For something a little more recent I've enjoyed Resident Alien quite a lot.

Ghosts. Both the UK and US versions.
Still Game. Watch with subtitles.
If you haven't seen jury duty, that was a great, if short series worth checking out
Ghosts (UK)
Futurama is great. Been around a while but just getting a new season
You should check out the original British version of shameless
I'm really enjoying "Good Omens" on Amazon Prime
If you liked Abbot Elementary, you'll also like Home Economics. Coincidentally I only watched it because it started auto playing after Abbot Elementary finished.
A lot of good suggestions in this thread, but for a combo of what you've already watched (Abbott Elementary and the British version of Ghosts) Bad Education is a comedy about a subpar British teacher.
The latest season of Miracle Workers is great. This season's theme is End Times. I just wish they had more episodes.
A light, fun and generally pleasant to watch show I enjoyed recently, is the Mindy project on Netflix
Bluestone 42 Green wing Uncle
If you've not watched Mork and Mindy, that's worth it. It was Robin William's breakout role in television, so if you know Robin, you know what you're getting. It's delightful.
I've been really getting into Korean tv on Netflix lately, too. Best watched with subtitles and no dubbing. My gf and I have been watching Good Manager, which is about a tacky mob accountant trying to run away from his problems by skimming flagrantly from all of the dodgy businesses he manages. He gets hired at a large corporation and thinks he's onto his biggest scam yet, but the accounting team are sincere, the managers are psychos, and he's still got a glimmer of heart beneath his red hair dye and 1980's Sears catalogue suits that makes stealing from big business really, really hard when they take it out on the little guy. It's had me absolutely rolling; people's facial expressions, their theatrics, and vigorous use of the leitmotif really brought it together. 10/10, for me.
