Do you have any comfort shows you watch?

[bif]

For me: About once a week I'll watch an episode of "Naked City" then some Johnny Carson. And on weekends, I'll watch an old MST3K show.

How about you?

[Aristus]

1. The West Wing.

Seasons 1-4. Whenever the world is going wrong, and it seems like the human race is in its last chaotic, hellborn days, I relax with a few episodes from the first four seasons of the greatest television show of all time.

[MuseRider]

4. I go there too

when I need something that I loved and made me feel like things were OK, even when they are not. It provides some short term comfort.

It was just so well done that even without the politics it was just comforting and entertaining.

3. Yes

Outlander - historically pretty accurate and gorgeous in every way!

Heartland (CBC) - have to wait for it to hit here

Only Murders in the Building - Paul Rudd and the great MERYL STREEP are new adds this season!!!!!

Rez Dogs - perfection. Not really comfort, but exquisite balance of comedy and drama. 100% indigenous-created!

[Glorfindel]

5. The Big Bang Theory. Never fails to cheer me up.

[LakeArenal]

24. Me too. That and Simpsons.

6. Maine Cabin Masters

Saving old fishing camps in Maine. Usually the scenery is beautiful and the crew often recycles building materials to make comfortable cabins. Lots of family history involved at times and the construction crew gets along very well.

7. I guess I'm weird

I'll watch The Incredible Dr. Pol or Dr. Jeff, Rocky Mountain Vet, either of which make me feel good because they treat animals and people so well. Sometimes even Pit Bills and Parolees.

I also like Outlander, because I know how well Diana Gabaldon did her research. I liked Heartland but I finished all the episodes. Also The Good Doctor, Station 19, 911, Chicago Med, and 911 Lone Star, because as a retired RN, well.....yeah. Not that crazy about Grey's Anatomy although I keep up with it.

[DBoon]

16. We really like Pit Bulls and Parolees

We = me, my wife, and our pitbull

[ariadne0614]

8. The Murdoch Mysteries (CBC)

Our need for escape must be huge, because we’ve binged through 15 seasons (~16-20 each) in eight months.

9. Love the various zoo programs,

especially the ones from "down under".

And I've saved the "Librarian" movies and the "Librarians" series. Always a delightful twist, totally disappointed that it was cancelled.

[Auggie]

11. These days it's Frasier

it's a darn funny sitcom.

[bamagal62]

12. 3rd Rock from the Sun

Brilliant show.
Movies: the first Indiana Jones, the first Jurassic Park, Fargo

[Midnight Writer]

14. New Tricks. I also like MST3K, as well as RiffTrax and related.

[bif]

30. Plus Cinematic Titanic and The Film Crew.

[Midnight Writer]

31. Thanks. Couldn't remember the names. Those shows are always fun to dip into.

[Bayard]

15. My latest obsession is, "Grimm"

"It has been described as "a cop drama—with a twist ... a dark and fantastical project about a world in which characters inspired by Grimms' Fairy Tales exist."

Its kind of like the X-files, only more quirky (and follows X-Files on the Comet channel). I record them, and watch every night.

Hey--they ended The Walking Dead!

[Basic LA]

19. Agatha Christie's Poirot

I've never yet picked out the murderer but I keep trying.

[kenisgod1]

20. The Joy of Painting

Bob Ross calms me down...😁

[Rebl2]

21. Old shows

like Will and Grace and I discovered Wings this summer, which I never watched when it was on. It has to be comedy for me. I would watch West Wing if I could find it. I also watch some shows on Food Network. Never been a late night night show watcher, except if Johnny had animal on with Joan Embrey- think that was her name.

[BlueIn_W_Pa]

23. Supernatural

with 15 some years with 20+ episodes per year, it's pretty cool

[LakeArenal]

25. I will watch any Downton Abbey any time it's on.

Never get enough of Violet.

[3catwoman3]

26. Downton Abbey and West Wing.

I pretty much have the dialogue memorized.

[dmr]

27. I have 3: The Closer, South Park, & Too Cute (Animal Planet)

I love to binge Too Cute. The show is based on the time span of puppies and kitties from their birth to their forever home. ❤️

They are adorable, sweet and just Too Cute. I smile, and laugh, and my heart just fills up with so much love.

I realize I might sound crazy describing a TV show this way, but I think DU'ers would be the first to understand.

If you've never seen it, please check it out. You won't be sorry. I stream it through Hulu.

29. Curb Your Enthusiasm...

Even though I've seen every episode a few times, most make me laugh like it was the first time!
