What are the best shows on TV right now? What shows are "over" in your mind?

Beth says:  Hands down, the best show on TV right now is "Modern Family". It is hilarious, with great characters and stories that range from outrageous to touching.  I also love "Mike and Molly"--especially the character of Mike's mother.  In terms of new shows, I am really enjoying "American Horror Story" (not just spooky, it slides easily over the line into the realm of completely f*cked up), "New Girl" with the delightfully quirky Zooey Deschannel  and "Up All Night" with Christina Applegate.

Shows that I'm getting bored with/have overstayed their welcome?  Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Glee and longstanding reality shows Dancing with the Stars and American Idol.  It's all same stuff, different faces at this point.

Kevin says:  I love TV, and I hate TV. I like watching TV, but I have a kind of ADD when it comes to actual TV shows. I don't have Tevo, and I don't have a set schedule for watching shows, preferring to wait until I can watch a whole season in one long sitting. As a result, I don't become terribly attached to particular shows as they play on TV, often switching what I watch week to week. With that said, I find that I "happen" to watch certain shows each week --- usually because they're on opposite shows I know I don't want to watch (any reality show, for instance), rather than because I "love" them..

With that said, I'll share with you the current shows I sort-of-regularly watch and those I've recently been watching on Hulu or Netflix.

Current shows I LOVE
Modern Family: This, I believe, is not only the best show currently on TV, I think that it is probably the best cast, best written show on TV in the last decade. Snappy writing and Sofia Vergara's boobs. You can't get better than that.
Mike & Molly: It took me a while to warm up to this show, but it turns out to be pretty solid. And, I've loved Swoosie Kurtz since she was on Sisters with Sela Ward!
The Middle: This fairly traditional sitcom is saved by the wonderfully dysfunctional characters, all flawed but all completely loveable.
Big Bang Theory: Jim Parsons. Enuff said.
Hot in Cleveland: Betty White. Enuff said.

Current shows I like in spite of myself
Two Broke Girls: I didn't have high hopes for this odd-couple type sitcom with fish-out-of-water undertones. It's funny, and Kat Dennings is wonderful.
Happy Endings: The new version of Friends. Good looking people and decent writing. I like that the gay character is a douche-y dude-bro.
Revenge: I've only caught a few episodes of this show, but it's delightfully trashy in an old-school Dynasty sort of way.

Shows that are on the downswing
Two and a Half Men: Let's face it, Two and a Half Men was on a downward trajectory even before Charlie Sheen's oh-so-public meltdown. Bringing on Ashton Kutcher is Fonzie jumping the shark all over again.
How I Met Your Mother: This sitcom has been covering the same ground over and over for the last four seasons. It's become boring.

Shows I've been watching on Netflix/Hulu and LOVE
Being Human (the UK version): Smarter than True Blood (and better written and acted), this vampire-werewolf-ghost drama is smart and engaging.
Damages: Glenn Close rips the scenery to shreds as a sinister high-profile attorney.
30 Rock: Tina Fey. Enuff said.
Satisfaction: I bet you've never heard of this one. It's an Australian drama set in a high-end brothel. Sexy situations, great writing, and a dynamite ensemble cast. I demand that you watch it. You won't be disappointed.
MI-5: Sexy British spies, including Matthew MacFadyen and Hermione Norris. So good!
Misfits: If Heroes and Skins had a baby, it would be Misfits.
