Go On, Cougar Town, Episodes or Web Therapy?

So, given that 4 of our FRIENDS have their own TV Shows at the moment, which one do you think shows more promise?

I am following Go On and Episodes.
I have seen 2 seasons of Cougar Town and 1 episode of Web Therapy to familiarize myself with it.

However, my money is on Episodes, it has some great writing and Matt LeBlanc is awesome in it.
Which one do you think has the most potential?

Episodes is way superior.

I like Go On, Web Therapy is okay, can't stand Cougar Town.

I agree. Episodes is in a different category so to speak, partly because it's Showtime/BBC, so they don't have to be as vanilla and traditional as the ones on networks.

I'm not entirely sure which I like best of Go On and Web Therapy. The latter is very, very funny when it works, but can be a little bit repetetive and it's quite a drag when it doesn't work since you're stuck with one perspective and the same (usually) two characters for most of each episode. I like Go On, but it's probably never going to be one of my absolute favorites. Although it has some untraditional theme elements, in a way it's too much of a traditional sitcom in form. I'm pretty sure if they'd put it on HBO, Showtime or some such, and could be a bit more irreverent, it would be much better.

I must say that I haven't seen Cougar Town more than a few minutes here and there, so I'll admit the possibility that it could be better than I think. It just doesn't seem to be the kind of show to appeal to me at all.

Episodes is my personal favorite, and then Web Therapy is great at times. Go on was also ok at times. But apparently Cougar Town is the most popular with the audience, though I couldn't survive through its tired cliches for longer than few episodes in season one, so I wouldn't know why.

Episodes is the only series I can't say anything about, as I've never seen it.

Cougar Town-I liked in the first season---it started to lose its freshness, quality, and originality after that, even towards the end of that first season. And, then it seemed as if it were trying way too hard to be....something, that I'm not sure was ever established, especially when they changed directions....

Web Therapy-Now this series is hilarious and original! It is also a series completely with current times without shoving it down your throat, or trying too hard. Web Therapy is such a simple premise, but doesn't dumb or talk down to its audience, or whomever. Lisa Kudrow is one incredibly talented, genius actress with great range in both comedy and drama. She is capable of putting herself into any role, making you forget about any previous ones.

Go On-This series is a good one. Very solid. Simple. I genuinely enjoy, and look forward to it each week. It has heart. It has comedy. It has wonderful, rounded, quirky, fulfilling characters to root for. Matthew Perry is a great, talented actor at the series lead. Not going to lie, I love seeing him on TV again, or really just in another role. He manages to blend in well with the supporting cast----actually, I'd say Go On is very much an ensemble show. Is there going to be a second season? Anyone know? I hope there will be.

F.Y.I, you want to see Matthew Perry completely absorb into, and take on another character, check out his recurring role on The Good Wife. I really do not like his character, and I don't, not want to like him.
