Schitt’s Creek

Next in the list of one of the best comedy TV shows to have ever graced the small screen is Schitt’s Creek. This multiple award-winning show, in its entirety, is a story about an ultra-rich family that goes bankrupt and, as a result, are forced to relocate in a city that the family patriarch bought as a joke. This critically acclaimed series sees its key protagonists dealing with their respective first-world problems and learning how the people who live at the bottom of the socio-economic food chain get by. All six seasons of this hit Canadian series can be found on Netflix as well.

The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel

This period dramedy is about a Jewish girl living in 1950’s New York who happens to have a knack for stand-up comedy. The show in question sees its titular character, Midge, enthral audiences with her wit and comedic timing. Simultaneously, Midge can be seen making her audience think about how hard it is to be a woman, and especially, how challenging it is for a woman to do what her heart desires in a majorly patriarchal society. All four seasons of the show can be found on Amazon Prime Video which is available on your Airtel Xtream Android box as well.

The Big Bang Theory – amongst the best comedy TV shows

The Big Bang Theory is about a handful of super smart friends who work in various scientific departments of the prestigious Caltech university and a beautiful neighbour who moves into an apartment across the hall from two of those friends who live with each other. Tales of hilarity, poignancy, friendship and, believe it or not, deep seated childhood trauma come out of the interactions between the front-lining characters. This show is essentially about a group of Science Fiction loving misfits and what happens when a socially adept individual becomes a part of their group. All 12 seasons of this multiple Emmy award-winning series can be found on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, both of which are now available on your Airtel Xstream DTH box.

Two And A Half Men

This particular show is about two brothers who are diametrically opposite to each other and the son of one of those brothers who shares the same room. One brother is a successful music composer who has a way with women, while the second one is a divorced struggling chiropractor who is paying thousands of dollars in alimony and child support to his ex-wife. One is a smooth talker who is well-equipped to navigate almost any social situation, while the other one is shy and awkward.

One is only interested in casual physical encounters with women, while the other one is seeking a deep connection with members of the fairer sex and is always on a quest of finding love again. In the middle of the two is an impressionable child who is the son of the shy, awkward and struggling divorced chiropractor. This show, much like the Big Bang Theory at large, is about how parenting styles, external environment and circumstances can shape a human being. All 12 seasons of Two And A Half Men can be found on Netflix as well as Amazon Prime Video.

One Day At A Time

The plot of One Day At A Time is centred around a Cuban-American family that is living in the Los Angeles-based neighbourhood of Echo Park. The story of the critically-acclaimed sitcom primarily focuses on an ex-Army veteran single mother who is dealing with PTSD along with her kids and mother. This poignant show became well-known for handling issues such as mental illness, immigration problems, the rampant sexism and homophobia prevalent around the world and racism as well. All three seasons of this now-cancelled show can be found on Netflix.

Mom

Mom is yet another comedic and heart-wrenching series that is courtesy of the makers of Two And A Half Men and The Big Bang Theory. This show revolves around a mother-daughter duo who are attempting to pull their lives together after living fairly colourful lives themselves. This show touches upon important subjects such as the dangers of addiction, the importance of moving on after personal tragedies and, much like Two And A Half Men and The Big Bang Theory, how your environment and the manner in which you were raised, shapes you as a human being. All seven seasons of this show can be found on Amazon Prime Video.

The Good Place

Additionally, the show also tackles questions such as ‘What Does It Mean To Be A Good Person?’ ‘Why Is It So Hard To Be A Good Individual In Today’s Day And Age?’ and ‘What Is The Best Possible Way You Can Live Your Life?’. All four seasons of this show can be found on Netflix.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine comedy TV series

This police dramedy is about a handful of cops who usually work as a team in the Nine Nine police precinct of Brooklyn under the leadership of a certain Captain Raymond Holt. Holt is an openly gay African American man who occasionally plays the part of a father figure for his teammates. This show, much like some of the sitcoms mentioned in this list, tackles childhood trauma and explores how parenting styles shape a child. On top of that, it also deals with racism, homophobia, the upsides and downsides of having an obsessive-compulsive disorder and daddy issues. All 8 seasons of this show can be found on Netflix as well.
