Are there any other shows out there of this sort of lighthearted nature, yet made with quality writing, out there?

It feels like a lot of recent things we've watched has been a bit grim and/or relies on spectacle rather than telling a good story and working a few jokes in along the way ... the world is on fire, I'd like to stop it and get off, if only for a few minutes at a time.

Better off Ted.

It's 15 years old now, but the jokes are top notch.

I miss that show. Wife asked me yesterday which show I'd love to see revived, and Better Off Ted was my answer.
