Looking for a funny show that I would find brilliant - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

sitcomdev · 06-28-2017, 09:53 AM

Hey there binge watchers, I need a sitcom that you think I would find brilliantly funny.
If 5 or at least 3 of the following series make your top 5 then your suggestions matter to me, otherwise I guess we just don't have the same taste of humor:
-Seinfeld
-Friends
-Scrubs
-The office
-Curb your enthusiasm
-That 70's show
-How I met your mother

I watched many popular ones like:
Parks and recs
Arrested development
Modern family
30 Rock
New girl
The big bang theory
Alway sunny in Phile
Community
etc...

As much as I enjoyed some at different levels, they just couldn't fill the hole left by my top 3. What I enjoy most is the subtleties, the inside jokes, the believable setup (characters the camera isn't focused on having some silly activity on the background, seemingly unscripted conversations, several random things happening at the same time, etc).

As an example, what cracked me up the most in this friends' episode is (min 2:00-2:10) when Ross handed the lamp to Chandler. Yep, the random subtle things that go mostly unnoticed are my cup of tea.

LOL---I don't like any of the shows you listed so I won't suggest any shows.

The only one I like on your list is Seinfeld.

stevea · 06-28-2017, 10:55 PM

I agree about Seinfeld. Try The Middle.

Here's a recommendation from the "Vintage" TV show department.

My All-Time Funniest Sitcom:

Get Smart

MA · 07-01-2017, 02:08 PM

Three's Company

The Brady Bunch

Night Court

stevea · 07-01-2017, 05:34 PM

I agree with the Brady Bunch, but I have a hunch from his list that wouldn't be his cup of tea.

stevea · 07-01-2017, 05:37 PM

I just thought of one out of left field. The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show. Really offbeat humor from the 50s.

Great choice. I would add WKRP in Cincinnati for a radio theme both are terrific.
If you like sitcoms that are dark, very dark, Titus might be for you.

tvfan25 · 07-01-2017, 09:59 PM

The only ones I like on your list are The Big Bang Theory, Friends and That 70's Show. I would try watching Night Court, Three's Company, Mama's Family and Barney Miller.
