The Middle is my favorite abc comedy and then modern family and cougar town are tied for second and I can’t even make it through one episode of Hank.

It’s not the tackiness for me; I like the premise and the goofiness (since the “Scrubs” guy, Bill Lawrence”, created it, it has a similar tone)–but it just isn’t executed well at all by the cast, writers, or directors. They need to learn SOME subtlety.

Poor Kelsey Grammer, as a Frasier fan, I’m sad to see how Kelsey is performing poorly on his new.

I like the the 3 sitcoms of ABC. I miss family sitcoms and Modern Family & The Middle are doing a good job. Cougar Town is guilty pleasure fun but I understand why some people are turned off by the show’s tackiness. Anyway, Cougar’ Town’s number will probably rise again nexr plus the upcoming guesting of Lisa Kudrow will help the show.

I’m glad that Modern Family is clicking to the audience

All of it, The Punisher? Or just “Eastwick” and “Cougar Town”.

Please, share the lulz.

If you people watch this trash then Lord help you. Shallow doesn’t even come close to the word that discribes you!

When they can find something nice to say about “Eastwick’s” performance and can’t find something nice to say about yours, you know the end is certainly near…

Cox is looking pretty foxy, and this is coming from a homo. Still, her beauty and the hotness of the neighbor are not enough to keep me around with that painful acting (although if the tone were adjusted, I guess the scripts are okay).

I’m glad you’re another fan of “The Middle”, Mike! Brick is one of my favorite characters this season, as well =). It does pretty well, despite following “Hank”. But they really need to give it a better lead-in, stat. I feel that they might give it another shot, especially since they gave “Better Off Ted” a second season, but I’m still freaking nervous.

The middle is my absolute favorite new comedy by a mile! I think the young boy is pure comic genius! Too bad that following Hank is killing it.

Move the middle to after modern family and watch it’s ratings. I have not even bothered to DVR cougar town anymore in spite of gorgeous Courtney Cox.

“Cougar Town” is, and always will be, a piece of hyena dung. Its far too manic in style and the acting/line-delivery is downright horrendous. Courteney Cox, usually quite a terrific actress (well, more so with drama, she tries too hard with comedy now and then) doesn’t convince; Busy Phillips is a cartoon; Christa Miller can’t move her face; Bryan Van Holt is like a bad MadTV sketch; only Josh Hopkins, as the neighbor across the street, and more so Dan Byrd, as her teenage son, provide any sort of leverage. Byrd, in particular, is quite a gifted comic actor. It’s practically effortless–he just nails every line. He’s the bright spot on each show. But I wish him a much, much better series.

“Hank” and “Eastwick” are just lame. But while “Eastwick” is cute lame, “Hank” simply has no excuse. I suspect they aren’t announcing cancellation so soon just to be nice. Once its episodes run out, it’s almost certainly kaput. I just hope the network sees how many people switch channels after “Modern Family” (amazing, hilarious) when “Cougar Town” is on; similarly, I hope ABC recognizes how many people tune into their network for “The Middle” (which is great and should be paired with “Modern Family” ASAP), and stay tuned in until “Modern Family” is over. Then, pair those two shows with “Better Off Ted” and “Scrubs”, and you’ve got gold.

Oops…I was commenting on Eastwick in case anyone was wondering. I think Cougar Town is a terrible show and sends a very bad message about women and relationships.

Last night’s show was great. The plot are getting more and more interesting each week. Introducing more story line about the Cybil Shepherd and Veronica Cartright characters makes me want to see what’s coming next. How do they impact the other girls? More people need to watch this show. It is keeping and growing the audience it does have and with out any promotional effort on ABC’s part, but needs some support to keep it going.

I was forced by a friend to watch Modern Family and Cougar Town last night. They weren’t as bad as I thought they’d be, but I still think the days of the half hour comedy are over.

I agree with Liban, Cougar Town is hilarious. So is Eastwick, though Eastwick is cheesy-hilarious. I hope both shows stick around, but while Cougar Town has a real chance (I’m sure it’ll bounce back once baseball is over), Eastwick will need a miracle.

I wish more people would just watch Cougar Town after Modern Family… stick around! It’s hillarious!

It was beaten by the CW.

I’ve watched all of both, for some reason. I’m mostly torturing myself with The Middle. It’s just not that good.

I’ve seen most of the Modern Family episodes. I only saw the premiere of the Middle.

I watched the Hank pilot, lets just say it wasn’t good. I watched The Middle and Modern Family, and I’m hooked on both! The middle is so funny! They exaggerate sometimes, but that makes it even funnier, and Modern Family is so far the best new show this season other than V. For some reason I always ask, but Robert have you watched The Middle or Modern Family yet?
