The only thing I want to do after a long day is dissociate with 2+ hours of TV, so I’ve assembled a list of 10 sitcoms for you to peruse at your leisure. All of these sitcoms have aired their final episode, so you don’t have to worry about waiting a whole week for the next episode to drop. You’re probably familiar with all of these shows, but if you’re not, consider this your sign to start watching.

And if you’ve already seen all of these shows, try rewatching. Or go outside, because you watch too much TV.

One: Schitt’s Creek (2015), streaming on Prime

A wealthy family loses everything, except a town named “Schitts’ Creek” they once bought as a joke.

Two: The Nanny (1993), streaming on Prime

A street-smart gal (Fran Drescher) from Queens becomes the Nanny for a wealthy, handsome man’s three precocious children. Fran Drescher is a queen, but the true star of this show is Niles the Butler (Daniel Davis, who should have been cast in way more stuff) and his ever-ready supply of brutal quips.

Three: BBC’s Ghosts (2019), streaming on Paramount+

A young couple inherit a stately mansion that just so happens to be haunted by a gaggle of ghosts. Brought to you by the guys who made “Horrible Histories,” a children’s show that had no right to be as entertaining as it is.

Four: Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013), streaming on Netflix

Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) is an immature detective who clashes with the new, uptight police chief (the late and great Andre Braugher). The main cast is a lot of fun to watch, but I’ve always had a soft spot for the quirky guest stars, like Tim Meadows as Caleb the friendly cannibal.

Five: Superstore (2015), streaming on Hulu

A group of employees at a Walmart-style store do their best to survive their mundane jobs. My biggest regret about this show ending is that Lauren Ash has not found another TV show worthy of her talents (although anyone missing Mark McKinney should check him out in the underrated “Man Seeking Woman“). And now that I’ve looked up America Ferrera, someone needs to cast her in another “Barbie”-style movie because she’s incredible.

Six: Parks and Recreation (2009), streaming on Peacock

Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) is an eternally optimistic government worker at the Parks and Recreation Department in the small town of Pawnee, Illinois. I once asked my dad, who worked in city government for 30 years, which department was the worst run, and he said it was the Parks and Recreation Department, so enjoy that thought while watching!

Seven: Young Sheldon (2017), streaming on Netflix

“The Big Bang Theory” is cringeworthy, but this wholesome spin-off about a young genius growing up in East Texas is worth a watch. I started watching this show on a lark when helping Bean recover from her hospitalization in spring of 2023, and it was one of those shows that made some of those long days feel a little shorter.

Eight: The Golden Girls (1985), streaming on Hulu

Four “older” women (if you think 50s are old) live together in a retirement community in Florida, doing their bad thang. Not only is this show hilarious (and if you meet someone who likes it, that’s a sign they are a good person), but this show holds a fascinating place in queer culture that would interest any historian.

Nine: 30 Rock, streaming Hulu

In a live-action show that is as close to a cartoon as possible, a writer for a SNL-style show (Tina Fey) becomes the unlikely mentee of the new network executive (Alec Baldwin). Since this show debuted, other Tina Fey projects like “Great News,” “The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” and “Girls5eva” have done a decent job of filling the 30-rock-shaped hole in my heart.

Ten: Letterkenny (2016), streaming on Hulu

Wayne (played by creator Jared Keeso) lives in the small town of Letterkenny, Ontario, and gets into shenanigans with the hicks, jocks, and skids. The impressive wordplay and lack of small-town stereotypes make this weird but hilarious show worth watching.

So, readers, what are your favorite shows to unwind with? I had to limit this list to ten, but I know I’ve missed a few shows that could have been included, so comment your favorites, and we’ll see if this list can have a part 2
