Young Sheldon is a spin-off to one of the most infamously unfunny sitcoms of all time.
IaSiP is incredibly famous and adored online. I couldn't even make it through one episode, myself.
St Denis I only know because my parents are obsessed with any medical show. It's basically trying so hard to be Scrubs, but without the charm.
Describing Harley Quinn as a sitcom doesn't sit well with me. It is great, though.
I haven't even heard of any of the others.
You'll be pleased to hear that Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage is a spinoff of Young Sheldon ;)
Is this a joke? Please tell me it's a joke.

Surprising you're on the internet and haven't heard of always sunny given it's about to start its 17th season, but I guess it might just not be your kind of thing after all
Agree about whatever the hell else is making up that list though
I've heard of young sheldon and always sunny, but that's about it. Definitely not the top 2 though and I don't watch any of them.
The only thing I know about Abbott Elementary is that the first episode of the new season of Always Sunny is going to be a crossover episode, as both take place in Philadelphia.
More specifically, the first episode of the new season of Always Sunny is a retelling of the crossover episode they already had as part of the most recent season of Abbott Elementary, but this time from the perspective of the Always Sunny characters
Ah, I didn't know that! Have you watched any of Abbott? I was just wondering if I should give it a try last night lol
Yep I've watched it all, I quite like it
Abbott Elementary is a nice light hearted show. It's a good palette cleanser to watch after heavier, more serious stuff.
Do normal people watch TV anymore?
What an insane thing to ask. 'normal people' is hard to define but yes the average person still watches TV. Plenty of weirdos still play for cable, most people stream, and I believe most on the fediverse probably sail the high seas as I do, but we're all still watching TV.
I don't know any of these
Really? You don't know any of them? You don't even know It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, a show that's been on since 2005? Abbott Elementary, Animal Control, and St. Denis Medical are all really good sitcoms, and aside from Joel McHale nobody looks like AI. Idk if it counts but Harley Quinn is pretty funny as well. Point is there's some pretty popular shows here, I doubt you're being genuine when you say you don't know any of them, and aside from that they're all starring real looking, real people. In fact I'd argue TV shows have never in the past cast as many normal looking people as they currently do.

Why is US ghosts number one? It's terrible. The UK one is a million times better.
If someone is more familiar with this than me, does it get better after the first few episodes? It just seems like a hamfisted knock off to me without the soul of the original.
Like with most shows brought over from the UK, the us version lost a lot of it's soul, but it builds it back up over the course of the first season. It can be a little silly sometimes, and it's definitely it's own little creature by now, but it's actually pretty good. My mom loved it before she passed, and I quite like it.

I guess it just works better when you can tell which character is which
But then you have to hire several actors. It's so much more work.
