There is a new show on Comedy Central called "Detroiters" which stars Tim Robinson from SNL and Sam Richardson from "Veep".
"Detroiters follows two best friends, Tim Cramblin (Tim Robinson) and Sam Duvet (Veep’s Sam Richardson), who are partners in a local advertising agency with the worst possible name: Cramblin-Duvet. Tim inherited the agency from his father, a Don Draper-type who made national ads for Delta and Budweiser before going insane, but Tim and Sam produce ads for locals like “Big Stan the Carpet Man.” The pilot sees the two attempting to pitch an executive from Chrysler (David Sudeikis), but though they fail spectacularly, Detroiters is not cringe comedy. It’s silly and often very funny, but it aspires (a la Broad City) to just follow two friends who get into hilariously oddball situations, but end up ok (if not exactly living their dream)."
Last nights episode was laugh out loud funny

when Charlie stepped in dog shit I woke my wife up out of a sound sleep from laughing.
one of the few sitcoms that endures time. I think maybe it's because they have short seasons.
agree, and it's rare for a show in season 12 to have an all-time great episode.
I'd put the Wade Boggs episode in top 5 - 10 too and that was fairly recent.
Teachers can be very funny, Superstore was just picked up for season 3.
Some others I've watched recently:
Marcella - Netflix
The Night Manager - Amazon
The Missing - Starz - season 1 was fantastic, season 2 just started
Goliath - Amazon
VERY funny show. Returns April 28th

I liked Dirk Gently but it's hard for me to classify. I guess it could be a comedy. Odd though.
I like Superstore a lot. The Goldbergs is still my favorite comedy right now.
the big lady (assistant manager?) is Dwight, the two who want to hook up are Pam and Jim, the store manager is Michael Scott, the guy in the wheel chair is Ryan, the gay guy is Toby, and the other role players map to other role players.
I like it.

Dina is totally Dwight. Usually a jerk, follows the rules to a fault, occasionally surprisingly nice. Although I'd argue Sandra is more Toby (the Asian woman), the one they all pick on, though this season the focus has been her "romance" with the bald district manager. It's no coincidence, the creator was executive producer of the Office.
I can't wait for the new season of Catastrophe. The two leads have such great chemistry and timing, it basically makes the whole show for me.

reminds me of the office (US) a little with the ensemble cast.

Dina was also one of the Bellacourt sisters, Hortense (the in-joke there is every year a new actress plays Hortense), in Another Period on Comedy Channel. That's also another real funny show.
Good eye. And yes very funny show. The father (Dave Koechner) is now on a CBS show called "Superior Donuts" with Katey Segal and Judd Hirsch that is decent.
You can count the number of comedies I have watched regularly on the fingers of one hand, "Seinfeld", "Two and a Half Men (With Sheen)", "Everybody Loves Raymond", the first few seasons of "Big Bang Theory"...and I can't think of any others and those are no longer on - well, as new shows - except Big Bang, but that's kinda ran it's course and morphed into something I don't find funny anymore.
There is one comedy that I still watch religiously though, that would be "Archer" - the greatest spy since James Bond...lol
I loved Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, but I also really enjoyed the original books as well when they were first released. The new TV series is not really a comedy, though it is often very funny. It's a very quirky show, with many twists and turns that basically make it impossible to predict what will happen next. Very much in the spirit of Douglas Adam's writings. I can't wait for Season 2!
Daddy and The Boy this week made me laugh harder than I have in a while.
I think the 2nd season is coming soon. I can't wait for it
