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


Abbott Elementary S4
The Emmy-winning Abbott Elementary continues to find big laughs in the very real challenges of underfunded classrooms and overworked teachers, all without losing its heart. 

Set in a public, predominantly black school in Philadelphia, the series expertly balances laugh-out-loud comedy with pointed commentary on the education system, tackling everything from the pitfalls of remote learning to the chaos of disease outbreaks. In Season 4, the school faces a new existential threat: a golf course being built alarmingly close to its premises.


Meanwhile, fan-favourite will-they-won’t-they couple Janine (Quinta Brunson) and Gregory (Tyler James Williams) must figure out how to be together both inside and outside the classroom after finally crossing the line in Season 3.

What keeps Abbott Elementary so compelling, even four seasons in, is its sincerity. The jokes land because the characters genuinely care about one another, and that warmth shines through in every episode.

Young Sheldon S1
Before The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper was just a precocious kid trying to survive small-town Texas in the ’80s and ’90s. Young Sheldon introduces us to a nine-year-old genius (Iain Armitage) whose towering intellect regularly complicates everyday life — usually with hilarious results. 

But the show’s secret weapon is its ensemble. Sheldon’s family — including his steadfast mother Mary (Zoe Perry), football-coach father George Sr (Lance Barber), street-smart older brother Georgie (Montana Jordan), and sharp-tongued twin sister Missy (Raegan Revord) — are fully realised characters, not just foils for Sheldon’s brilliance.

Nostalgic, heartfelt, and consistently funny, Young Sheldon grows into a beloved family sitcom about being different, growing up, and finding your place. Even better, it works perfectly well whether or not you've ever watched The Big Bang Theory.

Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage
Fresh off the recently concluded Young Sheldon, Georgie (Montana Jordan) and Mandy (Emily Osment) step into the spotlight with a sitcom whose title feels equal parts hopeful and ominous. Set in ’90s Texas, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage rewinds the clock on Sheldon’s older brother long before he becomes the self-styled “Tire King of Texas”. 

Shot multi-cam in front of a live studio audience, the series embraces classic sitcom rhythms while finding plenty of heart in its young-family dynamics. Jordan is effortlessly charming as Georgie, a new dad doing his best to figure life out, and brings warmth, earnestness, and spot-on comic timing to the show one laugh track at a time.

The Paper
A spinoff of the American version of The Office, this series takes the camera away from paper salesmen to the people who make papers worth reading. The premise is simple: the same documentary crew that once worked with Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch finds a new story — an editor-in-chief trying to revive a dying small town newspaper. It uses the mockumentary format to mine newsroom shenanigans — even mundane ones — for humour.  

Surprisingly moving, sharp, and smart, The Paper is the rare TV sequel that does its predecessor justice.

Ted Lasso
What started as a joke sketch became one of television’s most uplifting and comforting comedies. Jason Sudeikis stars as the relentlessly optimistic Ted Lasso, an American football coach who joins struggling English soccer club AFC Richmond — even though he knows nothing about the sport. Turns out, he was hired as a revenge ploy by the football club’s new owner, Rebecca Welton (Hannah Waddingham), to sabotage the team. The reverse twist? He ends up transforming them.

Over three acclaimed seasons, Ted’s trademark warmth and belief in people turn doubters into friends and underdogs into winners. Created by Bill Lawrence (Scrubs) and Sudeikis himself, this Emmy-sweeping hit blends heart, humour, and hope — proving that kindness really is a winning strategy.
