The Royle Family (1998)
8.2/10on IMDb
First aired
The Royle living room is arranged around the television, which lets everyone keep talking without needing to look directly at the person being teased. A family friend or a cup of tea gives the conversation just enough of an interruption. It has the familiarity of a favorite hangout with much less appetite for a big plot.

Letterkenny (2016)
8.5/10on IMDb
First aired
MoDean's gives Gail and the adults of Letterkenny a social room away from the produce stand, the farms, and the rink. Its regulars fall into separate little pockets of conversation, so a joke can stay repetitive until somebody finds a stranger variation. The language is coarse and the cadence is best tried in a single episode.
