Recently I binge watched Abbot Elementary, and I couldn’t get enough of it, watched the British version of ghosts and it was quite good too.

I have tried “what we do in the shadows” and it wasn’t to my liking.

What are your suggestions about a light comedy series of the same genre ?

Superstore is a good comedy/satire about people working at a Walmart-type store.

As someone on the spectrum that lives by his binges of situational comedy shows, allow me to give you my list I rotate through, in no specific order:

• How I Met Your Mother

• Scrubs

• Parks and Recreation

• Brooklyn 99

• 30 Rock

• Community

• New Girl

• The Office

• The Good Place

Some of these I will watch for months before moving on to another. If you have questions about any in particular, feel free to ask.

The Good Place is the best thing humanity has done.

It’s a different feel, but not completely, from HIMYM, but How I Met Your Father isn’t bad either, and Hillary Duff is really enjoyable in that role.

I don’t know how many executives Michael Schur had to hogtie, to not only get this show made and bring it to a conclusion, but he will forever have my gratitude.

It’s wild how many things other shows would make a whole season out of that they burned in half an episode.

… tbh, I was surprised when I found out that Blake Bortles is real.

Also: yay, taking moral philosophy halfway seriously!

Yeah, every one of those shows serve a different purpose and fills a niche for me. Different moods for each show and they’re all equally amazing. Some are better character stories, some are better comedy writing, and some are just silly. Whatever your mood, I’d you’re wanting comedy, it’s all found here.

Your list is missing Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I love all of those shows, but Iasip is at the top.

Not sure about what constitutes a light comedy, but The Righteous Gemstones is a fantastic show I just got turned onto a few months ago. Good news is it just wrapped up season 3, so there’s plenty to watch.

Hi, I watched about 3 episodes, and the show was okay. Not something I would call light comedy. as I like to have not too much drama in a show. I like to have as little comedy based on sex tropes and scandals as possible. that’s why I liked abott elementary more. but I might come back to it another time.

I binge watched “The good place” that others suggested here and it was pretty good and it had a few clever twists in it too.

Crazy that there’s so few comments on this thread and someone already took my suggestion lol. Gotta give a +1 for gemstones. Found out about it a couple of weeks ago and binged all 3 seasons. What’s nice about this show too is that each season feels complete with no cliffhangers. Gives a good stopping point if you need a break.

Another show we’ve been watching is Miracle Workers. Loved the first season but it kinda tampers off in season 3 for me

Agreed on how they end the seasons. Season threes ending however was so perfect I’m almost afraid season 4 will ruin it.
