Benson

Benson has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in the US on fuboTV. With 7 seasons behind it, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 42 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Robert Guillaume sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Available now on fuboTV — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Benson is worth clearing space for. The jokes in Benson land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. A butler deals with life at the governor's mansion. The chemistry Robert Guillaume and James Noble bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. It ran for 7 seasons (1979–1986), and the writing holds up across every one of them. Benson earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Benson is a strong candidate. Fans of Shifting Gears will recognise the sensibility here immediately. 7 seasons in, there is no shortage of material once you get started. Robert Guillaume's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.

Benson wrapped up in 1986, created by Susan Harris — and 7 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
