Here are the seven sitcoms that Redditors recommend to all Parks and Rec fans, ranked by average audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Superstore (2015–2021, 6 seasons, 80%)

The NBC series seems to be the perfect workplace comedy with its own voice and hilarious dynamics between the characters. The show revolves around a fictional large chain store, Cloud 9, located in St. Louis, Missouri, and its employees. Redditors who have worked in retail say the sitcom hits very close to home.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (2015–2019, 4 seasons, 83%)

While the premise of the Netflix show is pretty dark, following a young woman rescued from 15 years of captivity in a bunker and adjusting to life in freedom, it's a surprisingly positive and comfortable sitcom that many Redditors love to re-watch.

Kim's Convenience (2016–2021, 5 seasons, 86%)

The CBS show about a Korean-Canadian family and their convenience store in Toronto is the most underrated show, according to Redditors. The four-member Kim family and their relationships are so addictive that viewers find it hard to stay away from their screens.

Community (2009–2015, 6 seasons, 88%)

The main character is a woman who finds herself in a utopian place after her death and thinks she got there by mistake. The NBC series is a really clever examination of morality and ethics as well as a great comedy, Redditors say.

30 Rock (2006–2013, 7 seasons, 92%)
