He is waiting for a lot of unusual and even funny stories, many of which will happen to Fraser himself.
19. Ugly (2006 - 2010)
“Ugly” is an American comedy series based on the famous soap opera “I'm Betty, Ugly.” The events take place around the main character, Betty Suarez, who decided to prove herself in the fashion industry, with its tough rules and conditions.
All anything, but Betty has a completely inexpressive appearance and figure. Moreover, it often looks so ridiculous that it is the object of ridicule. Nevertheless, even these features will not prevent Betty from becoming successful and proving to everyone what she is capable of.

Nevertheless, Hank Moody still leaves no hope to find inspiration again, to return to writing and his family.
15. Damn hospital service at MESH (1972 - 1983)
Any war is an incredibly difficult period, but the work of a surgeon during the Korean conflict of the 50s is hell. The series tells about the difficult everyday life of the Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, whose doctors are optimistic and try to entertain as much as they can to keep their sanity.
Heroes of the series prove that humor is the best tool to professionally perform the most difficult work in the most unsuitable conditions for this. Often they are far too strangled, but most of the pranks get away with them, as they are first-class surgeons-specialists.
14. Two and a half people (2003 - 2015)
Family ties brought together such versatile personalities as Charlie, who considers himself a staunch bachelor, and his brother Alan, who only survived a divorce from his wife, under the same roof.

10. Sex and the City (1998 - 2004)
In the center of the series - the life of four friends. Each of them is incredibly attractive and is very popular among men, but not everyone can realize themselves in long-term relationships.
I look forward to the most juicy details of the lives of women over 30 who enjoy life in the heart of New York. Each of them is unique in its own way, but they are all united by something more than just friendship. The series will lift the veil of the most important women's problems, which are usually not accepted to speak out loud.

It is hardly possible to find a man who would not know such a colorful character as Mr. Bean, who was played by the unsurpassed Rowan Atkinson. The series shows the usual life of Mr. Bean, who at every turn gets into the most unusual and unpredictable situations.
Despite all the strangeness and untidiness of the main character, it is extremely difficult not to love this good-natured and incredibly comic cult character. All that he does not lead to completely unexpected consequences.
8. Klava, come on! (2002 - 2009)

Jeeves and Worcester is a classic series that combines inimitable British humor and tradition.
6. Monty Python. Flying Circus (1969 - 1974)
The legendary team of comedians "Monty Python" will demonstrate a truly subtle humor. Their sketches are different non-standard, sparkling humor and even ridiculing the established traditions.
Each story is distinguished by its narration, a separate story and unique events. However, all the series are united by one main rule: at the end of the episode there will always be a climax joke that will not leave any spectator indifferent.
5. Community (2009 - 2015)
The series "Community" tells about a group of not the most popular students who study at college "Greenindale". However, divorced housewives and even old people who want to stay young are also part of the student community.
