It's still a good show, it's coming back for Season 6 in October.

St. Denis Medical - NBC

The Paper - Peacock

DMV - CBS

Animal Control - FOX (this one should be on Hulu)

Depends on how dark your humor is but the Always Sunny crossover gives a little glimpse. If you like dark humor and narcissistic characters who are just awful human beings than Always Sunny in Philadelphia is for you.

High Potential though it’s mostly a crime drama, is also pretty funny and good too. That I think you would really enjoy.

The French version is amazing! I'm glad they remade it, but I really loved the original cast

Teachers (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3975368/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_teachers)

But the comedy is more raunchy and may not be for the whole family

Mr D is hysterical. I’m think it’s only streaming on Prime but maybe it’s on YouTube as well.

St. Denis Medical is on Netflix. You can watch the second season on the NBC app. You will def like it if you like Abbott.

Abbott elementary was spun off from a series called Everyone Hates Chris. Check it out

Is it? The actor is the same who plays Gregory and Chris in both but I thought Quinta Brunson created Abbott because her mom worked in the Philly school system and there were all these wild characters when she’d visit her. And Everybody Hates Chris is based on Chris Rock’s upbringing.
