We have listed such comedy TV shows in the article. So if you haven’t already watched them, here’s your chance!
It’s always sunny in Philadelphia.
This series recently became the longest-running American series with live-action. According to critics, this show, although underrated by the Gen audience, truly deserves the title. Being the brainchild of Genn Howerton and Rob Mc Elhenney, it saw a bumper revealed in 2020. The series starts with Danny DeVito and Kaitlin Olson, with many other characters tickling your nerves with intense comedy. The series depicts how the gang breaks laws to sell alcohol and drugs and steal from the mafia to make more money.
Monty Phyton’s Flying Circus
This series was first aired in 1969 and was considered the 49th best TV show due to the intense comedy sketch, well executed by Michael Palin, Graham Chapman, John Clesse, and many others. The series was excellent enough to win three Bafta awards. The characters in the show poked fun about everything, which even today has a dedicated cult following.
Seinfeld
Although many are in the line, this is still considered one of the best comedy series ever made. The show has won a whopping 10 Emmy awards, which justifies its screenplay, comedy timing, and sketch quality. The show mainly talks about the misadventures of Jerry Seinfeld, a New York comedian, along with his equally dysfunctional friends. Critics say the series is gut-bustlingly funny, making it interesting for its viewers.
Nathan For You
The series, on its own, follows an odd storyline for a comedy genre. It talks about Nathan Fielder, who uses his business degree to help small businesses turn their fortunes around for good. However, the series strikes a complex chord with comedy when his approach puts the companies in unusual and unexpected situations. The show has also earned rave reviews for turning an anxiety-driven plot into that humor.
Clarkson’s Farm
As the name suggests, this show follows a simple concept centered around a famous TV personality, Jeremy Clarkson, who tries to work his way around a farm successfully. Although only one season has hit our screens so far, it is still added to the list based on the reviews by people.
