## Key points

- The ranking values chemistry, repeatable jokes and memorable character reactions.
- *Abbott Elementary* turns school dysfunction into comedy without dismissing teachers’ care.
- *What We Do in the Shadows* and *Veep* mine comedy from flawed characters and institutions.

## Summary

The article ranks six sitcoms from the past 25 years as especially “perfect”, judging them by cast chemistry, jokes that hold up on repeat viewing and characters whose small reactions are funny because of their established relationships. It argues that these shows make their settings and ensembles feel familiar, while balancing comedy with moments that show why the characters keep going.

The excerpt describes *Abbott Elementary*, where teachers care for pupils despite an underfunded school and bureaucratic obstacles; *What We Do in the Shadows*, which finds comedy in vampires’ petty problems and mistaken ideas about themselves; and *Veep*, which follows Selina Meyer and her self-interested political staff. The article highlights the shows’ ensemble dynamics, including Gregory’s growing place at Abbott, Guillermo’s underestimated abilities, and *Veep*’s portrayal of a political world where competence is often punished.
