For fans of That '70s Show, it's been one of the most influential sitcoms of all time. And now we have a sequel. That '90s Show picks up the story 15 years after the original series, focusing on Eric (Topher Grace) and Donna's (Laura Prepon) daughter, Leia (Callie Haverda). The series kicks off with Leia arriving at her grandparents' house in Wisconsin and meeting a new group of fellow teens. After she decides to spend the summer there, Leia gets a rollercoaster coming-of-age ride, with romance, laughter, and, um, Eric's stash. It's a fun update to the franchise, with great characters, plenty of 90s references, and a funny and engaging story that's sure to be a new classic. - Remus Noronha

Matt Groening is known to audiences primarily (and almost exclusively) for his work on adult animated sitcoms like The Simpsons and Futurama. With Disenchantment, Groening presents something somewhat different. It's still an animated comedy targeted towards mature audiences with its fair share of satire, crude humor, and zany situations, but it's also a sequential story without a magic reset button, which is what sets the show apart from the other two mentioned above. Set in a medieval fairytale world, the show pokes fun at the tropes and common aspects of the fantasy genre, with a badass hard-drinking princess who has never been a damsel in distress in her life. Princess Tiabeanie aka Bean (Abbi Jacobson) is the aforementioned princess and the story begins when she meets the naive elf Elfo (Nat Faxon), which is the start of a series of adventures she goes on with her diminutive companion and her "personal demon" Luci (Eric Andr). Again, unlike Groening's previous work, there is a rather interesting story that develops over time, involving rival kingdoms, secret cabals, and hidden magical abilities that may be a gift or a curse. Come for the swearing and graphic violence, stay for the mystery, plot, and biting sarcasm.- Remus Noronha

Most people who aren't all that familiar with anime tend to think it's all about action, drama, and magical girls. However, there are a whole lot of great slice-of-life comedy anime out there, quite a few of which are available on Netflix. The Way of the Househusband is easily one of the best. This series is a light, relaxing watch, with humor that touches on the more commonplace and mundane things in life rather than high-stakes conflicts. The series is centered on Tatsu (Kenjiro Tsuda), a former yakuza who now lives as a dedicated househusband, married to a hard-working young woman named Miku (Shizuka Itō). A lot of the comedy comes from the fact that Tatsu approaches household chores with the same mindset that made him the most feared yakuza in the city. This is the perfect show for when you just want to sit back and relax, and it's also chock-full of useful hacks you could try out around the house. Oh, and there's also a cute (and mischievous) cat involved.- Remus Noronha

A Series of Unfortunate Events is a show for those who prefer their comedies dry and black. The series isn't so much funny as it is witty, with the cartoonishly evil Count Olaf (as played by a singing, dancing, and terrible-disguise-wearing Neil Patrick Harris) being a particular standout. The show is based on the novel series of the same name by Lemony Snicket, following the misadventures of the tragically orphaned Baudelaire children. As the title suggests, the story puts the children through a number of terrible scenarios as they are hounded for their fortune by the evil Count Olaf and his cronies. Through it all, the children look to the adults in their life for help, only to be dismissed and condescended to. With great performances, a tightly-written story, and the perfect mix of tragedy and comedy, this is a series that's a wild ride from start to finish.- Remus Noronha

The absurd sketch comedy troupe Monty Python are icons of British comedy. Whether it's their ridiculous take on the Arthurian legend in Monty Python and the Holy Grail or their epic period story Life of Brian (which just so happens to occur parallelly to the life of Christ), Monty Python's work is always just as smart as it is silly. And if either of those movies are among your humorous favorites, then Monty Python's Flying Circus should definitely be on your watchlist. Hilarious, bold, and with a biting sense of satire, the series is a showcase of the group and their best work, both as individuals and as a troupe. When you watch this show, it's easy to see how Monty Python went on to inspire some the greatest names in comedy, from Douglas Adams to Lorne Michaels. - Remus Noronha

Rowan Atkinson is easily one of the world's most recognizable comedians, and Mr. Bean is a big reason why. Of course, it has been some years since Atkinson last played Bean in live-action but fans of the actor (and the iconic character) have reason to rejoice now. Man vs. Bee captures all the great physical comedy of the Bean franchise and throws in some emotional depth for good measure. Atkinson stars as Trevor Bingley, a divorced house-sitter and father who is assigned to take care of a rich couple's house for a week. Unfortunately, a bee gets into the home and proceeds to set Trevor off on a mad-cap journey filled with crazy antics. - Remus Noronha

Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin have been icons of the industry since the 60s. Put those two together and you get one of the best Netflix shows ever. Grace and Frankie reunited the 9 to 5 stars as a classic odd couple who are forced to live with each other after their husbands reveal that a) they're gay, b) they're divorcing them, and c) they're getting married. Fonda's Grace Hanson is a tightly-wound no-nonsense businesswoman with a bit of a drinking problem and Tomlin's Frankie Bergstein is the direct opposite, a lovable, pot-smoking, bohemian free spirit. The series explores the evolution of their relationship from barely tolerating each other to not being able to imagine a life apart. The show is hilarious and equally emotional, dealing with serious themes like mortality, illness, and finding purpose. No wonder it's Netflix's longest show ever. - Remus Noronha

Five Derry teens navigate life, love and Catholic school in this offbeat comedy set against the backdrop of the political instability of the '90s in Northern Ireland. Bridgerton fans will recognize Nicola Coughlan as part of the cast's well-oiled comedy machine. She plays Clare. You don't have to be Irish to enjoy this show -- being a Derry Girl is a state of mind, as Jamie-Lee O'Donnell's character, Michelle, says in one of the show's many iconic lines. You can watch all three seasons on Netflix now.

Before he was a theoretical physicist, Sheldon Cooper was a boy genius living in East Texas. This "Big Bang Theory" spin-off follows him and the rest of the Cooper family in their small town of Medford in the late 1980s, as 10-year-old Sheldon navigates high school. The original Sheldon, Jim Parsons, narrates each episode. You can watch seasons 1-6 on Netflix, with season 7 airing live now on CBS.

Korean-Canadian family Mr. and Mrs. Kim and their 20-year-old daughter, Janet, run a local convenience store in Toronto. Between customers, friends and family turbulence -- Simu Lim plays the Kims' estranged son, Jung -- the series is offbeat and funny in unexpected ways. You can watch all five seasons now.

Who could've predicted that running the last Blockbuster rental store on Earth would be so difficult? After the chain officially closes, store manager Timmy (played by Randall Park of Fresh Off The Boat) fights to keep the store open with his employees. The cast includes Melissa Fumero of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and comedian J.B. Smoove, and they all nail the witty, fun dialogue. You can watch the first season now.

Everywhere you look, classic shows are being rebooted, and '90s fan-favorite Full House is no exception. With the original cast back, grown up and with kids of their own, the five-season show follows the Tanner sisters, D.J. and Stephanie, alongside their kooky neighbor Kimmy Gibbler in adventures that echo the original show's mix of comedy and heart.

Comedy shows have been a core component of television for decades. From the classic sitcoms of the old days to modern productions that re-examine humor and challenge audiences, comedy TV series have been keeping up with the times as a form of entertainment that will seemingly keep standing strong as time goes by and other genres expand. People love comedy for many reasons. For one, they offer us a chance to escape from reality for a little while. You don't have to think too much to watch a comedy series and, on days when everything gets overwhelming, they are the perfect choice to have a good laugh and forget about your responsibilities, losing yourself in the crazy situations that the main characters of the show are living.
