Something similar to Modern Family to watch?

I’m coming to the end of modern family (well season 7, the rest of the seasons aren’t on Netflix!) and want something similar to watch. I also loved The Middle. Any refs?

Schitts Creek is very good. Maybe give it a go.

Life in Pieces on Amazon is great.

Schitt’s Creek is utterly joyful. Not that similar to modern family but it’s glorious, sure you’ll love it.

Definitely Life In Pieces on Prime, it’s brilliant.

I’ve just found seasons 8 9 and 10 of modern family on sky so that will keep me going for a bit longer too!

how i met your mother

It's a little old so I don't know where you'd find it, but 'raising hope' is really good.

I'm enjoying New Girl on Netflix as a light, background watch. It's a bit like a modern Friends/old style sitcom.

blackish is goodish!

Another vote for Schitt's Creek. We are also thoroughly enjoying Trailer Park Boys (not the cartoon version), but appreciate it is a bit niche.

DP is enjoying Kim's Convenience, and I dip in and out of that too.

Derek is another one we are watching. Brilliant series.

Redcliff · 09/07/2020 23:51

Another vote for Kim's Convieance. Also like Community although couldn't really say it's like Modern Family (which I also like).

Ginkypig · 10/07/2020 00:43

Almost all of the above.

They aren't all exactly the same but a lot of them leave you with that same feeling after watching them if that makes sense.

The ones that jumped out before I started reading the thread and saw that they had been mentioned though were life in pieces, the middle and shitts creek.

We loved Modern Family (but stopped watching it after season 6/7 as we didn't enjoy it as much after that but we re-watch it ofen) others we watch are

Brooklyn 999
Parks and Recs
The IT Crowd
