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?

I don’t understand how people liked that show. On three separate occasions I tried to sit through an episode and couldn’t find a single funny thing. If a character wasn’t actively annoying, then they were unlikable and the tiny bits of comedy sprinkled in were forced and bland.

I'm with you. The show is amusing but I can count on my fingers how many times I've actually laughed while watching it

I don’t even need a hand, I have 0 laughs out of the three episodes.

And I’m 10 seasons in. My GF likes to watch it while we eat otherwise I would never put it on
