Most broadcast TV shows, with the commercials removed, are about 21-22 minutes long. Those are usually my go-to for lunch. I tend to re-watch series as well, so I don’t have to pay too close attention.
I’m currently re-watching Schitt’s Creek, but others I’ve enjoyed are Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Office, Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock, King of the Hill, The League, Scrubs, Workaholics.
It's not something you should do with random people, but we've all been best friends for over 10 years now, we usually know each others' boundaries. And the tv show "The League" was something we all had in mind as inspiration when starting this.
Your post makes me think of that recent (laptop?) commercial where the kid is going off to college, but is also starting a company, with the final scene being a teleconference where the kids presumably receive funding from some investors.
It's really pop culture. Take a browse around some of the new TV series coming out they usually will have some episode where they encounter a start up or one of the main characters creates a "start-upy" business themselves.
Two off the top of my head are The League, and Two Broke Girls.
Has been featured in the recent episodes of The League on FX as well.
As a French not interested in sports at all this would have made no sense at all to me before I watched the TV series The League [1]. Now I kind of enjoy the fact that these stats exist and are available in an open format, even if I don't really care myself.

Felt compelled to post because I hadn't seen Suits mentioned. Modern Family continues to be reliable for laughs and hasn't been added yet. The League is the other show which I find myself laughing out loud at least a few times every episode.
Hell on Wheels surprised me by having a strong second season.
I had high hopes for Copper, but it hasn't really grabbed me in the 1st handful of episodes.
Agree with all the obvious ones:
Homeland, Louie, Newsroom, Sherlock, Game of Thrones, Community.
My wife is addicted to Castle and I've come to really enjoy it too. Since we've caught up to date with that we've now switched over to Person of Interest, which I'm really enjoying.
I've fallen behind with the following and plan to catch up ASAP:
Dexter, Sons of Anarchy, 30 Rock, Breaking Bad.
PS: yeah, I watch a lot of TV :)
Wasn't this Taco's idea from the TV series The League? NeckFlix?
