Recommendations for shows similar to Our Flag Means Death or The Orville? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Are there any other shows out there of this sort of lighthearted nature, yet made with quality writing, out there?

It feels like a lot of recent things we've watched has been a bit grim and/or relies on spectacle rather than telling a good story and working a few jokes in along the way ... the world is on fire, I'd like to stop it and get off, if only for a few minutes at a time.

I agree that they are extremely similar seeing how both were created by Greg Daniels. Both are funny upon first watch but I do not see the office as the greatest sitcom ever, it gets old and replayed way too much. I was more so comparing what we do in the shadows to the office and parks and rec in the shows format- Fake reality shows following around people in their day to day lives (undead lives in the case or WWDITS).

Ahh ok I get it. That makes sense.
