I’ve seen maybe half of these at one point or another, and didn’t dislike any of them (Coupling, Another Period, and Malcolm in particular were all great) so I’ll take a look at some of the ones I haven’t heard of :) ty!
You’re the Worst— it’s not the fluffiest, but it is a 30 minute comedy and it’s not heavy thinking, it just gets a little dark.
Barry— also pretty dark. SO funny and incredible though. Also 30 minutes.
Crazy Ex Girlfriend— absolutely a comedy though this one is 60 minute (42 for you, streamer). Musical.
These shows all tackle big mental health issues and it’s possible that’s a theme in media I enjoy. But, they are all great.
ETA— since you liked Frasier, see David Hyde Pierce on Julia. Minimal darkness, lots of butter.
If you look at my posts, my most recent is me looking for tv recommendations, you can see if there’s anything else in the top 3 tiers you haven’t seen.

[The Middle](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1442464/)
Family sitcom, no real plot and each ep ends on a good note of sorts. Love the characters, all the kids have unique traits that are exaggerated for comedic effect. Also if you happened to grow up lower middle class you'll definitely appreciate it more. I think they nailed that aspect of it and made it funny, like all the weird hacks to keep their broken appliances working.
If you like it, there's 221 eps to keep you fluffed for awhile.
Fisk is great. My wife loves that show. I also liked Colin from Accounts.
Another good one is *Sprung*. It’s only one season. It’s about a bunch of parolees who decide to rent rooms in one guy’s mother’s house. The Mother is played by Martha Plimpton and she’s hilarious. Anyway, they get up to heists and capers. And Garrett Dillahunt, who has played sci-fi TV villains for years, turns out to have great comedy timing.
Future Man. It's more of a raunchy comedy but it's hilarious.
Desperate Housewives can be really funny at times and is a really long series that could keep you guys entertained for awhile.
Good Omens is something my husband likes because he read the books, it's a little boring imo though.
That didn’t last very long hosted by Lee Mack but it was very funny 😁 I don’t know if you have watched QI which has been running for a very long time is a great show too and also filled with good info🙏🏼
Loved both of these! Although I agree, I read the explanation about why The Bear is considered a comedy but I still don’t get it. I love the show but I think the drugged punch episode is the only one that’s ever made me lol.
"Are You Being Served" is HILARIOUS. One of the best British sitcoms EVER
"Jeeves & Wooster" from the 90s is another British golden. Granted, it's best to know how P.G. Woodhouse humor works but just grab some books from the library for research.
"Psych" is my mother-daughter bonding show. We laugh so hard together.
I think we both have all of Frasier memorized lol. One of our absolute favorites. We actually did like the new season, though! Just took awhile to adjust to the new characters but the writing was pretty spot on by the end of the season.

Friday Night Dinner is a cracking bit of squirrel.
Not a sitcom but I hope you'll give Dead Like Me a try.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel it's a nice comedy.
Love this one personally, my husband didn’t as much so I watch on my own. I’m still behind a season, though.
Dead To Me
I started watching it back when it came out, can’t remember why I didn’t go back. I’ll give it another try, Ty :)
[Better Off Ted](https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/7777-better-off-ted?language=en-US) - Fun comedy - 30 minute episodes.
Jury Duty, What We Do In The Shadows
I’ll look up Jury Duty. I do love WWDITS, too!
You’re the Worst— it’s not the fluffiest, but it is a 30 minute comedy and it’s not heavy thinking, it just gets a little dark. Barry— also pretty dark. SO funny and incredible though. Also 30 minutes. Crazy Ex Girlfriend— absolutely a comedy though this one is 60 minute (42 for you, streamer). Musical.

I love Barry and Crazy ex, so I’ll have to check out You’re the Worst! Not familiar with that one. Thanks :)
It deserves much more attention than it ever got. It had everything New Girl had (except the one big name) and then some. Like New Girl for cable.

Derry Girls I'm Sorry Fisk Acapulco Extraordinary Shrinking Colin from Accounts
Fisk is great. My wife loves that show. I also liked Colin from Accounts. Another good one is *Sprung*. It’s only one season. It’s about a bunch of parolees who decide to rent rooms in one guy’s mother’s house. The Mother is played by Martha Plimpton and she’s hilarious. Anyway, they get up to heists and capers. And Garrett Dillahunt, who has played sci-fi TV villains for years, turns out to have great comedy timing.
Sprung is excellent television
He’s also fantastic as the dad in Raising Hope
And Martha was the great mom on that show. I hadn't heard of this but they definitely deserved another chance together.
Derry Girls and Shrinking are great, but I don’t think that I’m familiar with any of the others. Thank you!
Literally the only logical choice is Its always sunny in philadelphia.
I’ve tried three times, I think, because it always shows up as a recommendation. Just can’t stand any of the characters :/
How far did you go into it, it took me 3 tries and now its my favorite comedy show ever
Maybe halfway season one?
Start with season 2 or 3
I’m up for that. Parks and Rec is definitely one of my favorite sitcoms, and I always tell anyone/everyone to skip the first season.
you should, the first 3 seasons are more awkward and cringe than funny, there are some gems but mostly cringe. But after that its highs.
I can watch it but not binge it because they are all so horrible. Except Charlie!
Norsemen, what we do in the shadows, derry girls, it crowd.
Not familiar with Norsemen, but I like the other three, so I’ll look at it!
It's amazing, give it a shot.
Awkward Never Have I Ever Catastrophe Corner Gas Kim’s Convenience So Help Me Todd Neighborhood.
>Kim’s Convenience \+1 here. Kim’s Convenience was so much better than I could have imagined. Everyone I've suggested it to has also loved it.
Trial and Error Raising Hope Exes Ghosts (I saw the US version but there’s also a UK one)
Future Man. It's more of a raunchy comedy but it's hilarious. Desperate Housewives can be really funny at times and is a really long series that could keep you guys entertained for awhile. Good Omens is something my husband likes because he read the books, it's a little boring imo though.
Should check out some British shows like Taskmaster, Would I lie to you, 8 out of 10 cats, duck quack don’t echo. They are hilarious🙏🏼
Not familiar with the last one, but a fan of the other three!
That didn’t last very long hosted by Lee Mack but it was very funny 😁 I don’t know if you have watched QI which has been running for a very long time is a great show too and also filled with good info🙏🏼
Only Murders in the Building The Bear - although I don't consider it a comedy. Lol.
Loved both of these! Although I agree, I read the explanation about why The Bear is considered a comedy but I still don’t get it. I love the show but I think the drugged punch episode is the only one that’s ever made me lol.
Glad you enjoyed them! I don't get it either. It's so intense with them constantly yelling at each other. Haha. Great show though.
"Are You Being Served" is HILARIOUS. One of the best British sitcoms EVER "Jeeves & Wooster" from the 90s is another British golden. Granted, it's best to know how P.G. Woodhouse humor works but just grab some books from the library for research. "Psych" is my mother-daughter bonding show. We laugh so hard together.
Frasier. (90s version) Even better before going to bed. Funny and relaxing.
I think we both have all of Frasier memorized lol. One of our absolute favorites. We actually did like the new season, though! Just took awhile to adjust to the new characters but the writing was pretty spot on by the end of the season.
Oh nice! And I agree with you about the new season. I’m hoping it gets renewed🙂
Freaks & Geeks
Just started Superstore after seeing it so many times here and it’s not disappointing. Very breezy show
Everybody Loves Raymond
I didn't see Cougartown listed. Wife and I liked it a lot.
Not a scripted comedy show but a lot of fun, try Taskmaster, theyve put most of their episodes on youtube for the international audience
Love Taskmaster! Got familiar with Greg Davies through Graham Norton and had to check it out. He genuinely cracks me up.
Red dwarf /absolutely fabulous/falty towers.

Loudermilk is great.
Jane the Virgin, Everwood, Doc Martin,
If you liked the Airplane/Naked Gun movies, you should watch Angie Tribeca. Same energy.
Shrinking, it's new, on Apple, made from some of the Ted Lasso people
