Thanks for the recommendation. I'm enjoying it so far. However, I wouldn't call it a comedy; rather a satire.

Brothers and Sisters (incredible show that was cancelled)
Desperate Housewives (Fantastic writing, but ratings dropped over the years)
The League (Hilarious)
Rome (HBO series- not sure if it cost too much to continue but I will always adore it)

I didn't mind Brothers and Sisters, but didn't like it as much as Everwood, did you ever watch Everwood?

Sadly, that's what keeps garbage on TV, and great shows down.

Community is under-rated by...well, ratings. Critically acclaimed, it's great. I hope it manages to stay past season 3.
Another vote for the inbetweeners. Not sure how popular it is in England, but nobody here knows about it, and nobody here has heard of it. Bumders.

Fair enough. I'd agree with that.

The first series is on Netflic, only three episodes, but if Sherlock Holmes stories are your thing it's a big recommend.

The second series has already aired, though I haven't had a chance to watch any of it. The guy who plays Sherlock is really good. I also like how they made Watson a veteran of the war in Afghanistan (Watson was wounded in Afghanistan in the original Doyle stories). I would recommend these over the RDJ/Guy Ritchie movies.
