Working for Laughs

While it seems quite simple, many of the best comedy shows have been in a workplace. From "Mary Tyler Moore" to "The Office," from "MASH" to "Parks and Rec," these allow us to view an ensemble, presenting quirky characters. I'd forgotten how funny "WKRP" was or the "Bob Newhart Show" or "Barney Miller." "The Dick Van Dyke Show" was the standard bearer. Incredible television. We didn't even mention Cheers because it fits another category.
