if i wasn’t in my 20s i would find HIMYM really boring but luckily i’m not and i think it’s hilarious, primarily because of NPH.

better off ted got solid laughs from me pert near every episode.

and +1 on top gear. clarkson, may, and hammond strike a very good balance.

Of current shows only:  
**Modern Family** - especially the Gay couple - they really should get a spin off show, they are that good!  
**30 Rock** - Tina Fey can write like nobody else today, and some of the fast lines that zip by are just amazing.  
Surprisingly, **The Middle** has begun to find its footing and getting very funny with the characters as they are fleshing out.  
I like Joan Rivers, and thus I think **How’d You Get So Rich?** is funny, and new shows start in May.  
Kathy Griffin’s **Life On The D List** is funny, but I guess you have to like her sense of humor to get it.  
Hopefully **Curb Your Enthusiasm** comes back again, as that show really cracks me up.

The best is **Two And A Half Men**. Yes, I know in real life Charlie Sheen is an idiot jerk wad, but the show is hysterically funny and never miss an episode!

As per the recent thread, apparently only **Sampiro** and I seem to like **Ugly Betty** , so will leave that.

Another **Big Bang Theory** vote. & The Simpsons still delivers laughs after 20 years!

Personally, the funniest show to me these days is _Red Eye_, the Fox News late-late-late-night spoof on the daily talking-head news analysis shows. Check it out, check-it-outers!..TRM
