I don't know if IFC is going to start airing episodes of Coach or not, the TV show Coach, the best sitcom ever.

I know they're airing some this morning, though. I walked in and Jilly was watching, and after I took a shower, I'm like, fucking Coach, yes. Also, I did discover that Coach, the full series of Coach, is on Amazon Prime. God, it's such a good show. It's got like nine seasons, I think, nine or 10 seasons of Coach. My God, it's such a good show. Ross, your brother, your dearly departed brother, he's named after one of the characters on Coach, after Luther Van Damme, the older gentleman who kind of looks like your great-grandma Edna. But anyway, so Coach, boy we're talking about great sitcoms of all time man coach is on the

mount rushmore of greatest sitcoms of all time right up there with king of queens i'm gonna do something i'm going to regret i'm gonna look up greatest sitcoms of all time and let's see where it like no one's gonna have coach right but uh let's see. No one's going to have Coach, right? But let's see. This is from Rolling Stone. Now, Rolling Stone's maybe not the greatest example for this because the Rolling Stone is a tryhard that doesn't even exist in physical form anymore, right? It's all online. There's no way Coach is in the best 100 sitcoms of all time.

But by God, Coach should be in the top 100 sitcoms of all time, but by God, Coach should be in the top 100 sitcoms of all time. Let's see. Well, number 100 on their list is Schitt's Creek, which I would put above many shows. Like, Schitt's Creek was a brilliant show. I don't even know where you can access it anymore for free. I think where I discovered it was on Netflix, but I don't think it's on Netflix anymore. It's either somewhere you have to pay for it, or it's one of those sites where, like, Tubi or something. I don't think it's on Netflix anymore. It's either somewhere you have to pay for it or it's one of those sites where like Tubi or something. I don't know. But Schitt's Creek was a fantastic show. And if you never watched it, you should. lists that put a show called frank's place from 1987 to 1988 nobody knows what the fuck this is the most hard to find show on this list um this warm-hearted gym reunited wkrp and cincinnati

creator hugh wilson with one of that show's stars tim reed for a serious comic trip to new orleans reed plays ivy league professor frank, who inherits the family restaurant and travels home with the goal of selling it and leaving quickly, only to fall victim to a voodoo curse that forces him to stick around and run the place. Rolling Stone, you're trying too hard. Number 99 on the 100 greatest sitcoms of all time, now this list list is from 2021. It's a show called Frank's Place that no one in the world's ever fucking heard of. Dairy Girls on Netflix.

I never watched that, so I couldn't tell you anything about it. The OG Night Court. Now, that's a program. My grandma loved Night Court. So Grandma Edna would watch shows. She liked Jack Tripper. We've talked about that.

She loved Jack Tripper. She didn't call Three's Company. She called it Jack Tripper. That was Grandma that she loved Jack Tripper she didn't call three's company she called Jack Tripper that was grandma she would kind of call tv shows by the name of someone that's one of the characters in the tv show so it'd be like Jack Tripper you know and and she every time she talked about Jack Tripper she'd say he tickles me son she loved Night Court I just remember Night Court being on all the time. Maybe I'm making that up, but I remember that. Let's see. Bluey. Okay, whatever. Baskets on FX. That's the one with Zach Galifianakis. I never watched that one, so I couldn't tell you. Insecure on HBO. That's the one with, what's her name, Issa Rae. That's not for me, so I don't think I'm allowed to judge that.

Let's see. Big Mouth. Now, Big Mouth on Netflix is a phenomenal show. Are they done with Big Mouth or is there going to be another season? I don't remember. But I'll tell you this. First time I saw Big Mouth, we're on a plane and I usually just download a bunch of shit for flights and I'm like, some things we haven't seen. I have a special category of shit that I have seen. There's also a category of shit that I, because I know Jilly is going to fall asleep. So there's a special category of shit that like I want to see, but I know she doesn't. There's shit I've already seen for if she falls asleep. And then there's shit that we both want to watch. So we put on Netflix, we're sitting on a flight. I forgot where we were going, but we were flying somewhere.

And a couple minutes into the first episode of Netflix there are giant cartoon dicks playing basketball against each other and it was the funniest shit I had ever seen and I'm laughing my ass off on the plane and I'm hoping people aren't seeing me watching these cartoon dicks playing basketball against each other and that set the tone for what I think is one of the great fucking shows I've ever seen it's it kind of tailed off there kind of in the last couple seasons but really really good shit if you've never watched Big Mouth you should that's a good show uh Daria I don't remember enough about Daria to talk about I know that I used to watch it because I used to watch all those MTV shows Beavis and Butthead Daria Singled Out with Jenny McCarthy, and then Carmen Electra.

Spring Break, all that shit. TRL, I used to be into it. Buffalo Bill. There's also no way that this is a good show. But number 91 is a show that's on for one season. This is... um this is uh coleman's so dabney coleman stars as bill bittinger the number one rated daytime talk show host in buffalo new york railing against the smut peddlers and immoral businessmen tainting our great nation okay well obviously it wasn't that good of a show nobody watched it

big bang theory is number 90 that show i do not get at all I tried because it's always on and I'll watch an episode I don't get the Bazinga I don't get the fucking Sheldon I don't get fucking Rusty from Christmas Vacation all I get is that the blonde chick is really hot Kaley Cuoco what's her name Penny Kaley Cuoco is really hot that's all I know about that show A Different World is number 89 that was the Cosby show spinoff uh let's see Party Down which was I think on Starz that's got Adam Scott didn't really watch it so I couldn't tell you Soap I didn't watch let's scroll through some of these Living Single Living Single was what you would call Black Friends and I don't know which one came first if friends came first or if like black friends came first and then they created friends after they like we need to put white people in the show and we'll call it friends but that's

already happened it's called living single or they really if you want to get technical they already had this kind of shit with the uh with the golden girls i mean the golden girls did it before all of them they just did it with geriatrics uh let's see um let's see so that's on there that's number 84 the george burns and gracie allen show that's also a try hard they're in a human reading a rolling stone in 2021 that knows or cares about the george burns andie Allen show. Modern Family is number 84, and that's an outrage. Modern Family, particularly the first handful of seasons of Modern Family, is quite possibly the funniest television show I've ever seen. And it's different, like Coach, I talk about Coach and how great Coach is. Coach was a sitcom in the true form of sitcom, you know, like laugh track-y sitcom,

King of Queens-y sitcom. Like it was a sitcom. Like I don't really view Modern Family, although by definition it is a sitcom. It's not a laugh track. I think Modern Family is a beautiful show. I was sad. Like it's really one of the few shows that I remember watching from beginning to end as it happened. Every week I had to watch it to the point that I remember like when it debuted, like it debuted in 2009. I just moved to Houston and, um, and you had that and you had another show called the middle, which I watched some of when it first aired, but me and Jilly went back and watched the middle in its entirety. And now we just put that show on to fall asleep to every night. Fucking fantastic. The middle is a beautiful, awesome, wonderful show, and if you haven't watched

The Middle, you should. But when that debuted, I believe it was Modern Family, The Middle, Cougar Town, which was also for its first couple of seasons before it moved to cable. The first couple of seasons of Cougar Town, fucking fantastic with Courtney Cox. Great fucking show. I believe the creator of the show was the same guy that created Scrubs, maybe. What's that guy's name? Bill Lawrence. I think he created that or was part of it. Great fucking show. And then there was also some show, the fourth show that premiered on ABC in that same day, which I think was Wednesdays or Tuesdays, one of them, was a show with Kelsey Grammer that lasted like a week but

the other three were huge huge well two of them were huge shows and Cougar Town was you know okay but you should do everything you can to watch all of Modern Family like the other day some Christmas episodes were on and I was laughing my dick off uh let's see Letter Kenny on Crave. I haven't watched this show. How I Met Your Mother. That's another one that I've never understood. Maybe if I watched it, I'd get it. But every time I see an episode of it, I'm just not into it. That's number 82. Will and Grace, never got into it. Sanford Sun, quality program at number 80. WKRP in Cincinnati. I think that I think this show is so funny because of the radio aspect. If they weren't in radio and they were working at an ad agency or somewhere else, I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much. But my dad had me watching it when I was a kid. I laughed my fucking ass off.

It's a great show. Johnny Fever. Love WKRP. Good quality program. Peep Show show don't know what that is one day at a time on Netflix never watched it didn't care new girl that's another show I never got into mostly because Zooey Deschanel is this weird comp this combo of like super nerd hot but also impossible to watch because her voice is annoying and everything about her is annoying so like she's super attractive and I totally dig the vibe but she's like weird and mousy and strange and I can't get into it so I never watched the show the Black Adder now the Black Adder is a

Rowan Atkinson show on the BBC and I never watched it but I used to see shit for it all the time never watched Futurama never got got into that. That's 74. Abfab. That's another BBC show. Never really watched it though. Let's see. The Comeback. Jilly speaks very highly of The Comeback, which is a Lisa Kudrow show that was on HBO. Rick and Morty. Never watched that, but a lot of people tell me I should. Number 70, The Phil Silver Show. Nobody knows what the fuck that is. Flight of the Conchords, never watched. That's 69.

Maud. I want to go back and watch Maud. That's 68. Jack Benny Program, no. Get Smart. Never really found Get Smart to be that good either, but it was a Nick at Night staple. Phineas and Ferb, number 65.

Fucking Phineas and Ferb. Can you stop trying so hard this is why magazines don't exist anymore you dumb hipster dopes uh what we do in the shadows is number 64 that's on fx designing women at number 63 now that's a show man i used to watch the shit out of designing women with charlene and suzannebaker and all those motherfuckers. God, Gene Smart. My God, what a show. Love that show.

It was also created by a couple from, the husband, I believe, is from Arkansas. The wife was born in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, my hometown. They created a production company, I think, called Mozark Productions. And they created shows like Designing Women, a show called Hearts of Fire with John Goodman and Marky Post. They created a couple of good TV shows. Oh, and Evening Shade, which was a show that I enjoyed as well with Burt Reynolds. The Thick of It, I don't know what that is. Catastrophe, didn't watch that. I have no idea what that is. Good Times, solid program. Space, didn't see that. Number 58 idea what that is Good Times, Solid Program Space, didn't see that

number 58 it's Gary Shandling's show is that really a sitcom? You're the Worst on FX don't know what the fuck that is Murphy Brown, you guys would like Murphy Brown you know the thing is Murphy Brown was one I remember watching and like as a kid didn't really get it cause it's you know

maybe it's something I need to go back and watch I know they tried to reboot the damn thing and it was terrible so take that for what it is uh let's see odd couple no bernie mack show that was good scrubs at number 53 boy scrubs is a quality program too jilly doesn't really get into it i'm like jilly i don't get it man like scrubs a fucking killer show uh i'm alan partridge that's another bb show. Police Squad, which is what all the movies ended up spawning. Police Squad was Naked Gun before Naked Gun. So that's 50. So that's the top 50 shows according to Rolling Stone. Let me do this. I got to play some commercials here for you guys, and we will continue after this. All right. If you're ready to win some real cash during the basketball

News Radio is number 50 on here. I might go back and re-watch that. That's one I didn't really pay that much attention to. Obviously, Joe Rogan was on that before he became, you know, the Joee rogan we know now although he wasn't a huge part of that show then of course phil hartman died while that show was on his wife plugged him and then plugged herself and then they replaced him with i think john lovitz i think is who they replaced him with and what's his name was on there

too um oh andy dick hot ass maura tierney who was just like the hot kind of mom-ish chick of that era. She was the mom in Liar Liar. I think she's hot. Barney Miller. The Jeffersons. Fresh Prince. Fresh Prince is a show that I just don't get. The whole world, especially people of my age group, talk about the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air like it was the most revolutionary TV show ever. I don't get it,

but whatever. It's fine. It's just like all the other sitcoms of the 90s. I might actually enjoy Family Matters more than I enjoy Fresh Prince of Bel-Air if we're going for that era. Good Place, that's another one I couldn't get into. Me and Jilly tried to watch it and i'm just like i don't i don't get it jim mudd enjoyed it it just it didn't do anything for me broad city at number 45 that's a bit high for that but broad city especially the first couple seasons of broad city like usually what happens is like when these kind of shows like this come out of nowhere and then they're like they're solid shows and you're like like like it's kind of cute, and you don't really know the stars all that much. The first couple seasons tend to be better than later when they have a little bit more power.

They become more of celebrities, and they start doing a little bit more of what they want to do. And then it gets weird and not really all that good. That happened to Broad City. But I think the first two or three seasons of Broad City, really fucking funny. And if you haven't seen it, you should watch it. I think the same thing kind of happened to a bunch of shows. Like if you watch the first few years and maybe this show will pop up on here, but a show called Bojack Horseman, which was a cartoon on Netflix, first couple of seasons of it, really good. And then like, it gets weird. Same thing happened to Community. Community with Joel McHale was a show that like,

like it was weird already, but then they made it too weird. And whenever like the shows gain some popularity and then they start getting into what the creator and the people really want to do. And they start going away from what the mainstream type of people like, not even mainstream, but just normal people enjoy. That's when that show usually starts to struggle. And then when I lose interest and that's all I give a shit about. And Broad City did that. Like I lost interest in Broad City in the last couple of seasons.

I lost interest in Awkwafina. What's that? Nora from Queens. I thought the first season or so of Nora from Queens was funny. And then it got too fucking weird. And when shit gets too weird is when I lose interest in you. Like you can't go away from what made you because you got a little bit more power, and now it's like, let's just try a bunch of weird,

dumb shit and see what happens. But Broad City, that's high, number 45. But Veep, I never watched it, but I hear it's pretty good. Brooklyn Nine-Nine, people tell me that's fucking great too, but maybe I'll go back and watch those at some point. Brockmire, now that's a fucking show. But that kind of happened to Brockmire too

uh Brockmire was great for the first two seasons but it like what happened to Brockmire now Brockmire is a show uh where Hank Azaria plays a baseball broadcaster that has this great job and gets fired I think after he catches his wife like cheating on him or some shit I think it's how it started but like like I think what happens is you make a great show. You don't realize it's going to be a great show. People love that. It is a show people love. And by the time you're getting towards the end of it, you just want to do dumb shit. And I don't remember how Brock Meyer ended, but I know that we fucking love the first season. Like, I think the same thing kind of happened in like eastbound and down like the first couple well the first season was great then he goes to uh mexico and those were fine then they come back and it goes to uh that he's

playing in the minors for the in myrtle beach and that was a really good season and then the last season was fine but like it's tough it's same things happening with the righteous gemstones like it starts out with a pretty cool premise, and then it almost gets to the point that it's kind of ridiculous and almost supernatural, and it's not as good. That happens to a lot of these shows. First season of Vice Principals with Danny McBride was really good, and then it got too weird. Brockmire just wasn't as good in the last season of it.

King of the Hill, that's a fabulous show. Let's see. That's number 41. I don't know what Review is on Comedy Central, hill that's a fabulous show uh let's see that's number 41 i don't know what review is on comedy central but that's number 40 blackish never got into blackish it was just something it wasn't for me like i'd watch the promos that would air and i'd be like yeah i don't think i'm the guy they're looking for for this show uh friends i think friends is a steaming pile of shit jilly loves it it. Ross. Apparently you're named after one of these Jim Oaks. I think the dead one. No, wait, Ross is not the dead one. Chandler. You're not named after Chandler. Chandler's dead. You're named after Ross. I

don't know why they named you after Ross, but they said they named you after the guy in friends. They said you kind of look like him. I don't see it. Um, but, um, yeah, I, I don't get it. Jilly's like, Oh, it's such a great show. It's terrible. I don't get it. Jilly's like, oh, it's such a great show. It's terrible. I don't get it. Like it is like the lowest rung of like white people comedy that I just like, just like nineties white people, terrible comedy. And I don't get it.

Uh, Bob's burgers. I've watched some of it. The shit I've watched is funny. I just, it's, I never got into finishing it. Sex in the city. Never watched a second of it, but for some reason it seems like something I'd enjoy. Everybody Loves Raymond, I think,

is also a terrible fucking show. I don't like it. I really don't like anybody on the show. Well, I take that back. I like Patricia Heaton, who's wonderful, but I really hate Ray Romano for some reason. I don't know why. I just hate him,

and I hate that fucking show with a passion. That's number 35. SpongeBob, that's Tank's favorite. Better Things on FX. I didn't watch that, so I couldn't tell you. The Golden Girls, strong fucking program at number 32. Fawlty Towers, that's a BBC show, but I never... Was John Cleese in Fawlty Towers?

Yeah, he was. The Office, but the UK version of The Office. There's a solid try-hard move there. I wouldn't doubt that a bunch of Ricky Gervais shit is at the top ten of this list. Always Sunny. That's the problem with Always Sunny. Always Sunny, early on, fantastic and really hit its stride. And then at times it kind of tails off and they'll do really dumb shit that I don't get into and then like it'll pull me back in like there was a stretch where the comedy just really

was I'm not gonna say it was woke it was just different and I wasn't into it but then they'll do something that pulls my ass right back in basically that show exists for whenever they each do something individually that doesn't stick for very long they can always come back to this although speaking of shows that were hot and they were great and then they kind of tailed off individually that doesn't stick for very long, they can always come back to this. Although, speaking of shows that were hot and they were great and then they kind of tailed off, watch a show called AP Bio. The episodes I think now are on Netflix, but we watched the first couple seasons when they aired. AP Bio with Glenn Haverton, who played Dennis on Always Sunny. Fucking funny the first couple seasons, but as is usually the case, it gets weird and then it's not as good anymore and that tends to be what happens with these shows.

That was 29. 28's Malcolm in the Middle. Never got into Malcolm in the Middle. There's a reboot of that coming. I don't know who asked for it. Louie is number 27. I really have always been turned on in a major way by the chick that was in louis she was also the voice of her name's pamela adlon she was the voice of bobby hill and she was also runkel's wife uh marcy in californication which is one of my favorite shows ever and i met her when i was a kid didn't even realize i met her like we were we were dad was doing a recording session in la doing one of these movies and like every like big name person you can imagine that did voices was there. Like the dudes from Pinky and the Brain were there.

Mimi from Drew Carey was just walking around. And then this chick, Pamela Adlon, who did the voice of Bobby Hill, didn't think anything of it. Years later, I'm watching Californication. I go, holy shit, I met this chick when I was a kid. There's a picture of me somewhere with Pamela Adlon, who I'm just in love with. I find her to be ridiculously sexy. Bob Newhart show, didn't really watch it. Atlanta. Atlanta is another example. So Atlanta, that's the show with Childish Gambino about Paperboy. I'm all about that Paperboy. The first season or two

of Atlanta is a totally normal show. And I'm like, I like this show a lot. And then it got really fucking weird. And I'm like, I'm out. I like, and I get like, I guess what happens with people is you're good at what you do. You have success. You're creative. You want to do something different, but sometimes that's to your detriment. Like that's me. Like I do things sometimes are successful and then I get bored with it and I run it into the ground. Like maybe that's what happens with these people. Not that I'm childish Gambino or whatever, but that happens, and I get it, but that's when I lose interest. A lot of people say they lost interest in some of the shows I do, and I try to go way too deep on the inside radio shit and do

whatever. That's fine. I get it it that's number 25 on this Rolling Stone list Community is number 24 the first couple of seasons of Community were fucking great then it got too weird and I think part of that's because Dan Harmon the the guy who created the show like lost his fucking mind to The Office the US version I don't find it to be funny really at all Jilly likes it Jim likes it just one that I've never gotten into. It might be because I'm very anti-Steve Carell. I just don't get it. I'd rather watch Parks and Recreation, which I think is an exponentially better show.

Is Parks and Recreation a ripoff of The Office? 100%. Same goddamn show, basically. Different setting. Better characters, better show. That's The Office at number 23. South Park, fantastic. god like the shit that i used to watch on that when i was a kid man late 90s south park was the tits the world was a better

place in the 90s only because the anti-hero was the king now we don't get the anti-hero anymore we need more anti-heroes we need more attitude era fleabag never watched fleabag so i can't speak to it number 20 bo, BoJack Horseman. BoJack was a great show. The cartoon on Netflix was a great show about a human horse that was on a sitcom, and now as it has been. The first couple of seasons were so good, and then it just got kind of like, eh. It got very mad. But it was a good show. Roseanne at number 19. I fucking love Roseanne.

Great program. 30 Rock. 30 Rock to me is another show that's similar in a way to The Office, although it's not like a mockumentary. 30 Rock is so fucking good. And that's at number 18. I'm also a huge Tina Fey guy. I'm in love with Tina Fey, so there's that.

Number 17 is Taxi. I'd have to go back and watch more episodes of Taxi to tell you if I think it's any good or not. Cosby Show. Cosby, look, guy was a weirdo. Cosby Show is a great fucking show. That's also got kind of lame towards the end, but early Cosby Show, spectacular. Number 15, Arrested Development Development Arrested Development may be the greatest example of a great fucking show that just got too fucking weird and convoluted and I couldn't follow it anymore so the original first three seasons of Arrested Development were great the third one was kind of weird and the chick for British eyes only and like it was fine first two seasons spectacular it was already a weird acerbic show that's why it never found a mainstream audience then they brought it back for netflix and it was just never good there were some decent like bits of it on netflix like the the scene where um tobias funke is dressed as um

as whatever fucking character he was oh the thing or whatever they call him and uh help daddy get his rocks off. Like, that was good. There was a Catch Predator episode. There was some funny shit. But it was so convoluted to follow when they brought it back to Netflix that I just never went back to it again. I think they bombed it. Let's see.

Andy Griffith. If you're into that kind of shit, fine. That's number 14. Frasier. Frasier's actually quite overrated. That's another one of those 90s phenomenons that you go back on and you're like, it's fine. But the fact that Frasier was consistently the number one show was wild. Cheers was obviously better than Frasier.

12, Curb Your Enthusiasm. I think Curb Your Enthusiasm, when you're in the right seasons of it, is the most brilliant sitcom television program that's ever been made. I would put it higher than 12. Dick Van Dyke Show, number 11, no thank you. Is he going to trip over the ottoman? Is he just going to walk around it, stick around to find out? It's comedy. Larry Sanders Show is good. I need to go back and re-watch Larry Sanders Show. That's my kind of show. Number 10, Parks and Rec at number nine. I can't speak highly enough of Parks and Recreation, which is just a brilliant, beautiful, wonderful show,

and I fucking adore it. I didn't watch it when it was happening live. I caught up with it, and then we started watching it live, but it's a great show. Just fucking love it. Ron Swanson, even though he's like a weird, hippie, liberal person in real life, fucking fantastic on that show. Honeymooners at number eight, couldn't tell you. Mary Tyler Moore, really couldn't tell you much about that. Number seven, MASH, I never liked. Maybe as an adult I would, but Grandma used to watch MASH. You could just hear the fucking Suicide is Painless song, and it causes nightmares. Number five, All in the Family, fantastic show. Number four, Lucy, nah. Seinfeld, I think, is another.

The 90s may be the most overrated decade of anything ever, even though that was the main era that I grew up as a kid. I don't think Seinfeld is a good show I don't get into it I don't understand it I don't particularly like Jerry Seinfeld if I want to see a better version of Seinfeld then why don't I just watch uh watch Larry David watch Curb Curb is a much better show Seinfeld I just can't get into it Seinfeld's one of those things that goes right into that 60-year-old sports radio guy who references Goodfellas and Seinfeld and Bruce Springsteen all the time. Not for me. Number two is Cheers, one of the greatest television programs ever. And on here, they have The Simpsons as number one. Simpsons is fine, but whatever. I don't know how I got down this wormhole. Oh, it all started with Coach, which was not on the top

100 sitcoms of all time, which is a tragedy. It's a great show, and it's a sitcom in the true definition of a sitcom, so fuck you, Rolling Stone. And there was no King of Queens, which is one of my favorite shows ever. King of Queens, Coach, dig it. All right, I did not mean to go down that wormhole, but here we fucking are. I got to do some other shit.

Let's talk some sports and other stuff.
