Shows that feel likeMonty Python's Flying Circus (1969–1974)
If you loved Monty Python's Flying Circus, the closest series we have are Married... with Children (1987), Parks and Recreation (2009) and Arrested Development (2003). All three share Monty Python's Flying Circus' witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Veep (2012).
If Monty Python's Flying Circus hit the spot, these will too

Both land wit and play at once
The difference: Lighter on dream logic

The same preoccupation in both: satire
The difference: Less dreamlike, more its own thing

Darkly funny comedy in both cases
The difference: Made in the 2000s, in a different era of the craft


One thread runs through both: satire
The difference: Leans further into drama

Comedy built on play, twice over



Both run playful where it counts

The shared currency is dream logic

Both sit in the same darkly funny register
