Shows that feel likeCommunity (2009–2015)

If you loved Community, the closest series we have are New Girl (2011), The Middle (2009) and Superstore (2015). All three share Community's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Flight of the Conchords (2007).

A misfit ensemble that becomes a found family through pure hangout chemistry

The difference: Runs on charm and romance, not parody — no concept episodes

Jessica Day is an offbeat and adorable girl in her late 20s who, after a bad breakup, moves in with three single guys. Goofy, positive, vulnerable and honest to a fault, Jess has faith in people, even when she shouldn't. Although she's dorky and awkward, she's comfortable in her own skin. More prone to friendships with women, she's not used to hanging with the boys—especially at home.

A dead-end institution redeemed by the weirdos stuck inside it

The difference: Plays it broader and warmer — the meta streak is missing

A hilarious workplace comedy about a unique family of employees at a super-sized mega store. From the bright-eyed newbies and the seen-it-all veterans to the clueless summer hires and the in-it-for-life managers, together they hilariously tackle the day-to-day grind of rabid bargain hunters, riot-causing sales and nap-worthy training sessions.

Basement-dwelling misfits, absurd escalation and jokes built for rewatching

The difference: Broad British farce in short seasons — no long character arcs

An ensemble of clashing egos whose bickering keeps landing on affection

The difference: Mockumentary family warmth — mainstream where Community is cult

The Pritchett-Dunphy-Tucker clan is a wonderfully large and blended family. They give us an honest and often hilarious look into the sometimes warm, sometimes twisted, embrace of the modern family.

An underdog narrating his own humiliations with perfect comic timing

The difference: Grounded period memoir — the surrealism stays out of it

Chris is a teenager growing up as the eldest of three children in Brooklyn, New York during the early 1980s. Uprooted to a new neighborhood and bused to a predominantly white middle school two-hours away by his strict, hard-working parents, Chris struggles to find his place while keeping his siblings in line at home and surmounting the challenges of junior high.

Both land wit and play at once

The trials and tribulations of a two man, digi-folk band who have moved from New Zealand to New York City in the hope of forging a successful music career. So far they've managed to find a manager (whose "other" job is at the New Zealand Consulate), one fan (a married obsessive) and one friend (who owns the local pawn shop) -- but not much else.

Social rules dissected until every petty grievance becomes a set piece

The difference: One abrasive man's show, improvised — no ensemble to root for

The off-kilter, unscripted comic vision of Larry David, who plays himself in a parallel universe in which he can't seem to do anything right, and, by his standards, neither can anyone else.

Comfort-food sitcom rhythm with a lead who never stops digging holes

The difference: A multi-cam throwback — zero irony about its own format

Life’s good for deliveryman Doug Heffernan, until his newly widowed father-in-law, Arthur, moves in with him and his wife Carrie. Doug is no longer the king of his domain, and instead of having a big screen television in his recently renovated basement, he now has a crazy old man.

Smart losers sabotaging their own shot at being taken seriously

The difference: Satire with a target — tech, not television itself

In the high-tech gold rush of modern Silicon Valley, the people most qualified to succeed are the least capable of handling success. Partially inspired by Mike Judge’s own experiences as a Silicon Valley engineer in the late ‘80s, Silicon Valley is an American sitcom that centers around six programmers who are living together and trying to make it big in the Silicon Valley.

A ridiculous premise played with real affection for its idiots

The difference: Cruder shock comedy — the cleverness is strictly optional

It's 1993 and Ted the bear's moment of fame has passed, leaving him living with his best friend, 16-year-old John Bennett, who lives in a working-class Boston home with his parents and cousin. Ted may not be the best influence on John, but when it comes right down to it, he's willing to go out on a limb to help his friend and his family.
