25 Great Workplace Comedies to Stream (That Aren't 'The Office')
There are only so many times you can rewatch The Office (or even The Office). In fact, in the likely event that you aren't a Peacock Premium subscriber, you can't even stream much of the American series at all anymore.
But fear not: As some of us enter our second year of working at home there are still plenty of critic-approved streaming workplace comedies to satisfy any nostalgia you may have for days of toiling in a crowded office surrounded by your coworkers. (Or merely to kill the extra hours you have to spend at home.) Our suggestions for your next workplace comedy binge—including information on where to stream each show—can be found in alphabetical order in the gallery above. Most of these shows are from the past few decades, but at the end of the gallery we have compiled suggestions for some additional classic workplace sitcoms, as well as a few titles that are just getting started. (Shows such as Sports Night and NewsRadio not currently streaming in full on any free or subscription service are excluded.)

The workplace: A family-run hamburger restaurant in a seaside town.
Now in the middle of its 11th season—with at least two more to follow—Fox's animated hit didn't exactly come out of the gate with fantastic reviews (as you may have guessed from that Metascore displayed above). But its longevity should be one clue that Bob's Burgers—a charming animated family comedy from Home Movies and Dr. Katz alumnus Loren Bouchard—has become a beloved institution in Fox's Sunday night animation lineup.
A theatrical feature film spinoff was originally expected to be released in 2020 but has been postponed indefinitely due to the pandemic. And while Bob's Burgers has had its share of musical numbers throughout its run (more than enough to fill an album), Bouchard now has a true animated musical series on the air: Apple's Central Park, which returns for a second season this summer.
“Perhaps I enjoy 'Bob’s Burgers' so much because it’s an optimistic family sitcom that doesn’t turn me off with mawkishness, cliches or tired writing.” —Maureen Ryan, Huffington Post
