I used to watch The Simpsons semi-regularly, but there's only so
many times you can laugh at the same characters pulling the same
gags.
Nothing else you've mentioned so far rises above the level of
"formulaic crap" for me. Might as well be Seth McFarland and fart
jokes.

ME TV just started a run of WKRP in Cincinnati. "As God is my
witness, I thought turkeys could fly." *That* was a funny show.

Dirk Gently was, indeed, funny as hell, and weird as hell (though
not as weird as Happy!, but then, nothing is). Sadly, the humor was
a little too British (and cerebral) for an American audience.
