I didn't watch 30 Rock in its early seasons, but they sucked me in with Tina Fey as Cathy and the MILF Island episode. I find that the mute button is very useful in dealing with Tracy Morgan.

With Sarah Palin joining FOX news I think they may need to bump TDS to an hour.
You know The Colbert Report will fight TDS to the death for Palin coverage opportunities.
So, 2 hour block, then?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks for the Dominic Monaghan confirmation. I will reply to my would-be-corrector with cites. I must have missed that episode of Hetty. I don't remember bummage.
I lapsed out of sitcoms too. I tried to get back into them with mainlining 30 Rock, but it just never took. I've caught bits of HIMYM and it never really worked for me, despite loving NPH and liking AH.
I can still consume UK Coupling (the Jeff seasons) without hesitation, though. I would like to give Extras a shot, for the guest stars.

Because books.
I like what I've caught of The Office, but even HIMYM hasn't really grabbed me. Friends destroyed my sitcom gene!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Community is the funniest sitcom I've seen in a long, long time. I think it's funnier than 30 Rock or Parks and Rec.

Because books.
I've heard good things about Community. Parks and Rec is the same model as The Office, though, right?

Awww... I want to go to Antarctica and use the ATM. I wonder what the use fees are?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
They waive the fees.
Awesome, right?

Here's a clip from the first episode of Community with the brilliant Ken Jeoung as Senor Chang. [link]
And they do these hilarious little outros, generally featuring Abed and Troy. [link]
