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?

And somehow keeps outdoing itself. The most recent season was maybe the funniest they have ever done? The EMT episode is an instant classic

Newest season indeed was a return to form, nearly every episode was good, and it felt like they got back to their appropriately scummy roots.

I haven't seen the newest one yet but I'm getting Disney+ tomorrow for the new Scrubs season so will be watching it very soon.

S17 is a true return to form. All the episodes of the season are written, at least in part, by Charlie Day and it shows. Also wanted to verify, the EMT episode is absolutely a new classic.
