[Lambtron]

Bob's Burgers.

 

[Protome]

Archer and DBZ Abridged are my go-tos. I just gravitate towards something light and funny when I need something to watch without any effort.

 

[hughesta]

Always Sunny. Doesn't get any better.

 

[Takuan]

BK99

 

[Glass Shark]

The Office. I've probably seen every episode at least 5 times and it's still funny.

 

[Iadien]

The Office, Community, or the first few seasons of Lost.

 

[Triteon]

Gintama, early simpsons, Monkey.


Ooh forgot storage wars, thats my "ive got a fever and i cant pay attention" background show

 

[Vincent Grayson]

The Office is my main one, but also The Simpsons, Seinfeld, and South Park.

 

[Dantooine]

Columbo (only the 70's ones)
Battlestar Galactica (again, only the 70's series, screw Galactica 80)
Hunter

 

[shwimpy]

Curb and Friends. Have either one playing the background every night I go to bed.

 

[brinstar]

Parks and Rec, especially S2 - 3-era Parks and Rec

 

[Desparadina]

Law and Order: SVU just turn my brain off and watch and sometimes it even makes good background noise when im working

 

[blame space]

Bob's Burgers.

this is a great one

 

[Dreadnought]

The Office
Futurama
Cowboy Bebop

 

[Dead Prince]

Unsure but Malcolm in the middle just hit the nostalgia

 

[Jarrod38]

Law and Order: SVU just turn my brain off and watch and sometimes it even makes good background noise when im working

Just spent all day marathoning SVU.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

Archer and NCIS. I tried Law & Order SVU, but there's so many of those I haven't seen to where I end up focusing in on it too much. Nor is there much about that show that I'd label as comforting.

I'm probably more of a background movie guy than with shows. Shawshank Redemption and Black Hawk Down are pretty high up there.

 

[Bronx-Man]

 

[FromAtoX]

Seinfeld, Always Sunny and Rick & Morty.

 

[TheWrathOfSean]

TNG for me for sure.

 

[YaBish]

Parks is the GOAT comfort show.

Otherwise, Archer or Ghost Adventures (before Netflix removed it).

 

[Voras]

30 Rock, my favorite show and my go to whenever I've got nothing else to watch or when I'm feeling down.

 

[Ramsiege]

Scrubs

 

[Rhaknar]

These days, Brooklyn Nine Nine. Rick and Morty a close second.

Over the years I've had some. Friends, X-Files, Community, Futurama. We're talking about shows you can rewatch (and DO rewatch) over and over again when you dont want to do anything else or are feeling down right?

 

[half a moon]

Friends

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Forensic Files or Seinfeld.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Conan

 

[Teepo671]

Mine would be:
Bob's Burgers
Married with Children
The Simpson's
Seinfeld
Futurama

 

[blame space]

i can't believe that in 2020 there isn't a 24/7 antiques roadshow channel

like what is modern living even about

 

[Khezu]

Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

 

[Red Arremer]

Babylon 5, Star Trek: Deep Space 9 and Star Trek: The Next Generation.

 

[Brandson]

I can watch old episodes of these any time:
Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee

Grand Designs
American Experience
Jeeves and Wooster

[Killerhertz]

 

[buttery fistful]

South Park, then Futurama

 

[Sora_N]

Friends and How I Met Your Mother.

 

[ColonialHawk]

Scrubs

 

[iFirez]

For me it's either Parks and Recreation, That 70's Show, or The Office US.

This. Or Friends.

 

[Maengun1]

Every single night I fall asleep watching 2 or 3 episodes of The Simpsons, King Of The Hill, Bob's Burgers or American Dad that I've seen 100 times before

 

[secretanchitman]

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Home Improvement
Top Gear

 

[HitchcockInTheZiplock]

Supernatural, or SVU. If they're on TV I'll watch the reruns. If I'm on ps4 browsing hulu, netflix, or amazon, I might just throw them on to wind down the night.

 

[Osukaa]

The Great British Baking Show. Or the whole NHK channel.

 

[Saint of Killers]

Steptoe and Son
Last of the Summer Wine *cough* (The earlier the series the better.)
Porridge
Only Fools and Horses (Again, the earlier the series the better.)
Red Dwarf (Any BBC broadcast episodes where Rimmer is a regular occurring character.)
Open All Hours
Horizon
The Sky at Night
The Simpsons (Up to whichever series was considered the last of the classics. 9?)
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Rugrats (First few series)
Dinnerladies (+ Just about anything else by Victoria Wood)

Comfort films:
12 Angry Men
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Godfather
Goodfellas
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy (original)
Shawshank Redemption

Spot the odd the one out xD What can I say? It's a guilty pleasure, one which I hope I never tire of.

 

[theifofdreams]

After the election was called, I had to watch Parks and Rec to center and pull myself out of depression.

Really, it's just the happiest and most feel good show I've ever seen.

 

[Saint of Killers]

The Great British Baking Show. Or the whole NHK channel.

!

Tokyo Eye
Great Gear
Cool Japan
At Home with Venetia in Kyoto
Any one of their food/cooking and tourism related shows

Those were (maybe they still are but I haven't seen tuned into NHK World in ages) shows on NHK World.

 

[Randy Monk]

Red Dwarf - No matter how down I am or how my situation in life is not so great, I watch Red Dwarf. 3 million years in deep space with only a hologram, a senile computer and a life form evolved from cats as company. Also the last human being alive for that matter....

 

[blanchot]

blue jam

 

[Got]

Parks & Rec.

 

[Doikor]

Ancient Aliens

or one of Anthony Bourdains travel/food shows.
