Goofy TV Shows to Watch with Tweens and Teens

Last updated: April 30, 2026

Tweens and teens are known for being picky about what they watch, especially with their parents. But this list of hilarious shows might provide inspiration for your next family favorite. From comfort comedies you can watch over and over, like Frasier or Parks and Recreation, to cringe-worthy classics, like The Office or Nathan for You, there's a range of humor here. There are also great picks with a hint of social commentary (Key & Peele or Portlandia) or a heap of absurdism (Monty Python's Flying Circus or Tim and Eric) and shows that reward viewers with jokes so subtle you might have missed them the first time around (30 Rock or Arrested Development). Note that some of these shows are edgier than others in terms of language, sex jokes, gross stuff, and more, so as always, know your kid and read our reviews to make sure each pick is right for your family.
