This is a column for people who don't like CBS sitcoms. Because it's about CBS sitcoms.

Now, if you fall into this camp and, by the way, just happen to like comedies on television, odds are you're watching all the really funny ones on NBC. They're not the highest rated. But they get the most acclaim.
But are the people who love, say, "30 Rock" - the best sitcom on network television - or "The Office" or "My Name Is Earl" or even the elder statesman of praised-but-not-watched television, "Scrubs," denying themselves a good time by avoiding CBS on Monday nights?
Yes. Well, a qualified yes.

There's a perfectly understandable reason that people who like a certain kind of comedy - often dry, ironic, slightly bitter, tangentially odd and brilliantly creative - will avoid comedies on CBS.

They're too cool for the room.
