Shows that feel likeSpace Force (2020–2022)

A four-star general begrudgingly teams up with an eccentric scientist to get the U.S. military's newest agency — Space Force — ready for lift-off.

If you loved Space Force, the closest series we have are Vice Principals (2016), Russian Doll (2019) and Parks and Recreation (2009). All three share Space Force'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 Veep (2012).

The same mix in both: wit, then play

The difference: Trades the stillness of Space Force for an angle of its own

Both are working the same pair: satire, workplace comedy

The difference: Easier on the stillness than Space Force

In an attempt to beautify her town — and advance her career — Leslie Knope, a mid-level bureaucrat in the Parks and Recreation Department of Pawnee, Indiana, takes on bureaucrats, cranky neighbors, and single-issue fanatics whose weapons are lawsuits, the jumble of city codes, and the democratic process she loves so much.

One thread runs through both: amused

The difference: Made in the 1980s, in a different era of the craft

Al Bundy is an unsuccessful middle aged shoe salesman with a miserable life and an equally dysfunctional family. He hates his job, his wife is lazy, his son is dysfunctional (especially with women), and his daughter is dim-witted and promiscuous.

Both keep coming back to the same thing: satire

A British sketch comedy series with the shows being composed of surreality, risqué or innuendo-laden humour, sight gags and observational sketches without punchlines.

Witty comedy, and it commits to that
