Comforting TV shows

[BursarsDriedFrogPills]

These are uncertain times. We are all likely to be at home a lot more than usual. So I'm after comforting TV shows to watch.

So far we've watched things like The Good Place, The Crown, The Split (not comforting as such but so well written). And now rewatching Death In Paradise (which is very not cool but also very comforting!). But I'd be very grateful for your top tips too.

No horror. Limited violence. And probably not hospital dramas at this point in time please!
TIA

Jonathan Creek?

Detectorists- the most comforting programme ever.

The detectorists! It's on iplayer and is really gentle and lovely! Definitely worth a watch.

Ha! Snap!

Virgin River, on Netflix, is cheesy but so good!!

The Vicar of Dibley.
Only Fools and Horses.
Moominvalley.
Downtown Abbey.

Darling Buds of May
At Home With The Braithwaites

Ha! I came on to say Detectorists too!
Perfect comfort viewing. Happy place.

We are watching d in p too. Just started the young offenders too, very funny and silly but very warm, it does have some heart string moments (I have blubber a bit) but they are from a place of love if that makes sense. It fitted my mood last night!

The Mentalist. There's something very, very lovely about the chemistry that show created between the main characters.

The Durrells is immensely warm and lovely with some great little moments of comedy.

Do you really want to know what I've been rewatching in these uncertain times, though? GBBO on Netflix 😂

Parks and Recreation (season 1 was a bit ropey, but stick with it!)
Life in Pieces
The Goldbergs
Modern Family
Doc Martin
Any Rick Stein type travelogue

Darling buds of may! Good idea! Also Jeeves & Wooster and All Creatures Great & Small - are they anywhere? I’m remembering all the lovely Sunday evening things from when I was small now. House ofElliot!
I wonder if we will see the schedules change a bit?

Friends. The one I always find comforting is The Upper Hand..an oldie but a goodie!

Great British bake off celeb special is great.

No more dystopia for me 😱

Strike
Suits
Pride and Prejudice!
Buffy

I also cane on to say The Detectorists...

OP- great idea for a thread - thank you!

Poirot

Dinner Ladies, not sure where you can stream it, I have the DVD. So lovely.
I also like a bit of Austen on these occasions Emma with Romala Garai and Johnny Lee Miller is the best followed by Persuasion with Rupert Penry Jones.
As well as Detectorists, DIP, Johnathan Creek as has been mentioned.

Gilmore girls. Virgin river. Hart of Dixie.

I like Frazier and Cheers too. No concentration needed, but lots of laughs.

Midsomer Murders, Agatha Raisin, Great British Sewing Bee, Great Pottery Throw down, Miss Marple. Essentially craft related or cosy murder for me.

I have also been watching GBBO on Netflix as well. I find Mel and Sue deeply comforting. Unfortunately DH's tolerance of baking shows is minimal at the best of times so I've conceded that something with an actual story line is needed.

Was Agatha Raisin on television? Love the radio version.

I used to find Heartbeat very soothing but not sure if you'd find it anywhere now
