Answer: There are many great comedies out there all with different styles of humour and different settings. What ones you’ll like really depends on your interests and what you find funny. However there are three main comedy TV series that I would recommend to anyone looking for something funny to watch
The Big Bang Theory is a comedy series created by Chuck Lorre. It is the story of four ‘geeky’ friends, who are all scientists working at the same university. The show is about their lives and the everyday struggles of being a socially awkward genius and trying to get a girl. Every episode is hilarious, the humour having been subtly woven into the plot of the show, rather than the characters making obviously intended jokes.
The IT Crowd is another great comedy TV series. It was written by Graham Linehan and is about a woman who gets a job working in the IT department of a well-known company. It follows her story as she meets the two men already working there and the many humorous situations the trio manage to get themselves into. The shows humour stile is not unlike that of The big Bang Theory, however the two series are quite different and are both worth giving a watch.
Brooklyn nine-nine is also a very funny comedy series, but is quite different from the other two shows. The show, created by Daniel J. Goor, is set in the 99th precinct of the New York Police Department and features a team of police detectives. Each episode is very entertaining as the characters attempt to solve different cases, as well as deal with their personal lives and love interests.
There are many more great comedy series out there that are certainly worth giving a try, but I would definitely recommend trying any or all of the three shows mentioned above. Each is hilarious and a great place to start when looking for a comedy to watch.
