When you need something that will make your heart feel good and your cheeks hurt from smiling, nothing compares to a great comedy series. Funny movies are great, too, of course, but when you're looking to watch something for hours on end with non-stop laughs, nothing beats must-watch TV shows. You get to know the characters, can escape into their world, and pick up on season-long or even series-long bits. Comedy TV shows are the emotional equivalent of comfort food: a soothing feast for your eyes that always lifts your mood.

From classic sitcoms and iconic Black TV shows to feel-good series to more irreverent titles and dramedies, the best comedy series are like visiting an old friend and help us through the harsh realities of modern life. So to help curate your binge-watch, we rounded up the best comedy TV shows of all time.
