Married couples have been the foundation of sitcoms since the dawn of TV. Here's a list of the most entertaining sitcom marriages.
HBO's second new female-fronted comedy of the month debuts tonight at 10 p.m. EST. Veep stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus as the first female vice president of the United States, who tries to pursue her agenda from an ineffectual position. The show is amusing, but is it an effective political satire? Read more in my review of the show.

Indie-film sensation Lena Dunham (Tiny Furniture) comes to HBO tonight with the premiere of her new show Girls, produced by Judd Apatow. Does the show live up to the hype that the young, inexperienced Dunham has been generating? Read my review to find out more.

Fox issued renewals today for comedies New Girl and Raising Hope, picking up the shows for their second and third seasons, respectively. The network has had a tough time with comedy in recent years, but New Girl has been one of the most popular new shows this season, and pairing the comedies with the waning but still strong ratings giant Glee (which also got a renewal) has helped bolster their audiences.
The announcement doesn't bode well for fellow Fox comedies Breaking In (which barely managed a second season after initially being canceled) and I Hate My Teenage Daughter (which has been pulled from the schedule, with remaining episodes to be burned off over the summer). Word on those probably won't come until the network's fall-schedule announcement next month.
