While Seinfeld remains one of the most beloved sitcoms on TV, there have been plenty of shows that have come out in the last decade or so that are equally worthy of praise. While everyone may have genres that they gravitate towards, and some people favor drama over action, or sci-fi over fantasy, most people tend to enjoy a good sitcom.
Sitcoms are comforting, relaxing, and enjoyable in a way that few other shows achieve. While the situations can range from the mundane, to the outlandish, there is always an element of comedy, and core characters who make each new situation into a hilarious opportunity.
And while Seinfeld was by no means the first sitcom , it did feel like a seismic shift had taken place with these types of shows, and it opened the door for a lot more creativity in the genre going forward.
One incredible example of a modern sitcom, which continues to have a core focus on a group of people living in close proximity and their day-to-day challenges, is Extraordinary. While the essential plot is pretty simple, there is one key change that makes this sitcom different, and also explains the name: Nearly everyone has superpowers.
That's right, in the age of the superhero genre taking over, a sitcom has been made around people with powers. However, unlike the gritty, realistic takes on superhero stories like The Boys , Extraordinary features powered people who range from having super strength and the ability to fly, to others who can turn into a cat, or 3D print items with their body, provided they have enough time.
