When it comes to TV comedies, people love to debate and discuss their favorites. Some shows may have a dedicated fan base, while others may have universal critical acclaim. Recently, Reddit user phildunpheee posed a question to fellow users: "What's a sitcom that started as a 10, stayed a 10, and ended as a 10?" They were specifically looking for shows that maintained their high quality throughout their entire run, without any drop in quality or rushed endings.
Many TV fans immediately chimed in with their choices, including popular shows like Malcolm in the Middle and Schitt's Creek. Let's take a closer look at these shows and see if you agree with their perfect 10 rating.
Malcolm in the Middle is often hailed as one of the best TV shows of the 2000s, if not of all time. Starring Frankie Muniz as the titular character, the show revolves around the chaotic and dysfunctional family dynamic of the Wilkersons. Reddit user Ekhoes- described it as a "phenomenal show that never really had a bad season," while m0hVanDine shared that it still makes them laugh every time they rewatch it. Jcaininit added that they loved the show as a kid, but appreciate it even more now as an adult. Luckily, the show is available to stream on Disney Plus for those looking to relive the hilarity.
Another popular choice was Veep, which aired for seven seasons and starred Julia Louis-Dreyfus as the fictional Vice President Selina Meyer. Karefree2 declared it "possibly the best sitcom of all time," while DoorInTheAir and AmmarAnwar1996 both praised its sharp wit and joke density. With its political satire and award-winning performances, it's no wonder why Veep is still greatly admired by fans, even five years after its finale. It can be streamed on Sky and NOW.
Some Reddit users went for more "underappreciated" choices, such as 3rd Rock From The Sun. This sitcom, which aired from 1996 to 2001, followed four extraterrestrials who come to Earth to investigate the planet. RianSG shared that they watched it for the first time a few years ago and found it to be a "fantastic show" that deserves more love. specalKrimes agreed, calling it a "great answer" and "very under-appreciated." Luckily, the show is available to stream on Channel 4 for those looking to give it a try.
Schitt's Creek may have only started in 2015, but it quickly gained a dedicated fan base and became a beloved comfort watch for many. Created by Eugene Levy and his son Dan Levy, the show follows the wealthy and eccentric Rose family as they are forced to move to a small town when they lose their fortune. Reddit users Prince_Jellyfish and Danjdanjdanj57 both shared their love for the show, with the latter calling it one of their "favorites ever." With its heartwarming humor and lovable characters, it's no wonder Schitt's Creek is a popular choice. It can be streamed on Netflix.
The IT Crowd may have ended over a decade ago, but it has gained a cult following since its debut. The British sitcom, created by and starring Tina Fey, follows the antics of the IT department in a fictional company. Reddit users j_birdddd and Attic-Music both expressed their love for the show, with the latter specifically praising the episode "The Work Outing" as one of the funniest things they've ever seen. The IT Crowd can be streamed on Channel 4 and Netflix.
Lastly, The Good Place was praised for its combination of lighthearted comedy and philosophical themes. The show follows Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell) as she navigates the afterlife with the help of her friends, played by Ted Danson, William Jackson Harper, and Jameela Jamil. Reddit user Innocent Tailor declared it "phenomenal," while MalumAvis admired the character arcs and Hlofrnd praised its lack of "wasted scenes." The Good Place can be streamed on Netflix.
With so many great choices, it's no wonder why the debate over the best TV comedies can go on for days. Whether you agree with these picks or have your own favorites, one thing is for sure: these shows are all worthy of a perfect 10 rating.
