For me it’s Wolf children. I watch it when I’m not feeling the best physically or mentally. What’s your comfort watch?

    New Girl Parks and Rec

    They’re just both so upbeat and light. Although during lockdowns seeing happy people having close relationships with friends just made me more sad! Still, it was probably good to have those feelings bubble up so I couldn’t keep ignoring them.

    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.

    I know this will sound strange, but Battlebots got me through some dark moments during the pandemic. Something about watching robots rip each other to shreds really takes me away from my problems.

    I like having background noise, and find that I focus better when something is running that I can follow without paying full attention to it. I’ve seen these 3 all the way through over 20 times, at least so they’re useful for that. I also just plain love the shows… Shoresy S2 can’t land soon enough.

    Gilmore Girls or Taskmaster in terms of TV shows, but Buffy, Stargate SG-1 and QI are in the mix as well.

    Filmwise I would say Clueless.

    So many people saying TNG haha. Is that show really that universally appealing or are y’all just my age?

      There’s not really many - if any (I can’t think of any off hand) - shows like it. It’s got a bit of adventure and/or intrigue, but also drama, decent acting (most of the time), and most importantly a hopeful, non-violent message. Not even the newer ST shows (or the horrible JJ Abrams movies) can make that final boast. It’s definitely in my top three go-to shows.

        For a generation that has nothing but existential threats and anxiety, TNG is a great show to watch. It’s nice seeing something on TV that’s actually hopeful for humanity.

    Robinhood: Men in Tights! Any time I’m sick with a cold or flu I go and get some food and chill out in front of the TV to watch it. No matter how bad I’m feeling it always makes me laugh.
