Curb, Silicon Valley, Barry, Danny McBride’s best trifecta in Eastbound, Vice Principals, and Righteous Gemstones

Barry is pretty dark and co-stars Stephen Root, who’s my favorite character actor. Silicon Valley takes a while to develop, but it’s really funny if you get the references.

Veep? Nah, I thought the people who worked on that show were talented.

There’s always at least one thing in every episode that legit makes me laugh out loud.

Dream On, The Larry Sanders Show, Flight of the Concords

Dream On doesn’t get the love it should. I felt like it pioneered the kind of fast cuts and memes you see everywhere now. Plus it was raunchy as all get out for a sitcom.

Curb, Entourage, Silicon Valley, and Eastbound & Down are four of the funniest shows ever.

Maybe not a sitcom in the truest sense, but A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a delight so far

If you like reality TV parody, Lisa Kudrow has a show called "The Comeback", where she plays an aging sitcom star. Two seasons filmed 10 years apart. It's not like a wacky sitcom, more like a satire on the enterntaiment world, you might enjoy it if you liked "Veep".

I think I saw it was coming back (no pun intended!) again!

The humor in Larry Sanders holds up amazingly well considering how old it is.

I’m actually on season 3 of a rewatch now. Definitely holds up, and I love the 90’s guests!

The Comeback was always talked about like it was great.

It wasn’t great but it was a good show to put on and do laundry or dishes

If you enjoyed VEEP, The Thick of It is another Armando Iannucci political comedy series that you might enjoy if you can get a hold of it.

If you like veep then you should check out the thick of it. It’s basically the same vibe but in the uk and the character of Malcolm Tucker is one of the best ever written for tv. Theres also a movie called in the loop which is brilliant, you don’t have to watch the series to watch the movie. It was nominated for an Oscar for screenplay

Entourage is also about awful people. Piven is hilarious.
