Do you ever find yourself watching some random TV show or movie, and you ask
why I haven’t watched this gem before? This happens nowadays more than ever,
as a direct result of the many different media available and pumping new
contents every day. For instance, even though I’d been aware of the existence of
Larry David’s ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm,’ I only found out about its awesomeness
thanks to a Clubhouse talk I participated in last year (2021) where a speaker was
going on and on about “Curb.” The same thing happened to me when I discovered
the sitcom “Community.” I remember asking myself how in the world this show
never peaked my interest.
The fact is, there are more contents coming out today and we can’t really keep up
with them, let alone catching up with old series and movies we skipped on their
heydays. However, sometimes going back to watch some of those films or TV
series we should’ve watched a long time ago is worth all of it. This is one of the
main purpose of our podcast Kickin & Streamin where we curate and review
contents streaming on every major streaming platforms and archive them as
podcast episodes you can listen to, and decide whether to give a new, or an old
TV show or movie a shot. From time to time, we also like to round up those
contents in YouTube video package exclusively for you. This week, we bring you a
list of 10 Most Underrated Comedy Movies & Sitcoms you may have totally
missed, and they are as follows:
