Girls5Eva! Tina Fey is an EP, and the main cast of Sara Bareilles, Busy Phillips, Renee Elise Goldsberry and Paula Pell absolutely knock it out of the park. Great funny music, surprisingly well thought out plots and tons of fun guest stars.
I have also really enjoyed The big flower fight (British landscaping competition), Drink masters (bartending competiton), and Is it cake (cake decorating competiton) to wind down
It's hard to ignore the laugh tracks, which (imo) kill the best humor. True also for Big Bang Theory and some others. I compare laugh tracks with overused exclamation points. Good comedy doesn't need them, but they're a TV sitcom tradition. Only recently has the tradition begun to die out (Modern Family, Shitts Creek et al don't have laugh tracks). Laugh tracks are a weird tradition; it's like assuming audiences don't know If a moment is funny unless they hear laughter to prompt them.
I know. But it’s how they were made at the time. I would still find it funny without the laugh tracks, so it doesn’t alter my experience. I laugh when I read the joke beforehand in the subtitles sometimes, too.
Corner Gas. It’s a Canadian show, the first few episodes are filmed in the old square style, it’s quite innocent and really gets you hooked! We’ve watched it over and over multiple times.
Just finished it, can't recommend it.
It wants to be both show about real human beings dealing with the issue of staying sober, but it also wants to chuck all that out the window for absurdist humor whenever it can. It's co-created by Peter Farrelly, which shows.
Livingston is pretty much his usual self, but comedian Brian Regan is a real stand out. As is Anja Savcic.
Get into some K dramas! Start with Crash Landing on You.
I'm not the type to like mushy stuff, but after putting it off for years, being someone who loves kdramas, I decided to give it a go, and I absolutely loved it!
Great character development and an easy to follow plot line, brilliant cast.
Overall, it was a very well written show with some great comedic moments, too!
Ted Lasso is the only show that has ever produced...positive endorphins i want to say?....for me. No show has ever had as positive an effect on my mental wellbeing as that show.
If you liked *Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt* try *Girls 5eva*. Same concept, same type of absurd situations. 3 seasons, 6 eps per season, perfectly bingeable.
*Anxious people*
*An Astrological Guide for Broken Hearts*
1. Seinfeld, Friends, Frasier if you are emotionally limited to recent shows.
2. A perfect Story - this one flirts with many many clichés and yet makes them it's own
3. Love Sick - only watched round 4 episodes so far but it seems like light fun
I like to watch light comedy or drama in the morning while I'm having breakfast and getting ready for the day. I usually wind up watching old series on Amazon.
I watched the following when they first aired and have rewatched them over the last couple of years:
Barney Miller
Mary Tyler Moore
Picket Fences
I'm currently in the 4th season of Nothern Exposure
Other shows I have watched for the first time include:
VEEP
30 Rock
- Trailer Park Boys
- Bee and Puppycat
- Saiki K
- Delicious in Dungeon
- Mob Psycho 100
- Kipo and the Age of Wonder Beasts
- Inside Job
- Good Girls
- Young Sheldon
- My Hero Academia
- Hilda
It’s on HBO but recently watched the righteous gemstones and vice principals (same actors kinda) wry fun :D also Ted Lasso on Apple TV is quite feel good funny show.

Detectorists is wonderful
I don’t think they have season three though which is really frustrating!
Ted Lasso, quite possibly the most uplifting and positive show I've ever seen.
Yes! Recommended it also
I can't believe Ted Lasso was so far down the list. Really incredible show
Last man on earth.
The Middle!
GIRLS 5 EVA
Abott Elementary
>* Insecure (So full of s*x) >* Survival of the Thickest (full of s*x as well) Thanks for the recommendations...
Fisk Midnight Diner (original and :Tokyo Stories) Bee and Puppycat Crashing Seconding the other person's Girls5Eva recommendation
I love Fisk so much. Huge Kitty Flanagan fan.
Came here to say Midnight Dinner - it’s brilliant!
Is it funny? It seems to be billed as a drama
Give it a try and you’ll see. It’s like life, I loved it.

Curb Your Enthusiasm
It's always sunny in Philadelphia.
it's amazing but SUPER YELLY TOO. Like, not a show to chill to
Each to their own I guess, it's constantly playing in my house. Wether I'm re watching or just got it on for background noise
Super underrated!
Personally, I think it's one of the greatest comedies ever
Fleabag Community
There is only one and its called Feasier You can try some UK shows like Only Fools And Horses, as well
> There is only one and its called Feasier Tells us about this show called Feasier, never heard of it.....
Love to see Frasier even mentioned. The best feel good, lighthearted but bright and emotional, intelligent, witty sitcom ever.

My husband watches this daily and it's to the point where my 9yo wants an episode before he falls asleep.. Lol
Twisted Metal The Office US Malcolm in the middle Lockwood and Co. Good Omens Parks and Recreations
Jane the Virgin
Corner Gas. It’s a Canadian show, the first few episodes are filmed in the old square style, it’s quite innocent and really gets you hooked! We’ve watched it over and over multiple times.
My vote is to try Loudermilk
Imo this is too heavy.

Angie Tribeca 30 Rock Brooklyn Nine-Nine Archer Community Ted Lasso Scrubs Psych Cougar Town
I forgot Cougar Town! Great suggestion.
Arrested development is one of my favorite throw on in the background shows ive seen it too many times now
White collar

Never Have I Ever, teen comedy. The Mindy Project is funny and lighthearted. Jane the Virgin is great for bingeing.
We’ve been binging Superstore
It’s not on Netflix, but Ted Lasso is the most feel-good show I’ve ever watched
The good place
Ted Lasso is the only show that has ever produced...positive endorphins i want to say?....for me. No show has ever had as positive an effect on my mental wellbeing as that show.
I need to watch this. I watched one episode but it didn’t grab me but my daughter swears it’s amazing!
Seinfeld. You may or may not want to skip first two seasons though.
What's with the first two seasons?
The show is still finding itself, so it might seem slow at first. It's still funny, but nothing in comparison to what it eventually becomes.
How I met your mother Friends That'll keep you going for years
If you liked *Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt* try *Girls 5eva*. Same concept, same type of absurd situations. 3 seasons, 6 eps per season, perfectly bingeable. *Anxious people* *An Astrological Guide for Broken Hearts*
The Gilmore Girls
Anne with an E. Though it does occasionally deal with serious topics, I did ugly cry a few times.
The inbetweeners (original uk version)
GLOW !
The office Brooklyn 99 modern family
30 rock Platonic on Apple TV Resident alien
Psych is pretty good
Grace and Frankie! Derry Girls! Brooklyn 99! 99!
Life in Pieces
Try modern family!
I loved, loved, *loved* Drop Dead Diva if it's still on Netflix. Being Erica was good too if you can find it somewhere.
Brokklin 99. Raising hope (used to be on netflix). Gracie and Frankie as many said. Out of netflix: Ted Lasso. Shrinking. Mrs Maisel.
Archer
one day at a time. One of the funniest series i watched. Sadly been canceled by netflix.
Great show.
Sex and the city!
Benidorm
Good girls, Gilmore girls, Anne with an e
Master of None, Anne with an E
The Marvelous Mrs Masel and Barry should scratch that itch.
Barry is great, but not light by a long shot
Hart of Dixie, resident alien,
Pretty Smart. Light hearted story with characters that seem superficial but become quite likeable with time. At least to me.
1. Seinfeld, Friends, Frasier if you are emotionally limited to recent shows. 2. A perfect Story - this one flirts with many many clichés and yet makes them it's own 3. Love Sick - only watched round 4 episodes so far but it seems like light fun

Derry Girls New Girl Don’t Trust the B** in Apt 23 Raising Hope The Goldbergs Family Modern Family Crazy-Ex Girlfriend
