-
Atypical
It is the story of an autistic teenager Sam looking for a girlfriend and independence from his mother. Atypical attempts to create humour from the self-discovery process of its characters. This makes the show bold and different from all the other sitcoms. It has drama, emotion and just the perfect amount of funny moments.
-
New Girl
New Girl follows the journey of a middle school teacher, Jess, living in an apartment with three guys. It humorously explores the lives of four thirty-something people trying to make it in the world.

-
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
The life of Jake Peralta, a talented but irresponsible cop, turns around when a new serious, no-nonsense captain, Raymond Holt is posted at his precinct.

-
The Good Place
The Good Place is a satirical take on the age-old concept of heaven and hell. Eleanor, a morally corrupt woman, ends up in “The Good Place” (synonymous with heaven in the show). Soon, she realizes that’s not where she is meant to be. Her strategies to fit in adds fun to the show. This sitcom owes its success to a well-written premise, brilliant acting and quirky dialogues.
-
Modern Family
Modern family traces the life of Jay Pritchett and her two children: Claire and Micheal. Writing is brilliant especially when it comes to using complicated relationships for generating humour. Phil’s-Osophy by Phil Dunphy (Claire’s husband) became so popular that it is now a published book.
-
Two And A Half Men
Charlie is a playboy living a carefree, bachelor’s life until his recently divorced brother Alan and his son Jake moves-in with him. Two And A Half Men’s humour is based on misery and complicated family relationships. It is a simple, one-time watch sitcom with occasional snappy punchlines.
-
2 Broke Girls
2 Broke Girls is based on the theme of opposites attract but with a twist of friendship. Caroline is rich, poised and knowledgeable whereas Max is street-smart. These two together are one hell of a funny combination. 2 Broke Girls stands out because of its feminist approach, smart writing and witty one-liners.
