10 Best TV Shows For Seinfeld Fans, According To Reddit

When thinking about the perfect sitcom, Seinfeld is always going to be a top choice for many people. The characters may be different from others on TV comedies, as they are self-absorbed, quick to blame others for their problems, and don’t have that many goals and dreams. But Jerry, Kramer, George, and Elaine’s cynical personalities are lovable in their own way and fans like that the characters don’t behave perfectly.

When fans have finished rewatching Seinfeld again, there are some other TV comedy shows that Reddit users have recommended, from Larry David’s beloved HBO series to another ’90s sitcom that is very popular.

10 Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000-Present)

Stream on HBO Max

Reddit user dmkolobanov said Curb Your Enthusiasm is a great show for Seinfeld fans to watch because “It is Larry David after all.”

All 11 seasons of Curb are entertaining as viewers see the world through Larry David’s cynical eyes. Whether dealing with neighbors, friends, or strangers, Larry always has strong opinions and every storyline is all about his unique sense of humor.

9 The Good Place (2016-2020)

Stream on Netflix

The Good Place’s smart characters and interesting premise make it one of the most offbeat and intriguing sitcoms of recent years, and Reddit user manys recommended “The Good Place” as a great show for those who love Seinfeld.

While Eleanor, Chidi, Tahani, and Jason are definitely in a different situation than Jerry and his friends, as they’re dealing with being in the afterlife, both shows share a similar philosophical tone. Eleanor is a character who could fit into Jerry’s world on Seinfeld as she’s cynical, tough, and doesn’t usually do the right thing.

8 It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia (2004-Present)

Stream on Hulu

In a thread asking if there is a “modern-day equivalent” to Seinfeld, Reddit user kthulhu66 said It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia is “close, with more narcissism.”

Both sitcoms share main characters who are pessimistic and who don’t typically do the right thing. They tend to be self-absorbed and don’t enjoy thinking about other people’s thoughts or feelings. When something happens to them, these characters are more likely to blame others and be frustrated than to find a logical or helpful solution.

7 Frasier (1993-2004)

Stream on Hulu

Reddit user The_D0gfather said, “If you want an intelligent fuñ 90s sitcom Id recommend Fraiser.”

Frasier and Seinfeld are both considered the best ’90s sitcoms, and fans of Seinfeld will become invested in the lives of Niles, Frasier, and Daphne. Both shows see the main characters thinking carefully about their lives and what they want from the future.

6 Alone Together (2018)

Stream on Hulu

When looking for a show like Seinfeld, Reddit user premier-cat-arena recommended Alone Together, writing, “Very much the same style comedy as curb but with millennials.”

Esther and Benji are best friends who live in Los Angeles and who are totally lost, trying to get through their 20s while wondering if they’ll ever find success and love. Whether Esther is hosting a sleepover that no one else enjoys or she’s waiting in line for a product launch, Alone Together features funny characters who are very selfish.

5 Search Party (2016-2022)

Stream on HBO Max

When Seinfeld fans want another show to binge watch, Reddit user LongjumpingWarthog7 loves Search Party. The fan wrote that it has “more drama and suspense than those shows, but at its core everyone on the show are hilarious, generally awful people.”

The final season of Search Party is very different from the previous ones, as Dory finds enlightenment and wants to create a pill that can help people find the peaceful experience that she has, and she and her friends hire influencers to help. The main characters do share a lot with the Seinfeld group, as they all make jokes and clever comments while going through their daily lives.

4 The League (2009-2015)

Stream on Hulu

Reddit user schotastic noted that while the show has different humor than the ’90s sitcom, The League is “Seinfeld-esque in that all elements introduced in an episode come full circle.”

The League is one of the best sitcoms on FX and tells the story of Rodney, Kevin, and Pete, good friends who have a fantasy football league. Like Jerry, Elaine, Kramer, and George, these three pals can see that their lives might not be working out the way that they planned.

3 Happy Endings (2011-2013)

Stream on Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Max

Reddit user Vanessak69 likes “classic hang out shows” and suggested that Seinfeld fans check out “Happy Endings.”

While Penny, Dave, Alex, Brad, Jane, and Max are generally more positive and happy people than Jerry’s friend group, this show will appeal to Seinfeld fans who love watching the ups and downs of friends who live in a big city. The storylines on Happy Endings deal with dating, just like Seinfeld, and the characters do also get into some silly situations.

2 Big Mouth (2017-Present)

Stream on Netflix

Reddit user rxcrox said that Big Mouth is “constantly quick and witty with the punchlines, and even has multiple scenes that make references to seinfeld.”

Big Mouth has loveable characters and the Netflix show’s comedic take on puberty has become popular. The characters stand out, from the main character Nick to the hormone monster and gym teacher.

1 Broad City (2014-2019)

Stream on Hulu

Reddit user Vanessak69 also recommends “Broad City” and it’s another sitcom that focuses on close friends and is set in New York City.

Over five seasons, Ilana and Abbi come of age as they try to learn how to do taxes, work on their confidence, find career success, and figure out how to generally be adults. Part of the fun of watching Seinfeld is seeing the characters going through their everyday lives in New York City and Broad City is a perfect pick for fans.
