@tsarstepan,
Thanks, actually I am watching Superstore and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, excited to give others a try. Hopefully I find one of these to my taste. Exited about sports night: Aaron Sorkin. Thank you. Smile
Have you watched all of these?

@peterhalloway,
The IT Crowd is ******* hilarious. It introduced my family to Richard Ayoade —and we’ve all been scouring the depths of the internet to find more of him.

He has one of the funniest travel man / food shows (Travel Man) wherein he and a friend/victim travel around eating unusual locale fare and cracking on it with smooth wit and sarcasm.

Last night, I was languishing in despondency —because I have, in fact, reached the end of the internet — when the gods smiled upon me and somehow led me to a youtube show called The Big Fat Quiz of Everything that features revolving comedians and Ayoade is one of them. I haven’t laughed this much in a year.

Laughter really is medicine.

———————
Sorry, not workplace, but had to riff on Ayoade.

@peterhalloway,
You should try Taxi. It also has a great cast, including Tony Danza, Chistopher Lloyd, Judd Hirsch and Danny DeVito.

@Lash,
Father Ted and Black Books have the same writers.

You could always check out my thread on British and Irish comedy.

@izzythepush,
Done! There's one I've seen about three or so nurses in a ward for geriatrics or something? I can't remember how to find it, but as bleak as the plot sounds, I laughed a lot. Ring a bell?

Shrill on Hulu. Pretty tight for American-produced.
