What to watch with DS 14 next?

DS14 & I enjoy watching (mostly comedy) series together in the evening before bed. We finished Friends last night and I'm struggling with what to watch next.

So far he's really enjoyed:

Stranger Things
Big Bang
Young Sheldon
Friends
Modern Family
Schitts Creek
The Middle
Friday Night Dinner

We dip into The IT Crowd & Red Dwarf when DH is around.

He's suggested The last of us & Fallout (not comedies, I know), but I'm thinking they're a bit too adult based on the age ratings.

Any suggestions of ideally light series we can watch together? We have Disney +, HBO Max & Netflix.

Thanks in advance

Has he watched the older Dr whos from Christopher Eccleston.

We've tried but they're just not his cup of tea.

Merlin is great. I watched it with dd's 13&15 last year so dd1 would have been 14 we all loved it.

My 14 year old is loving my name is earl with me. Also law and order - very different in tone!
We liked scrubs, too.

My teen loved 'Friday Night Dinner' and 'What we do in the shadows'.

Shitts creek writers have a new series out, cannot remember the name, big something. The son is main character. Watched 2 episodes, found it funny

Locke and key on Netflix, its really good, my 2 loved it.

Oh, and Brooklyn 99 was a big hit here.

I also have a 14 year old who has enjoyed lots of these. He’s also loved American office and Gavin & Stacey (although there is a lot of sexual references so up to you how you feel about this).

Just googled this. Looks cracking. Next on our watch list, thanks. ☺️

I found this with Friends. 1st 3 episodes all about who shagging who. My DS at age 14 was bored, so I was I!!

We are watching Buffy now.
Grimm was also a good one.
For comedies Brooklyn 99 and Modern Family were good.
