2013: The Return of the Comedy



In the past couple of years networks have tried to pass Comedies to the audiences and failed trying. As said in my previous article, the networks don't make them like they used to in the 80's and early 2000's. Previous comedies have been considered classics,and only a handful great comedies are left, Modern Family, Community, The Big Bang Theory, Parks and Rec. and Two and a Half Men remain. With Community and Two and a Half Men getting old for some viewers that leaves only three really good comedies left for the future. So is this year the return of the comedy. The six above aren't all predicted to make a big splash although a couple of them are. NBC is relying heavily on their new comedy filled lineup after cancelling every one but two comedies(Community and Parks and Rec.) to make room on their schedule. Only a few NBC comedies are expected to make the cut this year, but over at FOX they are being declared the winner of this years pilot season, having interesting dramas and hilarious comedies. (except for Dads.) As for ABC, and CBS their schedules seems to have opened as they also let go of a lot of shows to try to add more laughs to their schedules. I am predicting that the MJF show, The Goldbergs, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine will be the saviors of this years comedy crop and finally get network television back to form.
