I love Brooklyn 99, but couldn't get into Parks & Rec at all. Like OP I didn't find anyone likeable, which is why I quit after three or four episodes. In contrast, I love everyone on Brooklyn 99 and it's my favourite comedy show at the moment. It's my TV highlight of the week.

As for positive sitcoms, isn't Community supposed to be that? Like P&R I couldn't get into Community at all, but what I've seen from gifs and around fandom I thought Community avoided cringe humour as well.

Community avoids cringe humor but its characters are IMO much, much less likable and much more critically flawed than P&R's characters

I think the Community gang are quite likable. They're all different, but they get along well, and it works.

Pierce and Winger are jerks to varying degrees.

DA

My dislike of nearly every Community character is the main reason I started losing interest around the third season. I enjoy Abed most of the time, and Troy some of the time, but the rest of them are incredibly irritating and grating to me. There's no accounting for taste, we really can't control what we find likable and what we don't. For example, Annie would probably be a legitimately likable person in real life, but on-screen, she annoys the hell out of me.

Abed and Shirley are the only characters in Community I find at all likeable.

I gave up on Parks & Rec after two episodes because, like you, I found the characters unlikeable and cringe-worthy, I just couldn't watch it. I fast-forwarded most of those two episodes.

I gave it another try on the insistence of a friend. She advised me to skip season one completely. It's like it was a different show. The characters from Season two and onwards are completely different people. They are funny and quirky and loveable. Now, it's one of my favourite shows.

na

Yeah, I think Parks and Rec is one of the only shows where I frequently tell people to just straight up skip season one and read summaries about the first season instead. It's almost astoundingly bad. Season two was kind of rocky for a while too, but it was definitely and improvement and then it just kept getting better imo

I found Community's characters all unlikeable, some horribly so. I was so disappointed.

The big problem with P&R is that it didn't hit its stride until season 2. I initially quit after a few episodes, too, but then I happened to see an episode from the middle of s2 and it was like watching a different show.
