You’re using your Hulu subscription to re-watch some of the best episodes of Letterkenny the other dayee when it really starts to hit you that we have seen the last of this hilariously unique phenomenon. Creators and stars Jared Keeso and Jacob Tierney’s hit comedy following the citizens of the titular rural Canadian town dropped its twelfth and final season in 2023 — ending a fruitful era of eccentric characters of a diverse “ply,” intense fisticuffs, and rapid-fire dialogue you would need a special glossary to keep up with.

To be fair (to be fairrrrrrrrrr), just because the Letterkenny cast took their final bow does not mean you need get all gutty about it as there are plenty of other great sitcoms available to watch that a fan would likely give a Texas-size 10-4 to if they gave it a shot — not even counting the direct spin-offs, Shoresy and the animated Littlekenny. So, pitter patter — let’s get our choices for shows like Letterkenny, and learn how to watch them.

Trailer Park Boys (2001-2018)

A documentary film crew follows the booze-filled and often illegal activities of a trio of life-long friends (played by John Paul Trembly, Rob Wells, and Mike Smith) while living in a mobile home community.

Why it is worth checking out if you are a fan of Letterkenny: Before Letterkenny, the most popular sitcom following a group of eccentric characters in a rural Canadian town was Trailer Park Boys — creator Mike Clattenburg’s mockumentary-style spin-off from a 1999 movie of the same name currently exclusive with a Netflix subscription — that, also like Letterkenny, has its own special holiday episodes and an animated spin-off series.

Stream Trailer Park Boys on Netflix.

Corner Gas (2004-2009)

Why it is worth checking out if you are a fan of Letterkenny: Another popular TV show following blue collar characters in a rural Canadian town with an animated spin-off series that predates Letterkenny is Corner Gas — an award-winning comedy that, like Letterkenny, was also co-created by its star and is known for its cleverly absurd depictions of the mundane and downright uneventful.

After their crooked accountant causes them to lose everything, a wealthy family (played by Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, Dan Levy, and Annie Murphy) is forced to live in their sole remaining asset: a small town that they once purchased as a joke years earlier that's filled with eccentric characters.

Why it is worth checking out if you are a fan of Letterkenny: One of the all-time most popular TV comedies set in a rural town and produced in Canada is the Emmy-winning Schitt’s Creek — which, like Letterkenny, was created by two Schitt’s Creek cast members (Eugene and Dan Levy) and is especially beloved for its heartwarming themes of mutual respect and acceptance beneath its clever humor.

Why it is worth checking out if you are a fan of Letterkenny: Shifting gears to a few U.S.-based series that bear some similarities to Letterkenny, we have Welcome to Flatch — developer Jenny Bick’s short-lived, Americanized update of a British comedy called This Country — which also stars the American Pie movies’ Seann William Scott and one-time The Boys cast member Aya Cash.

Why it is worth checking out if you are a fan of Letterkenny: Cleverly taking inspiration from a certain Quentin Tarantino movie, creators Taika Waititi and Sterlin Harjo’s Reservation Dogs is a charming and inventive FX original, coming-of-age comedy that, like Letterkenny, sheds light on what goes on in the Indigenous reservation communities in rural areas in the modern day.
