“Brooklyn Nine-Nine” pursues the escapades of the hilarious detective Jake Peralta and his diverse, lovable collaborators as they police the NYPD’s 99th Precinct. This involves a perfectly assembled cast of unforgettable characters, a pinch of workplace romance, and plenty of zippy dialogue.
The Nine-Nine shows that the day-to-day life in a police precinct is much more exciting than pushing paper, and in the deadpan department with head Captain Raymond Holt, the show has a comedy hero for all ages.
Everybody Loves Raymond
The show was created by Philip Rosenthal and aired from 1996 to 2005, with a total of 210 episodes spanning over nine entertaining seasons. So, who doesn't love "Everybody Loves Raymond"? Apparently, more people than you'd expect!
Despite the show's iconic status, many reject Raymond. But, fans say the show is one of the genre's standouts and its humor still holds today, over two decades after its inception. "Everybody Loves Raymond" isn't about silly punchlines, but about real-life, human situations and that's what makes it exceptional.
The Good Place
This show follows Eleanor, an average woman who enters the afterlife, and thanks to some kind of mistake; she is sent to "The Good Place" instead of where she belongs - the Bad Place. As she hides in plain sight from Good Place Architect Michael, she's determined to shed her old way of living and secure her place.
The afterlife-set comedy constantly reinvented itself over four seasons, yet always felt like there was some direction. By the time we finally had to say goodbye to the beautiful cast – the farewell episode proved to be one of the all-time grand sitcom finales.
Community
"Community" is a situational comedy that makes fun of the fact that it's a sitcom. The show ran from 2005-2014 on NBC and never failed to make their audience laugh. Their jokes and references always land well, driving them to gain a fiercely loyal fanbase. As a new show, it was very self-aware, often having fun with classic television clichés and tropes.
Dan Harmon created the show, "Community" which caters to an audience that appreciates this kind of humor and is a fresh change of pace.
Black-ish
Let's be honest, sitcoms are seeing a decline in quality these days, but "Black-ish" is an exception and is perhaps one of the best sitcoms on television today. It's a funny show that hits on current and social issues rather well. Anthony Anderson is the star of the show, but his children are also great characters. The story is about an upper-middle-class African-American family, with each character having his own separate identity.
The jokes are moving, and themes are continually culturally relevant. It's a bright spot in the oversaturated TV market today.
