10. Raising Hope (Fox)

Often overlooked, this underrated comedy is consistent from week to week, and it involves Cloris Leachman. Always a winning combination.

9.Happy Endings (ABC)

It almost didn't survive past a first season, but now in its Sophomore year, Happy Endings is the buzziest comedy on television. In fact, it made most people's list of Top 10 comedies of 2011.

8. 2 Broke Girls (CBS)

Only two freshman comedies made the top 10 list, and we're not surprised that one of them is this CBS comedy revolving around the unlikely friendship between tough-girl Max and spoiled princess-turned-commoner Caroline.

7. Parks and Recreation (NBC)

The Golden Globes may not recognize the brilliance of Parks and Rec, but you guys sure do. Thank you for voting Ron Swanson's crew into the top 10!

6. Glee (Fox)

Glee fans are some of the most passionate around, that much we know. And even though most would say that it's not as good as it used to be, Gleeks were able to get their beloved musical-comedy onto our list.

FOX

5. New Girl (Fox)

It was our favorite new series of the fall, and how can you not love the friendship-but-should-be-more between Nick and Jess?

4. Modern Family (ABC)

Beloved by critics, fans and every award organization out there, Modern Family hasn't lost any of its comedic steam since premiering in 2009.

3. Big Bang Theory (CBS)

When someone like Jim Parsons is manning the ship, how can you not tune in every week? And when the supporting cast is equally amazing…well, let's just say BBT is here to stay.

2. How I Met Your Mother (CBS)

HIMYM: a legen…wait for it…dary comedy that we're obsessed with and will watch until we meet the mother! Or at least until Robin and Barney get together for good.

1. Community, NBC

NBC may shelve it and the Golden Globes may not recognize it, but you all made damn sure that Community won the top slot by a huge margin. Go Human Beings!
