Will & Grace - Season 1

To get your throwback sitcom fix, part 2: Will & Grace

Here's one '90s revival that will manage to make it to a second season! Plus, Karen is a confirmed Trump voter, too, so that'll make for an easy transition. (Now streaming on Hulu)

Superstore - Season 3

To get your politically charged comedy fix, part 1: Superstore

Looking for a comedy that delves into political issues head-on? Set in a fictional big-box store in middle America, NBC's workplace comedy tackles labor disputes, immigration and corporate greed with a cast full of hilariously weird working stiffs. (Now streaming on Hulu)  

SHAMELESS

To get your addiction-com fix, part 2: Shameless

The Conners have nothing on the Gallaghers, who not only have a whole bunch of money problems, but also have to make sure their hopelessly alcoholic dad Frank (William H. Macy) doesn't go off and drink himself to death. Again, we swear it's funny! (Now streaming on Netflix and Showtime)  

one-day-at-a-time-netflix-streaming

casual-hulu-streaming

To get your sardonic daughter fix: Casual

If you're already missing Darlene (and Harris, aka Darlene 2.0), tune in to this indie-cool Hulu comedy, co-starring Tara Lynne Barr as the tough-minded, boundary-pushing Laura. (Now streaming on Hulu) 

The Carmichael Show - Season 3

To get your politically charged comedy fix, part 2: The Carmichael Show

In classic Norman Lear style, stand-up comic Jerrod Carmichael's NBC sitcom used a simple family setting to address complex cultural issues, from gun violence to sexual consent. They even did an episode about suspicious Muslim neighbors that Roseanne later ripped off... um, was inspired by. (Now streaming on Hulu)  

Chapter Eighty-One

To get your blue-collar family fix, part 2: Jane the Virgin

Sure, it's part soapy telenovela, but at its heart, Jane the Virgin is a story about a multi-generational family who lean on each other when times get tough — sound familiar? Oh, and if you need some laughs, allow us to introduce you to the self-obsessed antics of Rogelio De La Vega. (Now streaming on Netflix)

MICAH FOWLER, KYLA KENEDY

To get your blue-collar family fix, part 3: Speechless

Another fellow ABC sitcom, this one centers on a family caring for teen son JJ, who has cerebral palsy — and scrimping and saving to afford a good school for JJ. Did we mention it's also hilarious? (Now streaming on Hulu and ABC.com)       

Diamond Earrings and a Pumpkin Head

To get your addiction-com fix, part 1: Mom

If Roseanne Conner's opioid addiction struck a chord with you, give this bittersweet CBS comedy a try, starring Anna Faris as a single mom struggling to stay sober — with Emmy winner Allison Janney as her also-addicted mother. It's funny, we swear! (Now streaming on Hulu)   

PATRICIA HEATON, CHARLIE MCDERMOTT, ATTICUS SHAFFER, EDEN SHER, NEIL FLYNN

To get your blue-collar family fix, part 1: The Middle

When news of the Roseanne revival broke, a lot of fans pointed out that there's already a hilariously lovable Midwestern family struggling to get by on ABC. (And it aired directly after Roseanne this spring, you know.) Conner loyalists, come on over and meet the Hecks. (Now streaming on Hulu and ABC.com)   

getting-on-hbo-streaming

To get your Laurie Metcalf fix: Getting On

Maybe the hardest part about losing Roseanne is losing a chance to see Laurie Metcalf act each week. And assuming you can't spring for orchestra seats to see Metcalf's Tony-nominated work in Three Tall Women on Broadway, why not check out her criminally underrated HBO comedy Getting On? Metcalf stars as a tightly wound doctor in a hospital ward that caters to the very old and ill, and here's a big bonus: Niecy Nash, Alex Borstein and Mel Rodriguez round out the regular cast. (Now streaming on HBO Go)

To get your grumpy stand-up comic fix: Curb Your Enthusiasm

So you like an old curmudgeonly comedian sneering at modern trends and barking insults at everyone within earshot, do ya? Larry David may not be an exact replacement for Roseanne Barr, but he's prettay, prettay, prettay close. (Now streaming on HBO Go)
