Comedy Central Family was a television channel broadcasting comedy TV series. It launched in the Netherlands as a joint venture between Paramount International Networks and Endemol. It featured both foreign acquisitions and Dutch series from the Endemol libraries.

Its launch was originally scheduled for 1 September 2008.[1][2] It was, however, delayed and the channel eventually launched through cable operator Ziggo on 1 October 2008.[3] On the channel, the Dutch, American, British and Flemish comedy series are aired. Comedy Central Family was available via cable company Ziggo, KPN, Delta and Caiway.

Comedy Central Family closed in the Netherlands on 31 May 2018. However, some of its programmes did move to Comedy Central Extra.[4]
