If you’re missing the quirky charm and sassy wit of Schitt’s Creek, these eight comedies are exactly what you need. From eccentric small towns to lovable misfits, these shows will keep the laughs coming and fill that Rose family-shaped hole in your heart.
Schitt’s Creek was one of those rare shows that perfectly balanced wit and emotion, and ever since it ended, there’s been a Rose family-sized hole in all our hearts. If you’re looking for the same blend of funny and sassy, here are eight TV comedies that will have you laughing just as hard as Moira in a community theater. From quirky small-town charm to big-city wit, there’s something for everyone. So, settle in with a fruity wine and your favorite Alexis-approved sweater, and get ready to meet your new TV besties.
The Good Place (Netflix)
If you thought the afterlife was all harps and clouds, think again. The Good Place is a clever, laugh-out-loud show that takes a fresh look at the afterlife, following a group of pretty messed-up people trying to get their act together — and avoid getting sent to the Bad Place. The series is full of witty jokes, unexpected twists, and surprisingly deep moments that make you think about what it really means to be a good person.
Superstore (Peacock)
Ever wonder what really goes on in those big-box stores? Superstore lifts the blue vest on all the hilarious chaos. From weird customer requests to employee shenanigans, the show nails the soul-crushing (yet weirdly fun) retail experience. Plus, the will-they-won’t-they romance is so sweet it’ll give you cavities.
Parks and Recreation (Peacock)
If Leslie Knope ran for president, she’d have my vote faster than you can say “Treat Yo’ Self.” Parks and Rec is like the warm hug of TV shows – it’s got heart, humor, and waffles. So. Many. Waffles. Watch a group of lovable goofballs turn the most boring government department into comedy gold. Fair warning: you might find yourself weirdly passionate about local politics after watching.
Derry Girls (Netflix)
Derry Girls is like if your high school diary came to life, but funnier and with better accents. Through this ’90s Irish Catholic school nostalgia, these girls (and the wee English fella) will have you snorting with laughter one minute and feeling all the feels the next.
Difficult People (Hulu)
If your sense of humor is darker than a black hole, Difficult People is your jam. It’s like if your most sarcastic friend got their own TV show. Julie and Billy are the human embodiments of New York cynicism, dropping pop culture references faster than you can Google them.
Ted Lasso (Apple TV+)
Imagine if a golden retriever became a human and then coached soccer — that’s Ted Lasso for you. It’s like a warm chocolate chip cookie for your soul and has jokes so wholesome they’ll make you want to call your grandma. You don’t need to know a thing about soccer to fall in love with these characters. Just be prepared for some serious feels between the laughs.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine (Peacock)
Cool cool cool cool, no doubt no doubt. Brooklyn Nine-Nine is what you’d get if your class clown became a cop. It’s like Law & Order, but instead of “dun dun,” you get “noice!” Jake, Amy, and the whole squad will have you cry-laughing through stakeouts, Halloween heists, and more pop culture references than you can shake a stick at.
Kim’s Convenience (Netflix)
Appa and Umma are the parents you never knew you needed. Kim’s Convenience is like peeking through the window of that family-run corner store, but funnier and with more heart. It nails the immigrant experience without ever feeling preachy, serving up laughs and aww moments in equal measure. From family misunderstandings to workplace shenanigans, this show’s got more warmth than a fresh batch of kimchi.
