Reddit Picked 5 Sitcoms As Good As The Big Bang Theory (Young Sheldon Didn’t Make The List)

With such a wide variety of different shows in the industry, the creator of any new series should try to do everything possible to top the old ones that have already become cult classics.

The never-ending Reddit threads are full of requests to recommend more shows based on specific preferences. For example, which sitcoms are compatible with The Big Bang Theory? Redditors have their answers. And if you think the first show they're talking about is Young Sheldon, you're so wrong.

1. Silicon Valley

The show is loosely based on creator Mike Judge's own time in Silicon Valley when he worked there as an engineer. The story of the series revolves around Richard Hendricks, a shy and introverted computer programmer, and his nerdy friends as they try to create something innovative while being given all the money and opportunities. Viewers love the show for its compelling writing and geeky humor.

2. Community

Community is a sitcom that ran for six seasons and was based on Dan Harmon's time at Glendale Community College. For the setting of the show, Harmon decided to create a fictional town of Greendale and used his "story circle" method to write each episode.

The fandom of the show is huge, although most of them actually believe that most of the characters of Community are not very likable. However, what fans like most about the show is the meta-humor it uses.

3. Scrubs

This show can be perfect for so many diverse groups of fans because it can be described in so numerous ways: as a medical show, a workplace show, an ensemble cast show, a comedy, etc. Scrubs tells the overwhelming story of a gang of employees at the fictional Sacred Heart Hospital that specializes in turning interns into doctors. Most of the show revolves around the main character, John "J.D." Dorian and his ridiculously funny life.

4. Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Many fans have called Brooklyn Nine-Nine their favorite sitcom. Well, it's easy to see why they would say that, because a police comedy with such an amazingly well-matched cast is bound to end up on this "best sitcoms" list. The series follows a group of detectives as they try to live under the command of their new, very serious boss, Captain Raymond Holt.

5. The Good Place

Many people have recommended that fans of The Big Bang Theory watch this iconic show about the human afterlife. And it actually makes more sense than you may think.

“There aren't too many similarities (Cheedy is brilliant like Leonard,. Elenore is more street smart like Penny). But the whole series is written to make you think. Instead of string theory and subatomic particles it's morality and philosophical topics,” Redditor Sharyn11 said.
