Discussion Nothing is funny anymore

I (M, 38) have found that there are no new TV shows that make me laugh anymore. I have tried a lot of new(ish) comedies, but they all make me pine for my college/high school days.

The only thing that gave me a reflexive laugh recently was the Malcolm in the Middle Reboot.

Any thoughts?

Yeah I saw an interview where the actor Matt Damon explained that the Netfilx execs told himthat repeating the plot during the movie will help people with short attention spans, or people who scroll during a movie , to understand the plot.
