These are the best dramedies of all time - but what exactly is a dramedy? Some shows are clearly dramas or sitcoms. Clearly. Because those are two genres that exist. Everyone agrees that they exist. Others are dramas with just enough quirkiness or funny time laugh jokes to categorize them as a &quot;dramedy&quot; - a creative combination of <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/list-of-all-comedy-drama-movies/ranker-film?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">drama and comedy</a> that just works. It just does. Because we are humans and we like to laugh and cry and we love dramedies. If we can do them both at the same time to accommodate our busy schedule of overeating and destroying the planet, even better!&nbsp;

Proving that the sum can be greater than the parts, here is a list of the best of the best dramedies that have aired on US television. What would you say the best dramedy of all time is? Scrubs, Monk, and Boston Legal all take classic TV drama genres and add laughs for a delightful dramedy mix. Do you see your favorite dramedies? Maybe you should vote for them and see if others agree with you.

These are the best dramedies. The greatest dramedy TV shows to ever grace the airwaves!

2018: A Year in Review

2018

If you&#39;re getting bored with ongoing storylines in longstanding television programs, you may be on the hunt for some good new 2018 TV shows. Luckily, plenty of great shows made their debut this year.&nbsp;From new Netflix,&nbsp;Hulu, and Amazon Video original&nbsp;series to premium cable miniseries, plenty of 2018 TV shows will have you hooked fast.

Given the current&nbsp;popularity of the dystopian narrative, it&#39;s no surprise many shows that premiered in 2018 take place in a dismal futuristic setting.&nbsp;Altered Carbon,&nbsp;for example, is a sci-fi drama that takes place 250 years in the future. Reality series continue to be a staple of the airwaves, with shows like Love &amp; Hip Hop: Miami, The Four: Battle for Stardom,&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Bachelor Winter Games&nbsp;taking off. Other 2018 TV premieres include Black Lightning, The Chi,&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Alienist.&nbsp;

Amazon has become a major player in the original content game recently, creating unique one-hour and half-hour shows, as well as children&#39;s programming.

Other must watch Amazon original series include Mozart in the Jungle, The Man in the High Castle, Jean-Claude Van Johnson, and Sneaky Pete.

Lists about Saturday Night Live cast members, hosts, musical acts, and backstage antics of America's favorite sketch comedy series, airing from 30 Rockefeller Plaza since 1975.

Live from New York!

There might just be a machine in Lorne Michaels&rsquo;s mansion basement that churns out shows starring&nbsp;Saturday Night Live cast members. With over four decades on the air and tons of talent passing through the cast, there&rsquo;s certainly a lot of material to mine - all comedies, natch, but diverse in scope, from political Veep&nbsp;(Julia Louis-Dreyfus) to quirky Portlandia (Fred Armisen) to irreverent 30 Rock&nbsp;(Tina Fey, Tracy Morgan, Chris Parnell). Once SNL cast members become alumni, they are usually best known for their current roles, not their glory days on the show. Soon audiences forget that TV shows starring SNL alums are everywhere.&nbsp;

The talk show circuit has certainly benefited from vacating SNL cast. From Jimmy Fallon to Seth Meyers, some of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-snl-castmembers-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best SNL cast</a> member TV shows are holding it down in late night. Other former cast mates have teamed up &ndash; consider Will Forte and Jason Sudeikis, who have put some fine comedy on the small screen with The Last Man on Earth. Fred Armisen and Bill Hader created the acclaimed mockumentary series Documentary Now! And a number of SNL alum lend their voices to The Awesomes.&nbsp;

These TV series starring former SNL cast members crosses many genres and formats: some are animated comedies, some are talk shows, and some are only available through premium channels. But it&#39;s up to you to decide the very best of the best. Which TV shows with Saturday Night Live cast members rule? Vote up your favorites.&nbsp;

While Bridesmaids&nbsp;was a truly unique&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/funniest-female-comedians/kel-varnsen" target="_blank">female-led comedy</a>&nbsp;that was a massive box office hit,&nbsp;there are plenty of movies and TV shows to watch if you love Bridesmaids. Shows like Bridesmaids sometimes follow women preparing for a wedding while movies like Bridesmaids often star <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/kristen-wiig-characters/reference" target="_blank">Kristen Wiig</a>. What to watch after Bridesmaids really depends on your mood. What are some movies and TV shows featured on this list of recommendations for Bridesmaids fans? Saturday Night Live&nbsp;allowed Wiig, along with many of her Bridesmaids co-stars, to make a name for themselves in comedy. SNL episodes hosted by Melissa McCarthy are among the show's all-time funniest. Sex and the City is another TV show that Bridesmaids fans may enjoy, due to the fact it's a female-centered comedy that includes raunchier humor.&nbsp;Ghostbusters – starring Bridesmaids actresses Wiig and McCarthy – is another good recommendation. Other good films and series for people who love Bridesmaids include Wedding Crashers, Gilmore Girls, and Mike and Molly. What are&nbsp;your favorite Bridesmaids-esque movies and TV shows?

The Best and Worst of TV

The best comedy-drama TV shows, also known as dramadies, provide not only laughs but also heartfelt storylines. They have been <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-tv-shows-of-recent-memory?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">television staples</a> for years, but that&rsquo;s probably because people love the merging of those two genres. With so many comedy-drama shows, picking the best one of all time is a tough proposition. So determine which good comedy-drama shows are the best, fans like you have voted on their favorite funny dramas&nbsp;below.

What makes the combination of comedy and drama so successful? In large part, it&rsquo;s because one minute you could be laughing out loud and the next on the verge of tears. Thankfully, most comedy <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/greatest-television-dramas-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">drama TV shows</a> prioritize laughs over sadness, so you&rsquo;re never a puddle of tears for long. In the show Chuck for instance, the majority of the episodes maintain a level of brevity and only sometimes dip into emotional scenes.

Another great show that straddles the line between comedy and drama is Scrubs. In what may be the most emotional episode of the series, My Screw Up, we get a lighthearted episode until halfway through. From that point, the episode dips into downerville by revealing that one of the show&rsquo;s most liked characters was actually dead the entire episode.

So what are the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/list-of-all-comedy-drama-movies/ranker-film?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best comedy drama</a> shows of all time? Vote for the ones you love the most below.

Many <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/fantasy-tv-shows-and-series/ranker-tv?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">fantasy TV series</a> are also dramas - <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/list-of-all-sword-and-sorcery-movies/reference" target="_blank">swords and sorcery</a> go hand in hand with plots to <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-tv-shows-about-kings-queens/ranker-tv" target="_blank">overthrow the kings</a> and wizards that populate fantasy television. But, the best fantasy dramas get your emotions caught up in the fantastical worlds and characters. Both Supernatural and Game of Thrones offer drama and fantasy in equal measure.

2010s: A Decade in Review

The 2010s were a decade blessed (or, depending on how you look at it, cursed)&nbsp;with the rise of Peak TV and the dawning of some of the funniest comedies in TV history. Gone were the days of three channels with three hours of primetime slots and only a handful of funny-yet-safe shows to choose from - in its place was comedy after comedy mercilessly competing for viewing time and pushing the envelope of what it meant to be funny.

Sure, some of the top 2010s <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-new-comedy-tv-shows/ranker-tv?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comedy TV shows</a>&nbsp;were often also depressing (BoJack Horseman), or bizarre (Russian Doll), or an hour in length (Shameless), but that doesn&#39;t mean they didn&#39;t also contain some of the funniest moments in modern TV history. From animation to musicals to sketch shows to serialized sci-fi, comedy shifted forms and become unrecognizable like no other genre in the 2010s, and it&#39;s never looked better because of it.

So let&#39;s get ready to laugh, cry, feel crippling anxiety, and then laugh again, because in this list we&#39;re going to&nbsp;revisit 2010s best comedy TV shows.
