Tired of monotonous homework already? You'll finally be able to find a bit of comedic relief during the week in TV's best comedies, which have returned from their seasonal break for the second half of their seasons.
Psych
If you like comedy and crime shows, USA Network's Psych is the show for you. No bromance is sweeter than that of Shawn (James Roday) and Gus (Dulé Hill), the crime fighting fake psychic and his loyal sidekick. The hilarious shenanigans that Shawn and Gus experience – posing as male models, bounty hunters, football players and other ridiculous antics – make the show the best show on television, in my humble opinion.
But it's the storylines, especially the love story between Shawn and detective Juliet O'Hara (Maggie Lawson), that keep people watching. At the end of the first half of their sixth season, Shawn and Juliet go on a couple's retreat where they get conned and burglarized.
After going on an absurd journey to get their belongings back, Gus finds that Shawn has bought an engagement ring for Juliet. Will Shawn and Gus' friendship be jeopardized by the relationship between Shawn and Juliet? Will Shawn have to pick between his best friend and his girlfriend? Thankfully, viewers will find out when Psych returns for the second half of its sixth season Wednesday at 10 p.m. on USA Network.
Modern Family
Golden Globe winner Modern Family on ABC has always featured an excellent blend of awesomeness and awkwardness. So it's no surprise that, in its third season, Modern Family is experiencing new heights.
In the mockumentary's most recent episode, "Little Bo Bleep," couple Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and Cam (Eric Stonestreet) try to deal with daughter, Lily, learning a swear word, while the Dunphy family tries to prepare Claire (Julie Bowen) for a debate in her campaign for Councilwoman.
Of course, nothing goes as planned; Lily drops the "f-bomb" in the middle of a wedding service and Phil (Ty Burrell) recounts a questionable event in his life in the middle of Claire's debate. Catch Modern Family Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on ABC.
The Office
NBC's The Office has gone through some rough patches in the past, none more depressing than the loss of Steve Carell as Dunder Mifflin manager Michael Scott. Near the end of season 7, Michael left the Scranton branch to move in with his fiancée, Holly in Colorado, so the office had to hire a new manager.
The addition of some big-name comedic actors, Will Ferrell, Jim Carrey, James Spader, was thought to save the show after the iconic character left, but it didn't. The Office hiccupped after that, until the middle of season eight with "Pam's Replacement," the gut-busting episode in which Dwight (Rainn Wilson) and Pam (Jenna Fischer) unite to prove that Jim (John Krasinski) is attracted to Pam's maternity leave replacement, Cathy.
After that episode, the show picked up its stride and produced hysterical episodes steadily. Make sure to watch The Office Thursdays at 9 p.m. on NBC.
New Girl
With all of the great veteran shows on TV, it's easy to forget about all of the promising new shows. NBC's Golden Globe-nominated show New Girl, starring Golden Globe-nominated sweetheart Zooey Deschanel as the incredibly awkward Jess, is definitely one to catch.
When Jess has her heart broken by her boyfriend, she moves in with three guys: Schmidt (Max Greenfield), Nick (Jake Johnson) and Winston (Lamorne Morris). Jess's roommates help her mend her heart and get back into the dating game, while she helps them open up and embrace fun in their lives.
While Jess's awkwardness almost reaches absurdity, the relationship between her and her roommates makes it well worth watching. And the possible romance budding between Jess and Nick? It's enough to make your heart melt. Fox's New Girl airs on Tuesdays at 9 p.m.
