More sitcom recs

My husband and I are once again out of TV shows to watch. We recently finished binge watching most of the episodes of a few really good series:

Master of None
Silicon Valley 
Brooklyn 99
Peep Show
Inside Amy Schumer
Nathan for You

Now we yet again need a 30 minute sitcom to fill in the gap. We want something that's funny and that is no longer than 30 minutes.

Any recommendations?

Here are some other examples of sitcoms that we have both liked:
Seinfeld
The Simpsons
King of the hill
The office
Friends
30 rock
Futurama

Sitcoms we have tried watching and not liked:

Bobs Burgers 
Community 
Arrested development 

The series should be available on Netflix streaming or Hulu. Also, don't bother recommending the Big Bang theory, how I Met your mother, or modern family. Those are all shows that I like that my husband won't watch.

  4. You didn't mention Amazon, but IF you get Prime, I recommend Mozart in the Jungle. On Netflix, we liked Lillehammer.

  8. Nurse Jackie is on Netflix and I highly recommend it. Grace and Frankie is also on Netflix and it's pretty funny; however, there is only one season currently.

    If you have access to Amazon, Catastrophe is funny.

  12. Last Man Standing is one of my favorites. Tim Allen is still funny after all these years.

  13. For older stuff, I still watch Frasier repeats, though mainly the first seven seasons (that ought to be enough!).

    One of my favourite recent shows is Party Down which (I think) is on US Netflix or another streaming service. It's about a bunch of wannabee actors/writers working at a catering company ("Party Down") in LA.

    Finally, if animation is acceptable, there's always Archer.

  14. Welcome to Sweden. It has Amy Poehler's brother in it, with some Amy Poehler, Aubrey Plaza, Neve Campbell, Paul Simon, Jack Black and the regulars. It tells the story of how the main character falls in love and moves to Sweden with his girlfriend, which Amy Poehler's brother did do. It only got 2 seasons but it was really funny. It was on NBC and on Hulu.

    Speaking of Jack Black, The Brink was on HBO and it was funny. It was renewed for a second season, then...nothing. Apparently they aren't making it.

  15. Happy Endings. Only 3 seasons, and it's on Hulu.

  19. Archer. It makes up in hilarity what it lacks in erudite language.
