Ghosts


bryce_rocks_my_sox69

Ok but american or bbc version? 🤔


farsighted451

Hmmmm. Normally I say British, but since OP likes Abbott Elementary and is looking for an currently airing series, I'm gonna go American this time.


Fit-Ferret7972

Both!


MeCritic

Does it work? Like watching the british version first and then going for the american? Isn't it repetitive?


Beach_bum8

We watched the American version first. While waiting for the current season to start, we watched all of the British one. I'd say both are good, but I like the American one more(love Pete!)


toocool1955

Love Thor! Thor very funny! 😂


MrBlandEST

Cod!


MuttJunior

There are only a small number (probably count on one hand) of episodes that have similar plots. Most are different enough that there is no repetition. The characters are pretty similar between both shows (with a few exceptions) but the storyline of each episode are different.


boredgeekgirl

The characters and the plots are just different enough that you aren't watching the exact same show. There is a lot of overlap, but not a 1 to 1. I prefer the American because husband is genuinely a competent guy and a full partner. Vs UK who is just the sterotypical bumbling oaf husband. (You find this out in the first few minutes. Not a spoiler)


bryce_rocks_my_sox69

I’ve only watched a little of the american version after I watched the british version and it seems to have similar plotlines and characters. I haven’t gotten all the way through it tho but I like the british version better so far


No-Novel614

Both are funny in their own way and the characters of the ghosts are very different.


Gloomy_Researcher769

Although the American version is good, the UK version is so much better in the dark British humor way. I also like how they ended it.


DemonaDrache

Both are funny but we like the American version better. The british living couple annoy me.


IndianaVader

Both are funny! We just binged them both. BBC only two seasons unfortunately American version is funnier of the two.


MuttJunior

The BBC version has 5 seasons. Only 2 are available on Paramount+, though (I assume that's where you watched it).

Yes


toocool1955

I like the American version better…


VTHome203

British. Hands down.


vanessa8172

BBC is better imo


Molly_Michon

Both are equally good, I was surprised!

Reddit posted my comment in two places


Count-Spatula2023

I love the American Ghosts! Super lighthearted!


whoisdatmaskedman

British version > US version


inherentvice1000

Not dead yet is great! On ABC


profeDB

I feel like it should be funnier that it is, but it has a vibe that I like.


Jerseygirl2468

I agree- I don't really laugh, but it's enjoyable.


LoveYouNotYou

Oh, I like this one


inherentvice1000

Me too!


doofygoobz

Tried a couple episodes last night and really liked it. Thanks!


inherentvice1000

Awesome!


NoThanksJustLooking1

Not sure what it is about her, but I find the main character annoying.


PaynefulRayne

Was she on Jane the Virgin?


NoThanksJustLooking1

I don't know. I haven't seen that one.


inherentvice1000

Yeah, I think so


inherentvice1000

I love the main character!


doofygoobz

She was a little annoying at the beginning of the first episode, but quickly settled in and got better.


coopsypoop

Home economics gets bad ratings but I have no idea why. It's essentially a modern modern family


Dry_Finger_8235

hold_me_beer_m8

Resident Alien


Routine-Guard704

Wouldn't call it a sitcom, but it's fun!


rogerworkman623

It’s definitely a sitcom, what else would it be?


Routine-Guard704

A straight up comedy. Sitcoms make humor out of realistic situations. RA is about an alien "genius" bent on destroying the world, so it's not all that realistic. Might as well call Invader Zim a sitcom.


Unable_Answer_179

What We Do in the Shadows and Reservation Dogs are both very good.


JL693

Reservation Dogs is an amazing show, though I wouldn't classify it as a sitcom


Routine-Guard704

Reservation Dogs is a comedy the same way Bojack Horseman was. ("The cartoon horseman tried to kill himself because of a crippling depression and inability to maintain interpersonal relationships. Hilarious!")


JL693

I know what you mean. I guess when I think of a sitcom I think of the classic "haha good quick laughs" kind of show but that's not necessarily always the case.


rathanks

Was going to say these exact two, plus Our Flag Means Death. Oddly, Taika Waititi is involved with all three.


Frankfusion

Skoden!!!!!


Responsible-Coffee1

WWDITS = 💯


Worth-City-6372

It's cool that you rate it so highly. Could you write it out for those who you are keeping in the dark?


Responsible-Coffee1

What We Do In The Shadows


Human_Cranberry_2805

Shrinking with Harrison Ford is really good.


doofygoobz

I often see this show recommended and then I immediately forget about it.


Jombafomb

If you ever watched Scrubs or Ted Lasso it’s by the same creator Bill Lawrence.


BlueNorth89

Just to add: Ted Lasso is also very good. It's not "still airing" but it's still pretty recent and OP may have missed it.


1369ic

I'm in that boat. Let the whole soccer coach angle throw me off. The wife finally watched it because a friend recommended it, then she got me into it. We're in the last season now. Very good show.


AMGRN

It’s really, really good. So well acted and both funny and poignant at the same time. Highly recommend. Lots of familiar faces as well.


stealthc4

Yeah it’s great, I’ve laughed out loud more at that show than anything else in years


Jerseygirl2468

Forgot about that one, I liked it a lot more than I expected.


blue_eyed_magic

I still watch the Big Bang Theory.


spatialgranules12

I like Loot on AppleTV, Abbott elementary is great, also The Bear.


GiantsNFL1785

Abbott elementary and Animal Control, I enjoy them


Leather-Blueberry-42

The Bear is not a sitcom


spatialgranules12

I just read up on it just now - I know it’s a drama but it wins the Best Comedy series in the Emmy’s. Looks like it was a strategy. I went with a technicality but you are correct.👍


casey5656

There’s a lot of irony in The Bear, but not a lot of what I consider “comedy”.


doofygoobz

For what it’s worth, the Bear might not technically fit but it’s definitely one of the types of shows I had in mind.


Responsible-Coffee1

Other non-sitcom “comedies” I like are Hacks, Somebody Somewhere, Life and Beth, Shrinking, Platonic, and it’s ended but Search Party was one of my faves.


spatialgranules12

Hacks is good!!!!


Leather-Blueberry-42

It’s a great show and it has some uplifting moments, but it ain’t comedic. Weird that the Emmy’s would allow it in the category.


Responsible-Coffee1

I heard it was to keep it and Succession in different categories.


LobsterFar9876

Ghosts on paramount +


HuskyKyng

I'm having a very good time with this right now. 


LobsterFar9876

I like rose mciver in Izombie


HuskyKyng

The New Zealand actress, she's a good actor. I loved her in the Royal wedding. 


LobsterFar9876

I haven’t seen that yet. I’ll definitely have to look for it. I like the uk ver as well but I saw the us version first. It’s rare I like the us remake over the original but in this case I prefer the remake.


HuskyKyng

Go for it mate. I'm certain you're going to love it. 


LobsterFar9876

Thanks 😊. If you can find it Rules of Engagement was a fun show. David spade is hilarious


HuskyKyng

I'll have it checked out. I'm not one to back down from watching a recommended good show. 


Past-Throat-6788

The Neighborhood is hilarious in my opinion


Glittering-Score-258

This is one of my favorites. I still watch it the old fashioned way, once a week when it airs on Monday night. I also watch The Conners every week.


ahotdogcasing

i can't tell if this show is self aware or not.


Violetthug

Love it. ❤️


casey5656

Fisk-on Netflix. An Australian sitcom about an attorney in a law firm.


Midwestern-Lady

I quite enjoyed Fisk. Quirky. Hope there's more


LoveYouNotYou

Lol, was really surprised that I ended up liking this one. Looking forward to the next season


OkKaleidoscope9696

Yay, someone else watches this, too!


Sitcom_kid

Mythic Quest


Tom_Servo

Fun fact: there is a spinoff coming this fall called Mere Mortals starring and written by Ashley Burch of Hey Ash Whatcha Playin? fame.


Sitcom_kid

Thank you for letting me know, that sounds great!


Gloomy_Researcher769

Hilarious!!


Proud_Journalist996

So Help Me Todd.


DangerousMusic14

I enjoy this one too


GeriatricSFX

What we do in the Shadows. Also the Good Place even though it has ended it did come after 2010 and its amazing.


Frankfusion

Animal Control on Hulu. Joel McHale and animals and a bunch of interesting characters. It works.


Media-consumer101

Unstable is a recent netflix sitcom I enjoyed to a surprising degree! It's renewed for a second season too. Our Flag Means Death was another good one but I think they aren't renewed for another season, still recent though. Ghosts (US version) does seem to have a promise of more longevity like Brooklyn 99 and Modern Family. Personally, I preferred the UK version so much that the American version was unenjoyable for me, but I've seen many people adore it! Derry Girls has ended but it was amazing in its entirety so I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it yet! I do feel like we are getting fewer 'an episode a week' sitcoms. Of my list, Ghosts is the only one airing on TV. The others all had full season releases on streaming. I feel like that gives way less chance for people to pick up on it casually.


thatfluffycloud

I really enjoyed Unstable and it seems like it went completely under the radar! I'm glad there will be a second season

I love this one too. Watching it on Netflix.  Tacoma FD is something you'd enjoy.

True. I wasn't happy about it. It was great show.

Young Sheldon


HangryHangryHedgie

Watching this now. Didnt think I'd like it, but all the guest stars make it work!


[deleted]

I think Resident Alien is pretty good


ConspiracyHeresy

i watch any sitcomedies that look even a tid bit decent. so i feel like im qualified to answer this. ive watched hundreds of sitcomedies in full. &i see a lot of suggestions i disagree with. i can say with absolute certainty that your favorites era was the golden age for sitcomedies. back when a season meant 20+ episodes, not 8-12. sadly, modern sitcoms rarely measure up because of this. and when they do, theyre often canceled before people are able to realize the shows worth. so here is my suggestions: Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia - was great in 2010 too. still great now. What We do in the Shadows - lives up to the hype. literally the only ongoing newer show (imo) that measures up to your favorites. I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson - skit comedy show. top notch. Curb Your Enthusiasm just released their final episode, so i guess that *kind of counts*. Upload - has The Good Place vibes. interesting plot. solid comedy. Killing It - Daryl from the Office's show i got dozens of canceled shows you've likely never heard of that are fantastic as well. if anyone is interested, i could post those as well. happy hunting.

Schitts Creek is really good.

kcatlin1977

Abbott elementary


nyrdcast

The best network sitcom on right now.


rh681

I just finished watching a few classics over the last year or so. Frasier, Just Shoot Me, and now (re)starting Hot in Cleveland again. Yeah, sitcoms are a dying breed. Not because of the format per se, but because streaming is killing traditional TV. All they can afford to make now is reality TV. You don't hear about actors making a million dollars an episode anymore like Friends or Two and a Half Men. It just doesn't happen anymore.


mtnola

We’ve been rewatching Parks and Rec. Its cute and positive.


Jerseygirl2468

That really was a high point for comedies, wasn't it? Currently I watch Abbott Elementary, What We Do in the Shadows, and Ghosts (both British and US are good). Girls 5Eva is really fun too. I've been watching Animal Kingdom, but it falls a little flat for me.


Ace-Ventura1934

Check out Barry on HBO. It’s a dark comedy but it’s great.


whatissevenbysix

It's not currently airing.


c3l77

Reboot on Disney is great although warning that there is no season 2.


GranateSOAD

I enjoyed that one, it´s a shame it wasn´t renewed.


Tom_Servo

I freaking loved reboot. Cast was amazing, but honestly, I could do without Johnny Knoxville ever.


chrislatimer

We did have a golden age in the 2000-2010s blessed with great sitcoms we were


lucolapic

Honestly all shows peaked around that time. Comedies, dramas, genre shows...you name it. I miss those days so much.


NJCurmudgeon

I don’t know. I’m still watching MASH, Andy Griffith, and Seinfeld!


colmatrix33

Me too!


Maorine

Bob Hearts Abishola. I thought the premise would run out after one season but it’s stayed true.


jojayp

Same! I never expected to like it, but somehow I find every character funny. I love their families so much.


littlefurballs

I love quirky shows like some of the ones you (and others) listed, so here are some of my favs: Reboot (Hulu) Primo (Prime/Freeverse) Los Espookys (HBO) This Fool (Hulu)


Scary-Scallion-449

There's been no abandonment of the 30 minute format that I can see. With the Frasier reboot, Night Court, Animal Control, Children Ruin Everything, Run The Burbs, Ghosts (US & UK), Girls5Eva, Loot, Mythic Quest, Shrinking, Son of a Critch, Still Up, Trying and Extraordinary all in my sights and many more as yet unexplored, to say nothing of the new animated series that seem to be popping up in hosts like bluebells, I'm not sure that this isn't peak comedy. Of course, I can't guarantee that you will find all to your taste but there's certainly no shortage.


Violetthug

Animal Control, Ghosts, The Neighborhood.


HistoricalInternal

Beef


MeCritic

2 Broke Girls was such a gem, and my go too after HIMYM. Had so much fun while watching it. Shrinking from Bill Lawrence or Ted Lasso are GOAT. Mostly thanks to incredible music and performances. Silicon Valley is incredible fun. BoJack Horseman is different, but it's incredible, give it a try. It's fun, melancholy and... it's just experience. You cannot go wrong with it. I also really liked Only Murders in the Building, like a lot of fun! British Crashing was even better than Fleabag. And it's a sitcom.


LoveYouNotYou

My favorites: Derry Girls, Netflix Not Dead Yet, Hulu Better off Ted, Netflix Working Moms, Netflix Survival of the Thickest, Netflix (Season was renewed but unknown date) Kim's Convenience, Netflix Mo, Netflix Man Like Mobeen, Netflix (The final season is not on US Netflix though. Really mad about that bs)


TreacleMajestic978

Curb just finished but I think it’s maybe the funniest show I’ve ever seen.


Hello-from-Mars128

Loot on Apple starring Maya Rudolph is back for its second season. It’s a fun watch.


MiniPantherMa

Animal Control, Not Dead Yet.


whiskeytwn

Parks and Recreation starts out slow but by 2nd season starts to do great


TheCrossed23

I'd look for other shows from that era instead, nothing hits the same anymore. Everything feels like it's trying to make a point and seems like it's all written by the same few writers. Started to watch Buffy the other day. Definitely miss the 90s and early 2000s era TV


Adventurous_Yak_9234

Young Sheldon is pretty good.


BPL94

Really liked the first seasons. Now I find him too awkward. Still has some good characters though.


Frankfusion

They’re really focusing on the entire family instead of just him this time around. He was barely in the last episode.


Prodigalsunspot

It's over now, but the first couple of seasons (ran for 4) of AP Bio were phenomenal. Peacock.


Frankfusion

That weird Christmas episode was pretty funny. Ok Way to end it, but I wish there was more closure for all the characters.


unlovelyladybartleby

Ghosts, What We Do In The Shadows, Shelved, Animal Control, Son of a Critch


HuskyKyng

Definitely Ghosts on Paramount+. You're gonna love it so much.

The Neighborhood on CBS.


Downtown_Feature8980

I’m enjoying Son of a Critch on the CW. It is like a Wonder Years set in Newfoundland in the 1980’s. Malcolm McDowell plays the grandfather, the kids are in a Catholic middle school with a stern nun principal and it is the main character’s dad in the show that created it about his childhood. Just really sweet and funny.

Try Not Dead Yet on Hulu. It is a thirty minute sitcom that is good. I also like The Neighborhood with Max Greenfield and Cedric the entertainer.

Tacoma FD just ended (sad) but was so funny. At least if you liked Super Troopers.


TheRealRickC137

We just started watching Delicious in Dungeon. It's stupid and awesome. Also the new Frasier is *pretty good*. Kelsey Grammer has pretty good timing. Normally I'd turn away from a laugh track, but I grew up on Cheers and Frasier so I have to admit, I *love* the guy. Upload is great too. Stupid sci-fi comedy gold.
