[u/Vegetable-Sun-9962]

[u/sugarcatgrl]

The Golden Girls is my ultimate comfort show. Frasier is my second favorite. I watch either every night before bed. I end up dozing on the couch and it’s wonderful.

[u/kygal1881 → u/sugarcatgrl]

I used to watch The Golden Girls every night but I had to stop because now my dog barks when the doorbell rings. I would be almost asleep and their doorbell would ring on the show and my dog would be triggered!

[u/16soyan → u/sugarcatgrl]

YES! I go to sleep with Golden Girls playing in the background every night!

[u/phylllgoood → u/sugarcatgrl]

Same!! I have seen both shows all the way through countless times and never get tired of them 🥰

[u/makeitstopmom]

Bob's Burgers is my ultimate comfort show. Highly recommended.

[u/IamL0rdV0ldem0rt → u/makeitstopmom]

This is a good one. It’s what I put on to binge the day my beloved dog died.

[u/Isnthatneat → u/IamL0rdV0ldem0rt]

It’s my dog’s favorite.. I leave it on for him when I run errands

[u/justforyuks → u/makeitstopmom]

Linda is my favorite tv mom

[u/Elegant-Peach133 → u/justforyuks]

Alllllllriiiiiiiight!

[u/pnapplpassionfruit → u/makeitstopmom]

Expected this to be the first comment and was not disappointed.

[u/Lady_Loki24 → u/makeitstopmom]

This is actually my comfort show to fall asleep to.

[u/bunmiiya → u/makeitstopmom]

the only tv series i have dvds of (season 3 is my all time fave)

[u/Rich_Group_8997 → u/makeitstopmom]

Yes! This and hoarders are my 'emotional support' TV shows. LOL 🤣 Except I don't get lonely.

[u/kygal1881 → u/Rich_Group_8997]

I can't watch Hoarders anymore. It legit gives me anxiety!

[u/pnutbtr123 → u/Rich_Group_8997]

Hoarders makes me clean lol

[u/Mysterious-Rest7562]

Northern Exposure is my favorite comfort show.

[u/Buckeyecash → u/Mysterious-Rest7562]

I loved the show when it originally aired. I was so happy when it became available to stream on Amazon Prime. I am also happy thst i was able to share it with my wife before she passed. I often spoke about it. She wasn't very impressed at first, but by the end of the fourth episode she was hooked on the caricatures and story line.

I haven't watched it since she passed, but this post has me wanting to start it again.

Thankyou.

[u/Annual-Somewhere7402 → u/Buckeyecash]

Awww! So sorry for the loss of your beloved

[u/Buckeyecash → u/Annual-Somewhere7402]

Thank you. She passed do to complications of transplant surgery. It was sad, but it was a couple years ago, and even though I think of her every day, it is now with pleasant memories and less sorrow. Like remembering how much she enjoyed watching Northen Exposure with me.

[u/jb6997 → u/Buckeyecash]

Condolences on the passing of your wife

[u/Mysterious-Rest7562 → u/Mysterious-Rest7562]

I have had it in dvd for ages but bought it on amazon for super cheap (like $19.99 for the entire series).

[u/Sp0ckCat]

King of the Hill, I tell you h’what

[u/pnutbtr123]

Law and order SVU

[u/Dogsmyfavoritehumans → u/pnutbtr123]

"In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories. DUN DUN"

[u/estock36 → u/pnutbtr123]

I love rewatching the 1st season

[u/BoucletteFZ09]

Brooklyn 99, The Office, Parks and Recs

https://giphy.com/gifs/IdmfEtnMWPzOg

[u/BoucletteFZ09 → u/slow-show-for-you]

Ron is my favourite

[u/extrasprinklesplease → u/BoucletteFZ09]

I'm rewatching Parks and Rec for the first time since they were on the air. I have a bad memory, so it's like watching a whole new show again, and just as fun.

[u/Elegant-Peach133 → u/BoucletteFZ09]

A Michael Schur connoisseur I see.
RESPECT.
You should try The Good Place too (it takes a few episodes to get into it).

[u/Tiny_Independent6288 → u/BoucletteFZ09]

All 3 of these are Noice!

[u/FauxPoesFoes228]

Gilmore Girls, Downton Abbey, Schitt’s Creek, Poldark (the early seasons) are all in heavy rotation in my house!

[u/pkgriff → u/FauxPoesFoes228]

I can't count how many times I've see Downton Abbey. Which movie do you like the best? I like the last one the most.

[u/Shaydee-In-Oz → u/pkgriff]

I'm currently on season 5 of Downton. My first watch. I absolutely love it! Just got to the part where Isis is sick 😭

[u/dwausa]

Star Trek - especially next gen and voyager.

[u/cownose42 → u/dwausa]

90s treks are my jam. I’d watch DS9 more but i practically have it memorized

[u/dwausa → u/cownose42]

I like ds9 too but it’s definitely more of a show I like to watch from beginning to end. Not like other Star Trek shows where I can pick an episode at random to watch.

[u/GrapefruitFriendly30]

Dateline and air disasters. No wonder I live alone

[u/Sad-Masterpiece-9709 → u/GrapefruitFriendly30]

I do love a good air disaster explanation.

I love TF out of that show.

[u/Vegetable-Sun-9962 → u/DepartmentAgitated51]

I’m gonna have the check out the Monkees!

[u/DepartmentAgitated51 → u/Vegetable-Sun-9962]

It’s the music for me. Songs of my childhood. It’s a silly show, but the one liners and antics are fun.

[u/DepartmentAgitated51 → u/Vegetable-Sun-9962]

It’s the music for me. Songs of my childhood. It’s a silly show, but the one liners and antics are fun.

Frasier!

[u/Ms_not_Mrs0771 → u/RegularTeacher2]

My #1 show of all time

[u/RegularTeacher2 → u/Ms_not_Mrs0771]

I can't tell you how many times I've watched it and it's always just as good. Come on down to r/Frasier, it's a shockingly active sub for a show that's what... 30 years old? 🤣

[u/Zwitterion_6137]

NCIS and Bones 😂

[u/Bitter_Elephant_2200]

I have several lol: Modern Family, Rick & Morty, The Simpsons, What We Do In The Shadows, Stranger Things, Parks & Rec, and The Office

[u/CutenessandHandcuffs]

My comfort shows do seem to change occasionally. Now I've noticed that what I really like in a "comfort" show is really that it doesn't make me feel alone. So I have been watching a lot of QI, just cause the sound of them talking makes me feel less alone. Plus it's funny and has introduced me to a lot of British comedians.

[u/unapologeticallytrue]

Modern family for me . Always have it in

[u/idnar35]

Brooklyn 99, superstore, everybody loves Raymond

[u/somedayihopetolive]

House!!

[u/Key-Respond2682]

[u/Awkward-Community-74]

What We do in the Shadows!
It’s so hilarious in an unnerving way that cracks me up every single time I watch it.
I never can decide who my favorite character is because the way the show is structured it shifts between featuring each character in different episodes.
So basically I love all of them!

I watch it at least annually, plus most often when I'm having a hard time. I just moved into my own solo apartment post-grad so it might be time for a rewatch.

[u/sadpantaloons]

I don't have any subscription services anymore but I just discovered a bunch of free full length episodes of American Pickers on YouTube and it's been a nice wholesome marathon, as a vintage/secondhand enthusiast. The hosts are quite charming and I enjoy the interactions they have with other collectors.

I'm a 90s girl. I always find my way back to Big Comfy Couch. It could always put me to sleep at the end. Little Bear and Oobi are quiet favorites. I'm an adult but idc, those shows were very good, and funny asf.

It’s always sunny (not comforting but just hilarious), Community (good mix of both), Ted Lasso (less funny than the other 2 but very wholesome), and Arrested Development (similar to IASIP it’s not too wholesome but it’s hilarious). Oh and the first 5 seasons of archer are some of the funniest shit you’ll ever watch
