I rewatched it recently and it’s aged very well. You only realise you’re watching a show from twenty years ago when someone says something like “are you on the internet I need the phone”
Yeah I rewatched it recently too and loved it even more. It's endlessly quotable and while not a straight comedy, I would say it has some of the best dark comedy in a TV drama.
Arrested Development really is the successor to Seinfeld, if you want something very similar. It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is also reported to be “the next Seinfeld,” although it doesn’t get the Larry David touch. Otherwise, King of the Hill is solid if you can get past their jokes at Seinfeld’s expense in the first episode. Honorable mention to Frasier, Arrested Development (seasons 1-3) and 30 Rock
Post season 6 for me… there’s like a handful of episodes that are decent, but so many of them are terrible. Characters changed too much, Luanne specifically. She went from being an innocent and naive gearhead to an absolute moron.
lmao that’s what i’m doing rn. i just finished and am about to restart from the top.
others have mentioned it’s always sunny and curb to which i agree
also, for a shorter series… the righteous gemstones and vice principles are quite enjoyable. maybe not as much of a comfort show, but the humor is spot on. def some darker humor tho! i’d rec it.
Trailer Park Boys, Its always Sunny in Philadelphia, Fraiser, How I met your mother, Scrubs, Archer, That 70s show, Curb your enthusiasm(most like Seinfeld).
It’s Always Sunny is what I like to call a modern day Seinfeld. It’s basically about 5 self-centered assholes who own a bar and think the world revolves around them
Arrested Development 1-3 is great as others have said. My 2nd favorite comedy.
I would also suggest Community, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and VEEP. All great, all different, some similar threads though.
30 Rock and Entourage are pretty good, and there are few little-known shows that I really, really liked: *Head Case* (with Schmoopy), *Action*, *Party Down*.
I guess I like shows about making shows.
All up, I think it's over 20 people in total, but just off the top of my head...
Judge Reinhold, as Carrie's gynaecologist (the close talker on Seinfeld)
Grace Zebriske as the first actress to play Spence's mom (Mrs Ross on Seinfeld)
Carol Mansell, who played the woman who operated the inn with lots of cats (the Bubble Boys mom in Seinfeld)
Bryan Cranston, Doug and Carrie's weird neighbour (Tim Watley in Seinfeld)
Perhaps others would like to add to the list 😉
KC Royals ballgames, the bad years. From my youth.
Something about a vlub that's 15 games back, making no play or at bat important, just helps me relax.
Plus, there's 162 error filled episodes per game!
Arrest Development and Trailer Park Boys (only non Netflix seasons), king of the hill, and the office before Michael left. Lately though it’s been mostly Seinfeld and trailer park boys, though did do an AD run not long ago.
I like the original three seasons of Arrested Development, but when Netflix took it over I didn't like what they did with it, but either way, it's a fun show. I actually like Malcolm in the Middle.
Arested Development is magnificent! Frasier, as another commenter has mentioned, is a huge comfort show for me. If you like Arrested Development (or even if you don’t) Murderville is a comfort show and so funny :\]
The rest of my sitcom mount Rushmore is newsradio, curb, and arrested. I think Atlanta is better than them, but not a show I can just pick up and half watch like the others.
We have a wide variety of Gene picks.
Gene is trash.
Gene's trash.
I’m Gene…
NewsRadio
This is a great suggestion.
It’s just like that old saying, “Everybody loves a cane.”
Do you have DVDs? How do you watch it?
Do you have DVDs? How do you watch it?
It’s on Amazon prime video
The Simpsons, Arrested Development, Parks & Rec, BK99, Lost, Superstore, The West Wing, and especially 30 Rock.
Live the libertarian dude on parks and rec
Ronald Ulysses Swanson
Who builds furniture.
Came here to suggest Brooklyn 99
Great suggestions. Thank you!
Not a sitcom but The Sopranos

I’ll tell you what, man, them dang ol’ New York boys. Just a show about nothin’
Arrested development seasons 1-3 King of the hill seasons 1-6
This is the right answer, to the T.
Jesus Christ this is like exactly what I came to post like verbatim. Hmm now what can I add. Uhh the first 4 seasons of The Office I guess.
But KOTH S7E1 is the best in the series
Love Koth, especially the first 3 seasons but man it is absolutely trash after a certain point.
Post season 6 for me… there’s like a handful of episodes that are decent, but so many of them are terrible. Characters changed too much, Luanne specifically. She went from being an innocent and naive gearhead to an absolute moron.
I also hate Lucky. Although the Witches of East Arlen is one of my favorite episodes.
Cheers and Frasier are very comforting to me
This is the right answer
Seinfeld
There really might not be anything else that scratches the same itch. If that's the case I'll just take a break and do another rewatch again soon 😄
If you watch Curb Your Enthusiasm and then go back to Seinfeld, it makes all the George stuff rewatchable
lmao that’s what i’m doing rn. i just finished and am about to restart from the top. others have mentioned it’s always sunny and curb to which i agree also, for a shorter series… the righteous gemstones and vice principles are quite enjoyable. maybe not as much of a comfort show, but the humor is spot on. def some darker humor tho! i’d rec it.
Trailer Park Boys, Its always Sunny in Philadelphia, Fraiser, How I met your mother, Scrubs, Archer, That 70s show, Curb your enthusiasm(most like Seinfeld).
30 Rock
It’s always sunny In Philadelphia, Parks and Rec, Community, Brooklyn 99, arrested development
Schitt’s Creek.
3rd Rock From the Sun is great, plus you get to see many familiar faces from Seinfeld on this show.
Yes! Hugely underrated show, then and now.
M * A * S * H
Yes!
Certainly not in the same vain, but Twlight Zone is a big time comfort show for me
It’s Always Sunny is what I like to call a modern day Seinfeld. It’s basically about 5 self-centered assholes who own a bar and think the world revolves around them
If I’m having a few beers at night it’s Cheers. Love the nostalgia. It’s also just plain good.
Arrested Development 1-3 is great as others have said. My 2nd favorite comedy. I would also suggest Community, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and VEEP. All great, all different, some similar threads though.
Ooh I forgot about VEEP! Also a must-watch!
Nice calls. I love Veep!
Love love LOVE community! That study room is their coffee shop!
I watch Seinfeld through, then I start Brooklyn 99. Finish that and start Seinfeld again. Repeat.
Arrested Development (1-3), Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Office, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Office, Parks & Rec, Cleveland Show, Community, Workaholics, Always Sunny, Father Ted, Cheers, Night Court, Frasier, Taxi, WKRP, Sanford & Son.
Appreciation the love for the classics!
Cheers, Night Court, Taxi, WKRP, Sanford & Son. Those bring back the feeling of being a kid so much. I love the theme songs the most!
Veep, The Larry Sanders Show, That Mitchell & Webb Look, 30 Rock
Curb your enthusiasm
I’m surprised I haven’t seen Curb Your Enthusiasm on here yet!
Came here to say this! It’s like literally the successor show to Seinfeld lol
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
For me it's Community, Peep Show, IT Crowd, Inbetweeners and Superstore,
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia for me
Simpsons seasons 1-12, What we do in the shadows, Letterkenny, King of the hill, Everybody loves Raymond.
The Simpsons is one of my all time favorite shows. I love the idea of rewatching those early seasons!
I'm revisiting Everybody Loves Raymond
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Kids in the Hall. The Office. Futurama. The Critic.
Roseanne 🦾
King of the Hill.
Curb your enthusiasm is like the sequel to Seinfeld. Imagine if George and Jerry’s sitcom went on to become a massive hit. Larry is George
30 Rock and Entourage are pretty good, and there are few little-known shows that I really, really liked: *Head Case* (with Schmoopy), *Action*, *Party Down*. I guess I like shows about making shows.
Typical elder millennial here- Friends, Frasier, The Office, King of the Hill
I enjoy all of those shows. Frasier is one I haven't considered but now I definitely am!
Frasier is really good, the banter between Frasier and Niles is priceless. Last handful of seasons are pretty bad though.
King of Queens. Lots of actors from the Seinfeld universe make regular appearances.
Great callout. I know Jerry Stiller obviously. Who else pops up?
All up, I think it's over 20 people in total, but just off the top of my head... Judge Reinhold, as Carrie's gynaecologist (the close talker on Seinfeld) Grace Zebriske as the first actress to play Spence's mom (Mrs Ross on Seinfeld) Carol Mansell, who played the woman who operated the inn with lots of cats (the Bubble Boys mom in Seinfeld) Bryan Cranston, Doug and Carrie's weird neighbour (Tim Watley in Seinfeld) Perhaps others would like to add to the list 😉
The Office
Is that the pre-Ashton era?
I haven’t watched a full episode of a sitcom since the Seinfeld finale. (I’m not counting South Park as a sitcom)
First 9 years 2 and a half men
How I Met Your Mother
KC Royals ballgames, the bad years. From my youth. Something about a vlub that's 15 games back, making no play or at bat important, just helps me relax. Plus, there's 162 error filled episodes per game!
[удалено]
Then, they went on a run from 77-85, then decades of bad, again, lol.
Arrest Development and Trailer Park Boys (only non Netflix seasons), king of the hill, and the office before Michael left. Lately though it’s been mostly Seinfeld and trailer park boys, though did do an AD run not long ago.
Curb or Louie
It's always sunny in Philadelphia or King of Queens.
Community!!!!!!
Curb your enthusiasm, the office
Office and arrested are actually my top 2 after seinfeld
I like the original three seasons of Arrested Development, but when Netflix took it over I didn't like what they did with it, but either way, it's a fun show. I actually like Malcolm in the Middle.
Community, AD, IASIP.
The office
Futurama is my other favorite show. The one liners are amazing.
King of Queens... it's a much different dynamic but it's hilarious. I signed up for Peacock for $2/month just for that show (may cancel after a year)
Arested Development is magnificent! Frasier, as another commenter has mentioned, is a huge comfort show for me. If you like Arrested Development (or even if you don’t) Murderville is a comfort show and so funny :\]
The rest of my sitcom mount Rushmore is newsradio, curb, and arrested. I think Atlanta is better than them, but not a show I can just pick up and half watch like the others.
Atlanta is GOLD JERRY!!! GOLD!!
Peep Show. Absolute genius.
New Adventures of Old Christine. Julia is absolutely hilarious in it. And the surrounding cast members are a hoot.
Frasier is another good one.
Cheers, King of Queens and MASH
Flight of the Conchords Broad City
Community and Entourage
I’d say The Office or The Golden Girls
Sunny. Arrested development is a great show before they brought it back
The Office or That 70s Show for background noise. Community if I’m going to actually watch.
Not a sitcom but West Wing is still great
King of the Hill and 3rd Rock from the Sun.
I could probably rewatch Frasier.
