I just really love comedy. I mainly watch television to laugh.
My favorite comedies are the single camera sitcoms of the 2000’s and 2010’s, in this order:
Arrested Development
30 Rock
It’s Always Sunny
The Office
Community
Brooklyn Nine Nine
Parks and Rec
Veep
Silicon Valley
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Seinfeld (not single camera but still great)
Abbott Elementary is climbing the list for me, too
I also love the weirder stuff:
All the Nathan Fielder produced stuff that is kinda unscripted (Nathan for You, The Rehearsal, How To With John Wilson)
Review (the Andy Daly one, never saw the original Australian one)
All the Tim Robinson absurdity: I Think You Should Leave, Detroiters, The Chair Company (Friendship if we’re counting movies).
Broad City isn’t quite as absurd as some of the others, but it was the right kind of quirky.
Adult Swim animation, including the early low budget shows like Sealab and Aqua Teen, through Frisky Dingo, Tim and Eric.
Peep Show
Mainstream/network animation, like South Park, Bob’s Burgers, Rick and Morty. I’ve fallen out of love with Futurama and Simpsons, but used to love those shows.
I enjoy sketch comedy: SNL, Key and Peele, Chappelle’s Show, and MadTV all have plenty of sketches that have stayed in my brain forever.
Even with more serious shows, I like comedic elements:
Fallout is legitimately hilarious at times
Patriot is the most underrated show of this century
Fargo is just great, and happens to have had occasional moments where I unexpectedly just blurt out with laughter.
Is Atlanta a dramedy? Or just a comedy? Either way, it’s funny to me.
There are a bunch of shows I once loved but never went back to rewatch, either:
The League
Scrubs
The New Girl
Mindy Project
The Good Place
I imagine they still hold up, though.
I’m working my way through Hacks and Righteous Gemstones while I have an HBO subscription, and suspect they’ll be in my “liked it but probably won’t rewatch” category.
And overall there are probably dozens or hundreds of others I liked well enough. I just like to laugh.
