Reply to comment by AgentElman in What do you think the issue with modern sitcoms is? (Discussion) by Paula-Abdul-Jabbar

But the current sitcoms I've pointed out are the ones that are getting renewed and have the highest ratings at the moment.

My main point is that there hasn't been an extremely funny new network sitcom in almost ten years.

To you. I know lots of people that think Abbott Elementary is extremely funny. We just don’t all culturally unite around sitcoms anymore.

I actually do think Abbott is really funny, even if I don't think it quite reaches the comedic highs of other shows from before.

But to counter that...you know lots of people that think Abbott is extremely funny...and what other current shows? Does it say something about the state of comedy on TV that there are only 1, maybe 2 shows on currently that people find really funny?

Yes, it says networks are airing fewer comedies.

Superstore was really good. But overall I agree with you.
