Looking for a laugh? Here’s a selection of TV shows on KrisWorld for a generous dose of humour.
Loot
In this breezy, feel-good comedy, Maya Rudolph shines as Molly Wells, a freshly divorced billionaire who decides to reinvent herself by doing charity work — even if she has absolutely no clue how the real world works. Cue awkward board meetings, hilarious culture clashes, and a foundation staff full of lovable misfits just trying to survive her chaos. It’s part workplace comedy, part fish-out-of-water adventure, and 100% laugh-out-loud fun as Molly discovers that doing good can be just as chaotic (and hilarious) as being rich.
Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage
The Big Bang Theory universe just got bigger (and funnier). Picking up after Young Sheldon, this sitcom follows Georgie Cooper (Montana Jordan) and Mandy McAllister (Emily Osment) as they navigate young parenthood. Watch them juggle diapers, marriage, and all the drama of ’90s Texas life.
With Georgie stumbling through teen fatherhood and Mandy rolling her eyes every step of the way, it’s sweet, nostalgic, and delightfully awkward. Filmed in classic sitcom style with a live studio audience, it’s got the heart of Young Sheldon and the laughs of Big Bang.
Arrested Development
When a wealthy family finds their affluent existence upended, what can they do? Arrested Development, which ran for three critically acclaimed seasons in the 2000s before being revived for two seasons in the last decade, shows what happens when the rich must live like everyone else.
With their coffers emptied, the dysfunctional Bluth family have to shake off their over-the-top lifestyle and eccentricities. Now, it’s up to their responsible son Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman) to keep them afloat. Despite Michael’s desperate attempts to keep the family together, it’s his siblings — Gob (Will Arnett), materialistic twin sister Lindsay (Portia de Rossi), and anxious younger brother Buster (Tony Hale) — along with his conniving mother Lucille (the late Jessica Walter) who create mess after mess for him to clean up.
Come for the rich-people-go-broke hijinks, stay for the stellar cast and inside jokes.
The Studio
This Apple TV+ series, one of the best shows of the year, offers a behind-the-scenes look at the chaotic, creative, and often absurd world of Hollywood.
Set in a fictional studio struggling to survive in the age of streaming, the show follows a mismatched team of writers, producers, actors, and executives as they navigate egos, idiosyncrasies, and personal drama, all while trying to make the next big hit. At the forefront is Matt Remick (Seth Rogen), an amiable film nerd and Hollywood suit who is appointed the new head of Continental Studios, a Hollywood brand that’s respected yet struggling to make money. Joining Rogen in the cast is a host of comedic heavyweights like Ike Barinholtz and Catherine O’Hara. They are joined by celebrities, such as Dave Franco and Zoë Kravitz, who cameo as themselves.
With sharp dialogue, satirical humour, and moments of heartfelt sincerity, The Studio pulls back the curtain on showbiz to reveal both the glamour and the grind.
How I Met Your Mother
The nine seasons of How I Met Your Mother were not without controversy. But its main cast’s chemistry is undeniably amazing — something that’s pivotal for a hangout comedy like it. And it’s this chemistry that has made it one of the most rewatched sitcoms of the last two decades.
Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor) is a bumbling architect who’s a closet romantic. In episode one, an elderly Ted (Bob Saget) recounts to his children the story of how he met their mother. While fans voiced their displeasure with how the show fulfilled its day-one promise, the journey along the way became much more satisfying.
Loveable best friends, messy romantic pursuits, sharp writing, and snappy dialogue — yes, at its best, How I Met Your Mother contained all the essential ingredients of a fantastic hangout comedy. More than that, it was the show that filled the Friends-sized hole in comedy lovers’ hearts.
Friends
And speaking of Friends, there’s nothing truly like it. No other sitcom, save for Seinfeld and The Office, has enjoyed as much popularity and enduring appeal over the decades.
There can be many reasons, but Friends represented the ideal promise of sitcoms: familiarity, comfort, and laughs. For 10 seasons, Friends was a cultural phenomenon, making stars out of its six lead actors.
Twenty years since its finale, history has (mostly) been kind to Friends, whose hangout-comedy formula has inspired other shows such as The Big Bang Theory and Happy Endings.
