To ask for shows like Miranda

[Briefly]

Life is difficult at the moment and Miranda has been getting me through it. Only problem is I'm running out of episodes. Is there anything like it out there?

Perhaps it's very unreasonable to think anything similar exists.

Death in paradise… murder with sunshine and upbeat music. Dozens of disposes to watch if you start from the beginning.

Episodes!

Two doors down

Thanks for the inspiration- am currently isolating- so these are very helpful!!

My Family is a favourite here , as is
Carshare

It's not a comedy drama but Taskmaster can be absolutely hilarious. Just got into it lately.

Just remembered Phoenix Nights. How could I forget!

Two doors down………bloody hilarious.

Short 15 minutes episodes , they will be on BBC catch up
Laugh out loud stuff.

Still Game is my favourite when I need a laugh!

Chewing Gum and Drifters are both very cheering.

Just watched the trailers and love the look of these especially Chewing Gum!

Oh yes, someone else has recommended the Detectorists, it's wonderful. Definitely watch that if you haven't already.

Came to say this too! It’s the most wholesome programme I’ve watched and really had us laughing too!

Have to say, I think Schitts Creek is massively overrated. We persevered but can’t say it really made me laugh, more a little “heh” every now and then!

Call me Kat is the American remake of Miranda, it's totally different but just as silly.

Also Corner Gas on Amazon is funny and daft with a nice heart. Lots of episodes and a movie.

Another vote for Ghosts. Later series are less good than the first one but it's lovely gentle telly. And you can't go wrong with The Good Life.

Parks and Recreation

Has anyone mentioned The Chair on Netflix. I binge watched it, it's funny and has good characters. Loved it.

A PP was wondering where you can watch Rosemary & Thyme: the Drama channel often shows it so if you register with UKTV Play you can access their free on-demand service. (If it's not Drama then it might be ITV3, in which case it'd be on the ITV Hub)

In a similar vein to Black Books is Spaced, with Simon Pegg. I loved that.

I agree Ghosts is brilliant and also Black Books and Spaced (which I watched for the 1st time last year and didn't seem dated) . Green Wing , a medical comedy, very daft and silly.

I also love League of Gentlemen, though it is a v black comedy.

Best line ever in Ghosts.... When she is talking to them outside, next to the car. The husband says he'll call someone.

She says "who are you going to call?"

Absolutely brilliant 😂

I know! Imagine if they hadn't thought to write that line until it was too late! They'd have been kicking themselves!

@gingerknobs

Episodes!

Episodes is fab! Been trying to find it somewhere I can rewatch it recently but not having any luck!

Not a fan of that, but something along similar lines, (a silly/funny/oneliner type sitcom show) is Not Going Out. It's really funny. Give that a go if you haven't already.

Also The Good Life, Dear John, To The Manor Born, One Foot in the grave....

Another vote for Schitts Creek.

You'll never see cherry blossom the same again...

Not silly funny but The Detectorists is very light and gentle viewing

Also, not funnt but comfort watching I would recommend all creatures great and small

Stath Lets Flats, especially series 1, is an underrated slapstick gem. I laughed so hard at that series.

Not Going Out. The early ones with Tim Vine are absolutely hilarious.

Fleabag.

Motherland was too close to home for me and just left me with an overall feeling of anger! 🤣
