10 Recent Sitcoms That Give Seinfeld A Run For Its Money
Contents
Seinfeld dominated the comedy TV landscape of the ’90s. Years later, many sitcoms have proven to be just as groundbreaking as the show about nothing.

When Seinfeld premiered, the sitcom was groundbreaking for being “a show about nothing.” Jerry Seinfeld and his three friends spend a lot of time together hanging out in his apartment, going to the movies, and eating at a few restaurants. Of course, nothing is ever easy for them, and they always find themselves in sticky situations. Even trying to get a table for dinner can be a huge crisis.
There are many sitcoms to check out on Netflix, but no matter where TV fans find their next funny binge-watch, there are a few hilarious shows that bring the spirit and tone of Seinfeld to life, all these years later.
10 Single Parents
Single Parents and New Girl share some similarities as the former, which only ran for two seasons, features some quirky characters who navigate the mess of single parenting together. For the most part, these characters are just as cynical as the Seinfeld gang, as they don’t feel like they fit in with the mothers and fathers who are married and trying so hard to be perfect.
Will (Taran Killam) and Angie (Leighton Meester) are best friends, just like Jerry Seinfeld and Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), and there’s definitely a lot of tension there as they clearly have feelings for each other.
9 The Unicorn
The Unicorn premiered in fall 2019 and like Seinfeld, it doesn’t have a ton of plot in every episode, yet it works really well.
Wade (Walton Goggins) lost his wife, and he’s dating again while raising his two daughters… and dealing with his crazy, hilarious, quirky pals. The characters here are a lot like those on Seinfeld, although they live in the suburbs instead of Manhattan. They are mostly pessimistic and can’t help but crack jokes all the time.
8 The Goldbergs
The lovable but grumpy dad Murray (Jeff Garlin) on The Goldbergs could definitely be a character on Seinfeld, as he’s got the same cynical outlook and quick wit as George Costanza (Jason Alexander). When Murray gets home from work, he takes off his pants and sits down in his favorite chair, and it’s easy to see George doing that if he was a family man.
The Goldbergs has run for seven seasons so far and in every episode, the family faces a new hilarious problem that they have to solve.
7 Schitt’s Creek
The last season of Schitt’s Creek is hilarious and moving, and it’s one of those sitcoms that doesn’t have a ton of wild plot happening, but the quirky characters make up for it.
The Rose family has to move to a tiny town after becoming poor, and the humor lies in the situations that they find themselves in, as they have always been rich and privileged. They definitely aren’t a very cheerful or positive family, so they fit in with the characters on Seinfeld.
6 Workin’ Moms
If Elaine became a mother, it’s fair to say that she would be a character on the well-written show Workin’ Moms. She would fit right in with protagonist Kate (Catherine Reitman, also the creator), as they’re both pessimistic and they don’t trust anyone.
This show has a city setting, like Seinfeld, and features a group of friends who are definitely misfits.
5 Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Brooklyn Nine-Nine has many emotional moments, but besides that, the sitcom does share a few similarities with Seinfeld.
For one thing, the characters aren’t conventional or super nice. They have their own opinions and they often view new situations and people with a skeptical attitude (with the exception of Amy, who is often pretty cheerful). The gang also lives in New York City and talk super fast. They’re just as witty as Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer.
4 Great News
Great News, created by Tracey Wigfield and produced by Tina Fey, is a smart, hilarious look at the world of TV news. The twist: the main character, Katie’s (Briga Heelan) mom Carol (Andrea Martin) starts interning at the place where she works.
This show gives Seinfeld a run for its money as the characters are just as clever and fast-talking. The comedy also feels similar as strange and funny things happen in each episode, from jokes about wax figures to Carol being too crazy for Christmas.
3 How I Met Your Mother
Ted Mosby has many love interests on How I Met Your Mother, making it a show that has a lot in common with Seinfeld. Both sitcoms are about friends who are living in New York City and dating.
These series also revolve around a somewhat easygoing, nice guy who is devoted to his friends but wants to live his own life, too, and who works in a creative industry. In Ted’s case, it’s architecture, and of course, Jerry Seinfeld is a successful comedian.
2 Happy Endings
The characters on the popular sitcom Happy Endings don’t always like each other, but they always stick close together, just like Jerry and his friends.
Adam Pally’s character Max is a bit like Kramer: a misfit who doesn’t want to live a conventional life and whom other people find to be a little bit strange. Of course, this is what makes him hilarious.
1 Friends From College
Friends From College got a second season, but the show wasn’t super popular. It has something in common with Seinfeld, though: the characters aren’t always very easy to like.
Just like Jerry, Kramer, George and Elaine can act in very selfish ways, this group of old pals often just looks out for themselves. Not everyone will love this show, but that’s part of its charm as the characters feel real since they’re so flawed.
