- All below The Dick Van Dyke Show. But from this list - zunk xometimes Jul 29, 09:10
- me - mud Jul 29, 09:08
- The correct answers are... - David Jul 29, 09:08 11
  - If you do ever give Parks & Rec a try (and you really should it'd be my #1 on this list) remember season 1 is largely just to be endured. - Cuzzin Todd Jul 29, 09:40 5
    - I wonder if the same is true for B99. Cause I could not stand that shit -- nm - con_carne Jul 29, 09:44 4
      - I didn't like S1 but Andy Samberg was somewhat tempered later and the other cast members stepped up more so it is less about him. I quite enjoy it now -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 29, 09:50 1
        
        That sounds promising. Thanks -- nm - con_carne Jul 29, 09:56
      - I found B99 got it's footing about 5-6 episodes in...P&R had a firm reboot near the end of Season 2 because it was so wobbly. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 09:49
      - I'd say that they got the kinks out after S1, but it's broadly the same show. -- nm - Roger More Jul 29, 09:48
  - Good Place. Everything else. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jul 29, 09:20 1
    - Imposter Imperator is also right. -- nm - David Jul 29, 09:22
  - you need to watch Parks and Rec -- nm - mud Jul 29, 09:09 2
    - Yeah, it's a great complement to the Good Place / B99 style. Those producers are awesome. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 09:13 1
      - and P&R is set in the same universe as The Good Place. -- nm* - Beaker Jul 29, 09:23
- I think I'd go - Will Hunting Jul 29, 09:08
- based on my personal enjoyment - Roger More Jul 29, 09:07
- Okay, sure. - Beryllium Jul 29, 09:06 1
  - (to be clear, within each category the order was not considered) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 29, 09:09
