The last mail is out, the child is asleep, the day is hanging in your bones. Now would be the perfect time to to finally do all the things that you never get to. But, at some point it’s just the end of the day. That’s why there are a few here Series, to switch on and off.
At last it’s the end of work and thus the ideal time to finally read the big tome that you have already started X times, to finally learn your new instrument or this new language, for which you have downloaded this app especially. But sometimes you just want to switch off and relax. These seven feel-good series help you laugh heartily again after a busy day.
Scrubs
The absolute Comedy classicwho has an idea as simple as it is ingenious: Why don’t we turn a hospital series like Emergency Room or Grey’s Anatomy into a comedy series?
So we follow JD, Turk and Carla and their colleagues who all work at a large hospital. On the one hand, we learn how doctors and surgeons are trained, but also what the everyday life of a nurse or caretaker is. And even if each episode on one emotional climax working towards it, “Scrubs” shines above all with its incredibly harmonious figure constellation. Especially JD and Turk radiate a great image of a loving male friendship that melts away. Topped by JD’s funny daydreams, which are the highlight of the series.
Incidentally, there is currently a podcast “Fake Doktors, Real Friends”, in which the two actors review all the episodes again. So if you are just starting a Scrubs Rewatch or want to deal with the series for the first time, you can find out something about the fun production conditions.
New girl
Actually, this concept was already through: A couple of confused city dwellers live together in a flat share and stumble through their strange everyday life. We’ve already seen it all on “Friends”, “How I Met Your Mother” and “Seinfeld”? Then why is “New Girl” like that? damn funny?
That’s because comedy writing is on a different level here. If you’re not doing a classic sitcom with audience laughter, you have to come up with something. For the makers of New Girl, the solution was: The dialogues have to be cut very quickly. And it works!
The series tells the story of the elementary school teacher Jess, who moves into the apartment to the spoiled Nick, the overachiever Schmitt and the amiable but strange Winston. What emerges are incredibly funny everyday situations, which are turned into gag fireworks, especially through the love-hate relationship between Schmitt and Nick. They are fast Characters are so familiarthat you would like to watch all the episodes in one go.
Schitt’s Creek
A series that is still a bit under the radar in Germany is due to its many Emmy wins last year, with many appeared on the watchlist: And it’s worth it.
In the Canadian production of “Schitt’s Creek”, a wealthy family loses everything but a shabby place that they bought as a joke years ago: Schitt’s Creek. Once there, they have to look for work and in their new home – a battered motel – they encounter all sorts of things weird villagers.
Especially Catherine O’Hara as the former soap diva and Chris Elliott as the strange mayor are a sensation. At the same time, the series tells a lot about wealth and class with a good dose of humor, but never gets angry, but always remains pleasantly benevolent.
Gilmore Girls
Sometimes you want to be in a series just feel at home. Gilmore Girls is just such a show. In this television classic that has been running up and down on German television for years, the focus is on a relationship that is actually unusual. The series is about Lorelai and her daughter Rory, who are mostly friends. Since we eventually get to know Lorelai’s mother, the series manages to negotiate generational issues in a funny and undisguised way.
But above all, “Gilmore Girls” lives from the incredibly fast-paced, dynamic dialogues, the funny ensemble of characters from the place “Stars Hollow” and the loving relationship between mother and daughter. Perhaps a relationship many of us would want with our own parents. Or maybe not. “Gilmore Girls” is like a cozy Christmas visit that just doesn’t want to end.

Black-ish
For many years the successful sitcoms and comedy shows in the USA were mainly produced by whites. Early bright spots like the “Cosby Show” are unfortunately difficult to watch today due to their main character. Others like “The Prince of Bel-Air“Were revolutionary, but haven’t dared to tackle social issues so bravely.
“Black-ish” does it differently. This family comedy is about a black affluent family who live in a white suburb and have to figure out how to deal with their identity there. What do you do when one son gives up his black name and wants a Bar Mitzvah? It’s easy, hold a Bro-Mitzvah!
“Black-ish” finds clever and above all funny answers to socially relevant questions. It’s about stereotypes, dating, careers and generational conflicts: Laurence Fishburn, for example, shines here as a grumpy grandfather.
Particularly noteworthy is the current season, which deals with the Covid 19 pandemic and assigns each family member a different socially relevant role. And yet Black-ish remains so down-to-earth and personable in everything.
Easy
The issues of the big city and sexuality have been going hand in hand since “Sex and the City” at the latest. We love it odd characters Watching them experience adventures that we ourselves only dream of and pay for problems that we ourselves may not even discuss with friends.
The problem with series like “How I Met Your Mother” is that they are often very much caught up in social patterns. Homosexual characters, or people who are very sexually active, often remain funny marginal phenomena, but are never really the focus. “Easy” changes that.
In the series we follow different people in Chicago who are all struggling with very different problems. The special thing is that the series not only generates conflicts or laughs from these very different sexual and political identities, but above all creates positive discussions.
When you watch Easy, you always have the feeling: Why can’t everyone be so open to one another? And: The series is very easy to look away from, there are only 25 short episodes that do not build on each other, but rather develop relationships with each other. A really nice series experience.
Parks & Recreation
After there were fewer and fewer classic sitcoms, a new comedy genre established: The Mockumentary. As with “Stromberg”, in such formats we experience how a fake documentary team accompanies people at work. This is also called workplace comedy, the Stromberg template “The Office” has shown it.
Seldom has it worked so well as with “Parks and Recreation”, a series from which today’s mega-stars like Chris Pratt emerged. In the fictional town of Pawnee, Indiana, we accompany the employees of the city planning department, who mainly work to push their own careers.
Anyone who has ever wondered why politics works so strangely tenaciously will find the answer at Parks and Recreation. At the same time, the series always leaves you with the positive feeling that these are just people who have to struggle with their own personal idiosyncrasies. If you haven’t tried the series yet, you can go here one of the comedy highlights of the last few years discover.
