Give them a try – you don’t know what you’re missing.
With so many options for TV shows, movies, and streaming, it's easy to miss out on some really great stuff. And we all need a good laugh every now and then.
So here are 5 underrated CBS sitcoms you should check out:
1. King of Queens
A relatable story about Doug, an everyman played by Kevin James (Mall Cop), and his wife Carrie (Leah Remini). Doug is a delivery driver and Carrie is a legal secretary for a Manhattan-based firm. The couple has no kids, but Carrie's father lives with them. Expect the usual suburban family hijinks, but with the addition of fantastic chemistry between the leads.
The show ran for nine seasons from 1998 to 2007 and has 207 episodes.
2. Mike & Molly
Another show that focused on the relationship between its main characters. Mike, an overweight Chicago police officer (Billy Gardell) and Molly (Melissa McCarthy), a 4th grade teacher, meet at an Overeaters Anonymous meeting and fall in love.
The show has a great cast of recurring characters and the performances of Gardell and McCarthy really elevate the show. There are six seasons and 127 episodes. It originally aired between 2010 and 2016.
3. Life in Pieces
An interesting concept that really works. Life in Pieces follows the lives of three generations of a family – the Shorts. The episodes are structured so that each is divided into three separate stories (one for each generation) that are brought together by a fourth, more holistic one. Colin Hanks and Betsy Brandt star.
Life in Pieces ran for four seasons from 2015 to 2019. There are 79 episodes in total.
4. Becker
Ted Danson stars as John Becker, a doctor who hates everyone and everything. The show tackled some of the big issues of its time (1998 – 2004) such as equality, political correctness and addiction. The comedy comes from Becker's constant complaining and strained relationships. Whether it's his patients, his friends, or anyone else he encounters, it's a safe bet they're going to annoy him.
5. Rules of Engagement
Five is an odd number in this show that follows two couples (played by Patrick Warburton & Megyn Price and Adam Rhodes and Jennifer Morgan) and their single friend David (Russel Dunbar). The show explores the different lives of a married couple, a boyfriend and girlfriend, and a single womaniser with narcissistic tendencies.
Seven seasons and 100 episodes aired from 2007 to 2013.
