I hate sitcoms. Watch them without the forced laugh track to see how horrible they are.

The Big Bang Theory is a horrible, non-funny show, for example.

If you're looking for something to turn your mind off on, sitcoms are your thing. Granted, it isn't the best time-spender - the haled video games at least take hand-eye coordination or other skills - but if you can not afford giving another thing any more thought because you're drained, they're great.

I once spent a whole day, from 4 AM to 6 PM, walking through a big city I particularly like, just taking everything in. By the end of the day, waiting for the bus back home, I just sat in front of the bus station TV and watched a family-oriented silly sitcom I wouldn't otherwise even consider. At that moment, the jokes were pretty damn funny and the humour seemed quite reasonable. I spent the next hour and a half glued to the screen and left satisfied.

Watch Louis CK's new sitcom (Horace and Pete). You might like it.

Never heard of it, thanks for mentioning it ! I will give it a try.

There are some good sitcoms. I personally really liked Arrested Development and Louie.
