CRITERIA TWO:

what the fuck is wrong with me...I completely forgot to put The Office up there. One of my all time favorite shows.

Blue Mountain State is also good, and How I Met Your Mother is decent if you somehow watch all the ones previously listed

Well, the OP only stated series which have not seen German TV time, and it's hard to imagine what that entails. I'm guessing Scrubs, E&D, The Office, Always Sunny have surely seen screen time.


Archer, Workaholics, Parks and Rec and you have a good mix of wittiness, pseudo-docs and childishness, that could match your Cr. 2 well enough.

Man I will give another vote to Archer. I went into it with EXTREME skepticism and it totally won me over.

yoyo

yea obviously scrubs was a big success over here, but when it comes to your other examples, i just know them from my "research" on funny and remotely "new" series

will check your recommendations out even though the seriousness-level has not been confirmed yet

Trailer Park Boys hasn't been recommended yet? I'd say thats at the top. The Office, and Always Sunny in Philadelphia are very good as well.

In addition to everything else said, I will add Party Down to the list. Pretty sure it only aired for two seasons, but it was hilarious.
