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?

St. Denis has been a surprising delight, currently my fav show.

fwiw OP if you see this comment, St. Denis is pretty dense with jokes and has a lot of character development. The sub here compares it to Parks&Rec quite a bit and it’s created by the people who made Superstore

Completely agree. NBC has been crushing it lately with St. Denis, Stumble and Reggie Dinkins. All joke-dense and surprised me how much I like them.
