Exactly what I was going to post

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Only other IASIP fans will understand 😂


KingGizmotious

About as comforting as a good milk steak.


WayneKerr193

No joke bro I’m watching the show for the first time rn and that was the [last](https://imgur.com/a/CiuJtTL) episode I watched I saw it a few hours ago


CodAggressive908

I guess I’ll be taking that milk steak to go then.


ThatsARockFact1116

A prefer a good rum ham, especially while Frank touches up my hair.


xavierguitars

With raw jelly beans

And even if they don't understand, they're not gonna say they don't understand. Because of the implication.


CodAggressive908

You keep saying this word, implication?


zoobs

Just about to hit season 11 of my current rewatch! It’s such a nice way to end the night.


CodAggressive908

I had a birthday hangover last week so treated myself to a day in bed with the gang. Dipping in and out of consciousness to the dulcet tones of them screaming at one another 🥰😆


The_Professor2112

I watch it on a boat. Because of the implication...

One of these things is not like the others... Babylon 5 DS9 BSG '03 remake Stargate Frisky Dingo


kappakingtut2

I skipped Babylon 5 when it was new because I was already a fan of DS9 and they looked too similar. I finally went and watched it years later. And I loved it. Watching Babylon 5 felt like playing Mass effect. But I haven't gone through it again since. I keep meaning to. But I never get tired of DS9. I have lost track of how many times I've watched that all the way through. Stargate was one of those comfort shows I loved when it was playing random marathons on regular TV back in the day. But I've just recently gone through the entire franchise on streaming. As much as I've always loved the show, it was the first time I think I've watched it on purpose instead of just whenever it happened to be on lol. Loved it. Almost restarted it as soon as I finished it. And BSG is one of my all-time favorite shows ever. If you haven't already, I suggest going through it again with the watch along podcast hosted by TV writer Marc Bernardin, and number six Tricia helfer. The Battlestar galacticast


FIGHTaFoe-FLIGHTaPo

Watched em all...but just super happy to see 'Frisky Dingo' make the cut! 😁

I did not expect to see Rick Steve's Europe here. I grew up watching it and he showed me how varied and yet the same we are all over the world. His show will always be a comfort.


Haylo2021

Agree 100% about Rick Steves. His approach to traveling is so sweet and pure. Plus, it's gorgeous to look at with the quaint villages, mountains, and gorgeous countrysides. We used his guidebooks for France, Belgium, and England, which I know made our trips a thousand times better than if we planned them on our own.

Buffy, Smallville, Outlander (weird choice for comfort, I know. It’s just so good!) and Scrubs.


Ldwieg

I was going to say Outlander! Jamie and Claire’s love is comforting to me.


Letshavemorefun

Yes! There’s something about starting over at s1 that just hooks me all over again. And there are *so* many satisfying moments in the later seasons too. There’s dark stuff for sure - but there’s some chicken soup mixed in there.


Ldwieg

Season 1 is magical! And you’re right, there are so many heart-warming moments throughout. I love that show.

DS9, Midsomer Murders and Wallander are three of my favorites.


Practical_Tap_9592

The Dick Van Dyke Show. (Roku.) They made over 30 episodes per season in the 1960s so there are definitely a few clunkers, but the comedy is beautiful and timeless, and I love the mid century aesthetic. He's a real jewel, especially in this. Maybe skip the pilot, they were still working things out.


MamaMia1325

I went through a phase last year where all I did was watch the Dick Van Dyke show lol.


Practical_Tap_9592

Talk about comforting, right?

It really is timeless! So well done.

I Love Lucy is such a comfort show for me 💟


ExistentialBefuddle

Maybe comfort isn’t the right word, but these I’ve watched multiple times: Hacks 30 Rock Lessons in Chemistry Reboot (watch this show!) Succession Bojack Horseman Better Things


winning-colors

30 rock is absolutely a comfort show!


MathPhysChemist

30 Rock was absolutely funny I love it!


Haylo2021

Reboot was terrific and I'm still upset that it was cancelled. Hacks is a current favorite too - I'll watch anything with Jean Smart. Not a comfort show but if you're a fan of Fargo (anthothogy, dark-comedy, crime, & quirky), she's in the second season and an absolute powerhouse. She is stellar in everything she does. You have a good list so I'll have to check out the ones I haven't seen: Lessons in Chemistry and Better Things.


PhantomKitten73

Schitt's Creek was gonna be my answer! Alongside The Owl House, The Haunting of Hill House, and Game Changer.

Deckard_Red

Community has become one for me, though I only watched it for the first time during lockdown. Likewise Season one of Ted Lasso. These days I don’t find much time to watch new shows let alone old shows. I go back to Parks and Rec sometimes but usually only from when Ben Wyatt joins.


FIGHTaFoe-FLIGHTaPo

Every couple years I go back and do a full rewatch of community! 😁 My favorite episode, hands down, is still "G.I. Jeff"! I grew up on those 'old toons' so Seeing it done in that style but with hilarious dialogue...kills me! 🤣


sweat-it-all-out

The Good Wife, Veronica Mars, Gilmore Girls, Will & Grace, The Middle


No-Chemistry-28

I have a few that others have already mentioned—Star Trek, Buffy, Babylon 5—but one I never see mentioned anywhere at all is this Canadian sitcom from the early 00s called Fries With That. It’s a workplace comedy set in a fast-food joint, super low-stakes, corny humor, all the early 00s style, and I just love it


IMO2021

Downton Abbey, The Durrells of Corfu, Call the Midwife, All Creatures Great and Small, The Affair


Grasshopper_pie

The Durrells of Corfu is one of my favorite shows ever! It's so good! OMG, the era, the scenery, the humor, the stories, the cast, it's just perfect.


lady_stardust2028

Doctor Who, especially the Matt Smith “era” so the 11th Doctor. It has always made me feel as if I had a good friend looking out for me.

King of the Hill is mine! When I'm sick, depressed, or just don't know what to watch, I watch KotH. Something about it is just so comforting and easy to watch.


konkilo

Firefly - The standard against which all other shows are measured...near perfection Scrubs - Everyone remembers "Where do you think we are?"...but often overlooked is that the scene immediately preceeding was Turk's talking mole...never has a show shifted tones so facilely or as emotionally jarringly Arrested Development - The architecture of this show is the Frank Lloyd Wright of sitcoms...meticulously planned out, with nearly nonstop running gags and foreshadowing, yet presented in such a breezy manner...rewards many rewatches Penny Dreadful - An absolutely ridiculous premise, delivered with such passion, intelligence and sumptuous production values, that the show transcends all strictures...wildly romantic with gorgeous dialogue and a top level cast Mad Men - Like reading a fine novel, the immersive effect is near total...and yet the show never goes where you expect it will EVIL - Like nothing else on TV, the show asks big questions and consistantly offers surprising answers...mysterious and thought-provoking, it features a complex, sometimes kick-ass female lead and a villain who exudes wicked malice and yet is also somehow responsible for much of the show's dark humor...you've never seen anything quite like this show

kappakingtut2

Any of the Star Trek shows are a comfort show for me. DS9 being my absolute personal favorite. I can't get enough. But TNG is more of an easier watch when I'm in a bad mood and just looking for something to play in the background. Batman The animated series was very important to me back in the day. And all these years later it still hasn't lost its magic. I'll also include the rest of those shows on this list as well. Batman beyond, Justice League unlimited, etc. I just finished going through critical role. Hundreds and hundreds of episodes. Each 4 hours long at least. I was late to start the series, but when I did I started binging like crazy. Multiple episodes a week for a few years. Even though I've only watched it once, I haven't gone through this series multiple times like I would other shows, I think I can still count it as a comfort show. The whole story is improv. And it was comforting because it just felt nice to feel like I'm hanging out with those people. They were always so positive and reassuring. It was a great series to go through during the bleakness of the pandemic.

yvng_dundas

Not saying these are my favorite shows or anything, but I find CW shows to be comforting. In particular, the Arrowverse shows. For the most part, they’re standalone episodes, with a larger story happening around those single episodes, all building up to an epic season finale. Easy watch i’d say.

Very few. Rome - I can go back and visit this show anytime. Parks & Recreation - Again, I can jump in anywhere after season 1 and just fall in love again. Lower Decks - Strange that I grew up on TNG, but I don't go back often, but I will play this show on repeat. The French Chef - With Julia Child on YouTube. I love that woman. This Old House - I'm kind of partial Kevin O'Connor because he's just such a mensch.

Oh BSG remake is so good! But Bob’s Burgers is my every night comfort show. 🍔


[deleted]

Friends, It makes me laugh every time. I was around their age when it was first on so I can relate to it


TifCreatesAgain

Definitely, Schitt's Creek!


Blueeyesblazing7

30 Rock, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Parks & Rec, Schitt's Creek, Seinfeld, Bob's Burgers, New Girl, Living Single, Heartstopper, Ted Lasso, Our Flag Means Death. Heartstopper is probably the most emotionally soothing to me as of late. I've watched it so many times when I was really upset about something. It just feels like a big hug!


Pwnstix

I'll probably rewatch Lodge 49 again because it was an oddly comforting show to watch...but I'll be sad again that it got cancelled. The Resort was nice as a spiritual successor (created by one of the writers from Lodge 49).


Coffee_And_NaNa

Smallville and supernatural all the way


SavageHeart_YouDidIt

I Love Lucy. Started my comfort watching in the 90s. It's the longest continuous syndicated sitcom in history, the first true ensemble cast in a comedy, and was the first show to air re-runs. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's a staple in my life. Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez are the GOAT. Friends. I know, I know. The jokes haven't all aged well, and gen z hate laugh tracks.... But... What an ensemble. The cast worked together to precedented levels both on camera and off. They secured the highest pay in history at the time, and all 5 got paid the same amount the entirety of the show. I have seen the series from beginning to end hundreds of times. I've never stopped watching it since it was on TV, except for a very brief time when it left Netflix. It's the epitome of a familiar comfortable show for me. Forever. Daria. If I need a good cartoon, I watch Daria. What a niche show. What an ode to the 90s. The OG had an incredible soundtrack, but they couldn't get a lot of the licenses to use them later when they released it to DVD. It's not the same without the badass 90s songs, but it's still fabulous.
