30 Rock

And yes, you can't really beat Arrested Development. It is kinda in a league of its own (possibly with "it's always sunny...")

I don't get why it's funny though. I mean, Arrested Development is really, really funny. But 30 Rock is just like, "heh, that's vaguely amusing. Hmm, so is what he said. Yeah, what just happened would be funny if it happened to someone I knew too."

Well, in terms of American sitcoms anyway, there is nothing better than Arrested Development. Maybe The Office, but the forumula was copied so I don't think it deserves all that much credit. Maybe Flight of The Conchords though. I view that as a New Zealander show though, the yanks just funded it.

I don't get the same vibes from 30 Rock as Friends. I wouldn't say the two shows are comparable, but I haven't seen enough 30 Rock to say definitively. I tend to agree with Warpus.

It's not groundbreaking. No live audience was done much better here:

The link is a show that was groundbreaking, and stomps 30 Rocks' ass into the ground. Check it out if you have the time.

It's a tragedy even having those two mentioned together. It's like comparing the first car ever built with the newest Ferrari.

Arrested Development was so brilliant, so very funny. 30 Rock is so... boring and un-funny.

You sir, nailed it.

Ive only seen two episodes, but I found it rather funny. For me Tracy Morgan makes the show. When he got angry at the Boston re-enactors I was in stitches!
