90's Trek is my go too comfort food. Especially TNG and Voyager. Less so Enterprise. And I never got into DS9 at all (fight me). When I'm looking for a random episode to watch in the background, it's usually one of those.
-
Comedy-wise, Community, Night Court (the original), The IT Crowd, The Office, Futurama, all fill the same role as Star Trek above.
-
Less often, but still on a pretty regular rotation, 80's shows like Quantum Leap, Simon & Simon, MacGuyver, Knight Rider. Just dumb shows where they have a one hour adventure and then have a new one the next week; where you don't have to stress about watching every damn episode because the entire season is one big plotline.

The Andy Griffith Show. Wholesome, and ALWAYS funny, at least until Don Knotts left the cast. I just watched an Earnest T Bass episode and an Otis the Drunk episode over the weekend.

The sopranos. Easily one of the best shows ever made. I catch new things every time I watch. David Chase is genius.
MASH. Just comforting background noise from my childhood really.
OG Simpsons. Seasons 3 to tenish. Some of the best writing ever.
Futurama, preferring the older seasons, but the later ones are still good.
I've recently started watching Hill Street Blues. Most of which is available on you tube if anyone's interested. Really been enjoying it.
Lemmy is really a different type of audience.
This question each and every time had The West Wing as top rated answer on the other platform consistently, but here even Taskmaster gets 8 votes.
The West Wing was required medicine to get through 45. For 47, I’m hearing good things about 86.
The Good Place
Bee and Puppycat
The Haunting of Bly Manor
The Haunting of Hill House
Chopped
House Hunters
Cold Case.
Hunter X Hunter, Attack on Titan, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Neon Genesis Evangelion, The Owl House
No particular order all are great imo
