Reddit Picked 5 Perfect Sitcoms to Binge Instead of The Big Bang Theory
Because Sheldon Cooper’s shenanigans can sometimes be too much.
There’s nothing more entertaining in the world of TV than a sitcom. You can just turn on a funny ensemble cast show and just chill for several hours while the characters go on with their bizarre storylines that will definitely make you laugh.
For many of us one of the most rewatchable sitcoms has been The Big Bang Theory, but redditors suggest you pay enough attention to these 5 shows instead.
1. New Girl ( 2011-2018)
For fans of quirky characters, this sitcom is a perfect choice. When a young girl named Jess finds out that her boyfriend is a cheater, she has to move out and start a new life on her own. But instead – she ends up in a loft with three single guys.
Needless to say, they all have their cringeworthy traits, and together they form the most dysfunctional group you can imagine. Anyway, somehow they make it work. But how long will they all last together? The sitcom offers viewers a lot of funny adventures and complicated love stories.
2. The Good Place ( 2016-2020)
What happens after you die? The main characters of this brilliant sitcom are about to find out in the most terrifying way. After being unlucky enough to die in a series of stupid circumstances, four young people end up in "the other world" called the Good Place. The place is supposed to be some kind of heaven, but our guys soon realize that this isn't exactly true...
Eleanor, Chidi, and others have to find a way to turn things around to actually become good people and find their true good place (not just on paper). But in order to do that, they have to make a deal with a demon.
3. Community ( 2009-2015)
If you haven't seen at least one episode of the show, you'll never understand why it has such a huge following, ready to defend it against any hater. The show ran for 6 seasons and made every episode full of meta-humor. In fact, all the references and pop culture clichés and tropes are what made the show so popular.
The show revolves around the life of a suspended lawyer who is forced to enroll in a community college after it is discovered that he faked his degree.
“It’s hilarious, and, the way I see it, it shows different manifestations of the human psyche, most often in hyperbole to truly get the point across. I find that it is teaching me, and as someone with autism, I'm absorbing this shit like a sponge. I can see different parts of myself in a lot of the characters, especially Abed. I could even say this show is therapeutic,” Redditor liamguy165 said.
4. Parks and Recreation ( 2009-2015)
There's something about workplace comedy that makes you really addicted. Like, once you've seen The Office, there's no turning back. But after binging Parks and Rec, you'll literally become obsessed.
The sitcom follows the life of an Indiana Parks and Recreation Department staffed by employees so different from one another that you can't help but enjoy their quirky daily antics. Led by the only person who believes in the future of the department, Leslie Knope, the series goes through the ups and downs of working in the government structure.
5. Happy Endings (2011-2020)
Set in Chicago, the series follows the lives of six young urbanites trying to learn the ropes of adulthood. Through breakups and whatever other curve-balls life throws at them, the pals stick together, no matter how dysfunctional their friendship is.
