The IT Crowd
Consistently funny and inventive, this aptly titled UK sitcom centers around a group of misanthrope IT workers who work in the basement of a massive corporation, only leaving to go upstairs and fix computers by unplugging them and then plug them back in again.
The fizzy chemistry between the trio of loners makes for a clever laugh. It may only sound slightly interesting, but this gang manages to get into all sorts of buffoonery, mainly thanks to them all being especially reclusive and unequipped to socialize.
Fleabag
A poignant look into the mind of a dry-witted, passionate, grief-riddled woman trying to make sense of the world around her. The situations are intense, with every single character being profoundly flawed, and the lead character gives an impeccable performance.
Whether she's struggling to stay sane after the death of her best friend or struggling with temptation in a relationship, she's vulnerable, convincing, and incredibly entertaining. Her fourth-wall-breaking asides to the camera are also brilliant.
One Day at a Time
This is such a particular show; their own streaming service mourned its cancelation — even though they were dropping the ax. "One Day at a Time" was reimagined for modern audiences and introduced the Alvarez family, whose Cuban roots suggested this wasn't going to be like the typical family sitcom.
But it's not the family's heritage and culture that made them different; it was the tremendous insight instilled at every turn. Tackling issues of racism, immigration, mental illness, and prejudice, the series embraced the flaws of our world with wide eyes and open arms.
The Golden Girls
Despite being a show about three mature ladies, the series soon gained widespread popularity across many demographics. To this day, "The Golden Girls" is considered a prime example of comedic genius. Not only was the casting spot on, but the script was sharp and inspired.
The show continued for seven seasons straight before Bea Arthur quit and so they could not continue without Dorothy, so production came to a close.
Gilligan's Island
The series created by mastermind Sherwood Schwartz reigned supreme for three seasons during the '60s, portraying the account of seven castaways trying to survive in the great, yet desolate outdoors as they have were shipwrecked on an uncharted island. "Gilligan's Island" garnered high ratings and has been described as hilarious.
Despite a critical blow, the show became a pop-culture sensation after it was released in syndication; and went on to spin off three TV movies.
