6 Hilarious TV Workplace Comedies (That Aren’t ‘The Office’) You Can Stream Right Now
When you think about a workplace TV comedy, The Office is probably the first show that comes to mind.
But you don’t have to binge-watch The Office over and over again just to get your workplace comedy fix. There are plenty of other bangers out there. Here are seven other amazing workplace TV comedies (and where you can stream them).
1. Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Brooklyn Nine-Nine is the feel-good, witty workplace comedy about the lovable, quirky NYPD detectives of Brooklyn’s 99th precinct. Starring Andy Samberg as Detective Jake Peralta, Terry Crews as Sergeant Terry Jeffords, Stephanie Beatriz as Detective Rosa Diaz, and the late Andre Braugher as Captain Holt, Brooklyn Nine-Nine is proof that you can be funny without being mean as well as choosing your own family and doing the right thing.
Where to Stream: Peacock and Netflix
2. Scrubs
Scrubs tells the story of Sacred Heart Hospital through the eyes of medical intern John (J.D.) Dorian, played by Zach Braff. Along with his best friend and surgical intern Turk (Donald Faison), fellow intern Elliot Reed (Sarah Chalke), and nurse Carla Espinosa (Judy Reyes), J.D. learns what it means to be a doctor, a friend, and ultimately what it means to be a person.

3. Abbott Elementary
Abbott Elementary is a workplace comedy filmed in a mockumentary style about a group of dedicated teachers and an oblivious principal at the underfunded Abbott Elementary in South Philadelphia. Despite the challenges, the teachers of Abbott Elementary School are ready to give their all to their students and help them succeed.
4. Parks & Recreation
Parks & Recreation is another mockumentary-style sitcom that takes place in fictional Pawnee, Indiana and tells the story of the town’s local government. With Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, Nick Offerman, and Aubrey Plaza starring, it’s easy to see why this workplace comedy became a fan favorite.

5. Superstore
Superstore starring America Ferrera, Colton Dunn, and Ben Feldman is about the fictional big box retail store Cloud 9 and the employees that help the store run. The show is witty, heartfelt, and thought-provoking. As critic Melanie McFarland put it over at Salon: “What we’ve been missing in overlooking “Superstore” is a series that intelligently presents one of the most optimistic, unsentimental visions of American life on television. Part of that is due to its commonplace setting; more than a few urbanites voice their disdain of big box stores as capitalist blights on independent business, or symbols of rural and suburban America’s ruin.”
Where to Stream: Hulu and Peacock
6. The Mindy Project
The Mindy Project starring Mindy Kaling, Chris Messina, and Ike Barinholtz tells the story of Mindy Lahiri (Kaling), a young OBGYN determined to get her life on track and fall in true love.
