Looking for a laugh? Here’s a selection of TV shows on KrisWorld for a generous dose of humour.


Scrubs (2026) 

Created by Bill Lawrence, medical sitcom Scrubs makes its comeback 16 years after signing off — and it’s bringing back J.D. (Zach Braff) for more fun. Still goofy, still gifted, he’s found his way back to his old stomping ground, Sacred Heart Hospital.

But J.D. is a changed man. Newly divorced from Elliot (Sarah Chalke), he’s now the hospital’s Chief of Medicine, stepping into the shoes of his old mentor, the ever-sardonic Dr Cox (John C. McGinley).

Running an entire hospital is no small feat, especially with this crew: best friend Turk (Donald Faison) and his wife Carla (Judy Reyes), both now department heads; a fresh batch of wide-eyed interns; and Elliot herself, back in the mix. J.D. and Turk used to be Sacred Heart’s resident troublemakers — so now that they’re older, are they wiser too? Spoiler: not really. And honestly, we wouldn’t want it any other way.

Abbott Elementary 

The staff of Abbott Elementary are back for a fifth season, and they’re facing their biggest challenges yet.

For starters, the school building itself seems to be staging a revolt: a gas leak and a laundry list of structural issues force the staff to get creative just to keep class in session. Off the clock, things aren’t much steadier — cracks start to show in the budding romance between Janine (Quinta Brunson) and Gregory (Tyler James Williams). Meanwhile, a new Abbott Elementary educator, Dominic (Luke Tennie), who’s Barbara’s (Sheryl Lee Ralph) former student, struggles to adapt to the tough reality of teaching.

Chaos aside, Abbott Elementary remains as heartwarming as it is hilarious, with its teachers often going to ridiculous lengths — mischief, mishaps, and mild humiliation included — to give their kids the best shot they can.

Abbott Elementary

A workplace comedy following a group of dedicated, passionate teachers — and a slightly tone-deaf principal —as they navigate the Philadelphia public school system. Despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life, and though these incredible public servants may be outnumbered and underfunded, they love what they do — even if they don’t love the school district’s less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children.

The Studio

To say Matt Remick (Seth Rogen) loves movies is a massive understatement — he deeply appreciates the artistry involved in filmmaking and is obsessed with the artists involved in the process.

And yet, scoring his dream gig as the head of Continental Studios might just turn into his biggest nightmare. His daily struggle? Keeping the corporate overlords thrilled while desperately trying to make actual art. In an industry where cash grabs rule and bottom lines dictate the slate, Matt and his team of endlessly bickering executives chase the impossible dream of making something that truly matters.

Co-created by Rogen and his creative partner Evan Goldberg, The Studio navigates a minefield of narcissistic artists and money-hungry suits. The show boasts a powerhouse ensemble featuring the late Catherine O’Hara, Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz, and Chase Sui Wonders, backed by epic cameos from heavyweights like Martin Scorsese, Charlize Theron, and Bryan Cranston. Razor-sharp and wildly entertaining, this Emmy-winning series is a hilarious love letter to cinema that takes immense pleasure in tearing Hollywood apart.

As someone who eats, sleeps and breathes movies, it’s the job Matt’s been pursuing his whole life, and it may very well destroy him.

Rooster

What’s a pulp novelist to do when his daughter’s marriage spectacularly implodes? If you’re Greg Russo (Steve Carell), you follow her to college.

After his daughter Katie’s husband leaves her for a grad student — and she accidentally burns down a faculty house in the bitter fallout — Greg bluffs his way into a writer-in-residence gig at Ludlow College just to keep an eye on her for the semester.

Brought to you by Bill Lawrence (the mastermind behind Ted Lasso and Scrubs), Rooster is poised to be your next feel-good obsession. Watch as Greg, aka ‘Rooster’ — a lowbrow author of cheesy thrillers so nicknamed after the protagonist of his novels — navigates rowdy frat parties, ruthless academic politics, and the ultimate challenge of being a supportive dad. Expect the same infectious warmth, gentle humour, and cosy charm that made Ted Lasso a global phenomenon.

McGinley) – all while contending with his own personal and professional insecurities. Sharp and empathetic, Rooster explores the complexities of Greg and Katie’s father-daughter relationship as they each grapple with their emotional baggage and learn to lean on one another.

The Comeback 

As Valerie Cherish would say, “Hello, hello, hello!” Lisa Kudrow is back as the delightfully relentless sitcom star, and yes, she is making yet another comeback. Having brilliantly tackled the rise of reality TV in 2005 and the streaming boom in 2014, Valerie’s swansong takes on her biggest, most modern adversary yet: artificial intelligence.

This time around, Valerie must navigate starring in an AI-generated comedy pushed by NuNet’s ruthlessly villainous studio exec Brandon (played with icy brilliance by Andrew Scott). With traditional documentary crews swapped out for smartphone social media content and human writers replaced by algorithms, this third season serves as a bittersweet, deliberately cringe-inducing goodbye. Co-written by Kudrow and Michael Patrick King, it’s a brilliant and fitting tribute to a cult classic two decades in the making.

SpongeBob SquarePants

Across more than 25 years, a lot has happened to our favourite yellow sponge. Since its debut in 1999, SpongeBob SquarePants has become an indelible part of pop culture, spawning 16 full seasons, six feature-length films, and countless meme-worthy moments.

You’d think that the show would have run out of fun after airing for more than two decades. But if Season 15 is anything to go by, there’s nothing to worry about. The antics here are as delightfully absurd as ever — from Squidward’s misfortunes and Mrs Puff’s ongoing struggles with SpongeBob’s driving skills to Plankton’s never-ending attempts to steal the Krabby Patty formula.

Some things change, but Bikini Bottom’s chaos remains the same.

Whether looking for the ultimate spatula to perfect his burger flipping or just floating along with his friends, SpongeBob and his good intentions and overzealous attitude are always landing him in hot water.
