1. Friends
Arguably one of the most beloved sitcoms of all time, Friends (236 episodes) gave us a crew of six pals—Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), Ross (David Schwimmer), Monica (Courteney Cox), Chandler (Matthew Perry), Joey (Matt LeBlanc), and Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow)—navigating life and love in New York City.
Fun fact: The iconic fountain from the opening credits is actually located in Burbank, California—not in Central Park!
2. It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
If you enjoy watching bad people do worse things for a laugh, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (170+ episodes and counting) is perfect for you. This show features a gang of selfish, scheming friends, including Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton, Rob McElhenney, Kaitlin Olson, and Danny DeVito, who run an unsuccessful bar in Philly.
Fun fact: The pilot episode was shot for just $100, and it went on to become one of the longest-running live-action comedies ever!
3. Seinfeld
“The show about nothing,” Seinfeld (173 episodes) brilliantly captured the absurdity of everyday life through the lens of four quirky New Yorkers—Jerry Seinfeld, George (Jason Alexander), Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), and Kramer (Michael Richards).
Fun fact: None of the main characters were ever supposed to learn any moral lessons, and this unique approach became the show’s signature style.
4. The Office (US)
This mockumentary-style comedy about life in a mundane paper company became a cultural phenomenon. The Office (US) (201 episodes) starred Steve Carell as the bumbling boss Michael Scott, along with Rainn Wilson, John Krasinski, and Jenna Fischer.
Fun fact: The show was almost canceled after its first season, but an influx of viewers from iTunes downloads gave it a second chance!
5. Modern Family
Modern Family (250 episodes) brought a refreshing mockumentary style to the family sitcom genre, following the Pritchett-Dunphy-Tucker clan through various hilarious and heartwarming moments. With stars like Ed O’Neill, Sofia Vergara, and Ty Burrell, the show won numerous awards.
Fun fact: Rico Rodriguez, who played Manny, won over fans with his old-soul charm at just 11 years old when the show first aired.
6. The Big Bang Theory
For fans of nerdy humor, The Big Bang Theory (279 episodes) made science cool. Starring Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, and Kaley Cuoco, it follows the lives of socially awkward scientists and their adventures with love and friendship.
Fun fact: The writers consulted with real-life physicists to ensure the show’s scientific accuracy, making it both educational and entertaining!
7. Brooklyn Nine-Nine
This cop comedy took the typical procedural drama and flipped it on its head. Brooklyn Nine-Nine (153 episodes) features a hilarious cast led by Andy Samberg, Terry Crews, and Andre Braugher as a team of detectives in a Brooklyn precinct.
Fun fact: Despite being canceled by Fox after five seasons, fan outcry was so strong that NBC picked it up for three more seasons, proving the show’s popularity.
8. How I Met Your Mother
Narrated by an older Ted Mosby, How I Met Your Mother (208 episodes) tells the story of how he met his kids’ mother, through flashbacks of his friendships with Marshall (Jason Segel), Lily (Alyson Hannigan), Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), and Robin (Cobie Smulders).
Fun fact: The “Slap Bet” became one of the show’s most iconic recurring gags, with slaps delivered sporadically throughout the series’ run.
These sitcoms brought laughter, unforgettable characters, and witty writing that agreed with audiences across generations. Whether it’s the snarky remarks of The Golden Girls or the scientific humor of The Big Bang Theory, each show has earned its place in TV history. If you ask me, Seinfeld has to be my favourite.
