The Paul Reiser show looked unbearable to me from the promos. But I can't stand the Larry David show either.
Xander: Look who's got a bad case of Dark Prince envy. Dracula: Leave us. Xander: No, we're not going to "Leabbb you." And where'd you get that accent, Sesame Street? "One, Two, Three - three victims! Maw ha ha!"

I'm not a fan of the Larry David show, but I think that it has some good elements. I think that maybe I was hoping that the Reiser show would be a better Larry David.

OMG! I never looked closely at the Warblers. But looking at that photo, I recognize three of the Bubs from the Sing Off! Hah. I'm pretty much over Glee at this point, but might have to watch again for the 'hey it's that singer.'

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In the show, it's actors lip syncing.

So, I watched the second ep of the Paul Reiser show, and it was dreadful. I will not be watching again.

A rank of all Thursday night NBC comedies over the past 20 years.
I know comedy is subjective, but thank God the writer of that article doesn't have the power to schedule and greenlight shows on a network. Four Kings and Perfect Couples in the middle of the pack? Did his relatives work on them?

Pretty harsh season finale end to Archer. Definitely fits the season, though.

Matt,
isn't that list a little strange? I couldn't believe some of his choices. I suppose the top 10 weren't particularly controversial, but the rest of the list?
Admittedly, I don't remember a good 50% of the shows anyway...
