ve never heard of.

Sorry to be a party pooper.

ETA: These are the shows I’ve never even heard of:

American Horror Story  
Game of Thrones  
Homeland  
Breaking Bad  
Revolution  
The Walking Dead  
Justified  
Sons of Anarchy  
Boardwalk Empire
