[@DanGamingFan2846]

_Brooklyn 99 is absolutely hilarious. The writing is fantastic, Jake, Holt, and Rosa are some of my favorite characters in any sitcom, and the cold opens are iconic.

[@andrewgagne5063]

I know, I love how this show pulls the comedy off as well.

[@2trillo852]

So underrated

[@CarysLibri]

This show also really knew how to write for an ensemble car. So many ensembles fail to help us know our car about even its smaller characters, but these Brooklyn 99 writers had me as a fan of all characters, from Jake, Holt, and Amy to Sully, Hitchcock and even the Pontiac Bandit! So great! 🤩

[@trinaq]

It's a shame that "One Day at a Time got cancelled not once, but twice. It flawlessly balanced both comedy and drama.

[@SoliRhymesWithJulie]

I'm still upset about losing this show.

[@rooster217]

I'm gay and I think it went too heavy on the "woke sexualities" stuff in the netflix remake, although it was good too see, didn't need to be the whole thing

[@MLT_2023]

I never saw the last season 😢

[@trinaq]

I adore "Abbott Elementary." Finally, there's an engaging, entertaining show about teachers and their relationships with their students.

[@kamsismith]

I've seen a couple of episodes of Abbott Elementary and it's cute. I want to see the full series because I adore Tyler James Williams since Everybody Hates Chris and I'm glad he's getting more opportunities.

[@trinaq]

@@kamsismith I'd definitely recommend watching the full series. It's cute and feel good, and while the whole cast is excellent, Tyler really stands out to me.

[@kamsismith]

I remember the day Season 2 was renewed, my mom asked me if he was still acting since she hasn't seen him in stuff. I saw him in The Walking Dead, Dear White People(the movie, not the show), and Let it Shine.

[@daenerystargaryen6302]

It's so over-rated!

[@briannussbaum4898]

Abbot is my favorite sitcom

[@about_to_leave_earth]

My fav is definitely Derry Girls, I'll love this forever

[@davidz3879]

Unless they're dedicated to being US & Canada-centric, I can't see why they'd omit DG.

[@maxxh5331]

I LOVE Superstore, The Good Place, How I Met Your Father, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and Home Economics!! I'm currently watching Abbott Elementary and it is amazing.

[@marta.melnyk]

"The Good Place" is my most favourite of all times 🥰

[@misstriciak]

I love "Abbott Elementary" so much ❤️ It's not just comedy, it's like a universe, a safe place 😊

[@Lauren42Allison]

I've seen a few of these, but I'm glad to have a few more shows to add to my list!

[@scottsummers4234]

Schitts Creek!!! Forever rewatchable! My comfort show ❤❤❤

[@user-lv5zz7wv6l]

Didn’t think I’d like the good place when I first saw it but I found funny and shocked and was a bit teary during the finale which is rare for me

[@caseycampbell4787]

The Good Place is amazing!!!! I see why people find it to be a comfort show. It might end up being one of mine.

[@tmbline]

I love home economics! This list reminded me! But it also reminds me that it may not be back 😅

[@lenevee4925]

I love the tension and will they or won't they vibes between Greg and Janine. Pay the writers!

[@jaderamos8368]

Would’ve loved to see “What we do in the shadows” on here but idk if it qualifies as a sitcom

[@Lauren42Allison]

Agreed 100%! One of my favourite shows for sure!

[@homosoftommorow]

It absolutely qualifies as a sitcom

[@tpgorman15]

That and Reservation Dogs both deserved a spot.

[@madnessarcade7447]

I love home economics it’s so underrated no one talks about it Hope we get a new season

[@AJ-xc4qe]

If there's ANY current running sitcom for kids that's the most worth watching, it's The Villains of Valley View. It's not nearly as good as That's So Raven, Zack and Cody or Wizards but it's the last kidcom left that feels like it's actually taking itself seriously. They're not wasting time making mediocre or bad seasons of television. They're trying to make the show as fun and creative as it can be! Dare I say it, it feels more like a golden age Disney sitcom more than Raven's Home ever did! Not every joke lands, but when it does it's hilarious! There are some things I wish they would've done differently like writing WHEN Hartley finds out the secret or giving the antagonists more depth. Regardless, I'm in my late 20s and I love it!

[@TheAliinee1]

Thanks for the recommendation! I'm in my late 20s as well but I love kids sitcoms hahaha I will check this one out

[@packnetadaija]

I love Abbott! I recommend it to everyone! I recommend it especially to fellow teachers or teachers in training

[@damarisalaman]

I literally watch ALL of these shows minus “How I Met Your Father” & I mean binged & started from the beginning. GREAT list!

[@danipark5198]

I'm a sitcom nerd and I approve this list ☺️ Maybe they can make 'The Good Place' higher on the list because that show is top tier from start 'till the end 💗

[@lidytt8427]

Absolutely agree! If I see a list of good shows especially comedy/sitcom and it doesn’t have the good place I’m not trusting the other items, but this is great! But the good place would always be the 1st for me

[@danipark5198]

@@lidytt8427 Omgggg same for me here!!! 🥰

[@samsonhorrocks6036]

No I agree wholeheartedly, The Good Place should’ve been WAY higher like you kidding me? It’s an absolutely phenomenally beautiful show and I adore it to pieces.

[@homosoftommorow]

Shows you should have mentioned: -Insecure -Everything Is Gonna Be Ok -We Are Lady Parts -Reservation Dogs -Grand Crew -Work In Progress -Speechless -Special -People Of Earth -What We Do In The Shadows -Bust Down -Difficult People -Rutherford Falls -Grace and Frankie -Single Drunk Female -Please Like Me

[@theseinstrumentals]

Oh I love Speechless. Such a great show

[@ToniWellons]

Insecure deserves an honorable mention! Abbott Elementary is my favorite new sitcom!! The acting, the cast, the writing is everything!! So funny and smart!! Quinta is a genius!!

[@corbinowens2437]

Superstore is sooooo underrated! Just started Brooklyn Nine Nine…too good!!

[@raqperalta]

i'm so sad i finished how i met your father last month.. hope fingers crossed there's another season?

[@madnessarcade7447]

9:10 thank you for adding NDY cuz it didn’t get the love it deserved when that trailer dropped

[@tiffy3787]

Right me and my huaband love it!

[@oscarsalas4208]

i dont think they make sitcoms like they use to so i always end up re watching the ones i grew up with. But i did recently watch SuperStore and it’s hilarious! I recommend it to anyone. I might watch Home Economics next since i know some of the characters. Seems underrated.

[@kat.5927]

Superstore is one of the most hilarious sitcoms I've watched! They're all so quirky and special in their own way... I also love The Mindy Project it's super funny as well.

[@EB_TaylorSwiftFan]

3:22 why is that “ya-ga-ga-ga-guy” so funny 🤣 😂😂

[@userofinternetmorepending6296]

Home Economics. The Good Place. Schitt's Creek. Abbott Elementary... All comedy gold 💯

[@rafaelnelito6441]

I JUST LOVE SITCOMS My favorites are Hot in Cleaveland, Brooklyn 99, Mom, Schitts Creek, Superstore (so good) and I have to say Modern Family ('cause it's just PERFECT)

[@tiffy3787]

I havent seen Grace and Frankie, Superstore, or Brooklyn 99. But ive seen all the others.... Never heard of honerable mention "Children Ruin Everything" and I have "Working Moms" on my list to watch at some point.

[@laurenab]

Schitts Creek and Brooklyn 99 are awesome. I also love Parks and Rec and Modern Family.

[@madnessarcade7447]

My new idea if Netflix doesn't have it is 70s 80s 90s sitcoms

[@Nate9-9]

How the fork is The Good Place #9? writing this with out seeing the 8 entries above it, yet. There is no way it doesn't deserve to be above all others here at #1. Edit: (a few points after watching the full video) 1. This is about shows I should be watching, but there is a scene here from the series finale of The Good Place. Why? How do I know none of the others featured here have spoilers? 2. The only show mentioned here that is on par with The Good Place, imo, is Schitt's Creek, but I think The Good Place still deserves the #1 spot. . 3. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia should be in the top 3, but since I recognize that this kind of comedy isn't for everyone it should be at least an honorable mention.

[@theseinstrumentals]

This list is of shows that started in the last ten years (then 2023, so 2013) so IASIP does not qualify and the scene from the good place isn’t a spoiler since no one would know what he meant by I’m ready unless they’ve seen it

[@davidz3879]

Why is this list American & Canadian only?

[@charliejoson9145]

Because Watchmojo is Canadian and most of their subscribers on the channel are from Canada and America except me since I'm from Southeast Asia and I love watching some Watchmojo videos

For me, Favorite is still 💯 #Seinfeld but also I enjoy watching Upshaw, Marlon, Brooklyn Nine-nine, Derry Girls,The IT Crowd, Windsors, The Sound of your heart, Mom(Allison Janney), Two&A Half Men, Everybody Loves Raymond! . Here in YT, I watch Curb your enthusiasm.

[@theseinstrumentals]

I watched all of The Good Place after season one got me intrigued. Watched for the twists in the first season, hated it after that and loathed the series finale as they all decided to end it which for me was an insane slap to the face especially since Tehani changed her mind before she did. Horrible writing. Only show I like on this list is Brooklyn Nine Nine and I’m trying to give Abbott and home economics a bit more of a chance but the rest I dislike that I’ve seen (I’ve seen all except the Netflix ones and the honorable mentions, aside from last man on Earth which I hated). I never liked superstore but I kept trying to give it a chance and when I saw the Halloween episode where the guy killed the crows (how is that funny??) I knew it was not the show for me and never watched it again
