Futurama gives me more comfort than any of my other comfort shows.
Half an hour, light, adult comedies in general for me. Animated ones are some of the most common in that theme.
Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy, American Dad, etc.
Futurama is my napping show. It makes me so comfortable that I can fall dead asleep.
Big same. I'll often turn it on when I'm having trouble falling asleep.
OG Twilight Zone and DS9
- What We Do In the Shadows
- IASIP
-Ted Lasso
-New Girl
-Schitt’s Creek
-Psych
Jackie Daytona - regular human bartender.
I put off watching What We Do In The Shadows because I thought the movie was overrated and kinda meh. But the show is fantastic.
Along the theme of some of your shows, I think you'd like Don't Trust the B--- In Apartment 23. Sadly they only made 2 seasons, but it's hilarious and deserved 6.
Psych FTW! Come on, son!
One Foot in the Grave. I just wish they'd made more of them.
Psych and early seasons of Castle
Hackers
Almost all Star Trek
The Bikini Beach movies
Holgan's Heroes
Movies: Ghostbusters, Amelie, Sing Street, Back to the Future
TV: Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Antiques Road Trip, The Joy of Painting, Rick Steves' Europe
Airplane! and/or Monty Python and the Holy Grail for movies.
For TV, I will watch Futurama, KotH, early episodes of the Simpsons and early eps of Family Guy. Not too much else comes to mind
OG Top Gear. Star Trek TNG.
Aside from others I see mentioned elsewhere here: MASH
Still just an amazing show. Alan Alda is wonderful.
The 1986 animated film Transformers the Movie. I can almost quote the script along with the voice actors at this point. It's like a big fluffy blanket when I've had a truly awful day.
Fun fact: It was Orson Welles's last performance before his death.
Similar to this, I am always looking for good shows to fall asleep to. Typically like something that has a dark color palette, no super loud dialogue or anything, etc. Right now, I've been falling asleep to The Clone Wars animated series. Lots of space backdrops, dark colors, and I think the Star Wars sounds are naturally cozy for me.
- Shaolin Soccer
- Back to the Future
- Jim Carrey: Ace Ventura, Dumb and Dumber, the Mask
- Aladdin (1992)
- Gargoyles
As a series to sit down and watch, it's gotta be Mad Men, which I've seen all the way through three or four times.
As a series to watch in bed before sleep, it's the BBC's Richard Osman's House Of Games. It's cerebral yet fun and tension-free, as the four contestants are British celebrities vying for little prizes like fondue sets, bathrobes, pet feeding bowls and the like. All episodes are uploaded to YouTube.
As a series to drift of to sleep to, also from the BBC - Gardener's World. If you decide to pay attention, it's actually fascinating and entertaining, yet the tone is always soothing. Many full episodes are on YouTube.
