What's your 'comfort telly'?

[ButchersGirl]

So for me it's Gavin and Stacey and Friends. Whenever I need some comfort, they go on.

What's yours and what do you think it is that makes something 'comfort telly'?

The office (UK version)
The vicar of dibley
Gavin and Stacey

Reality TV. Jersey Shore, Below Deck, Made in Chelsea, that kind of thing.

friends
schitts creek
Big Bang theory

Gavin and Stacey
Downton Abbey
Benidorm
Big Bang Theory

Repair Shop.

Informative and heart warming.

Perfect comfort viewing.

Big Bang theory for sure - in fact I'm watching it right now 🤷‍♀️😂

Four in a Bed. I love that it is so formulaic, and also how rude people are!

Benidorm, made in Chelsea, friends, real housewives of Cheshire... then I have my crime "comforts" like criminal minds and csi

Midsomer murders
Doc Martin
Deadliest catch
Dateline

Keeping up appearances
Only fools and horses
Currently watching big bang

Friends
How I met your mother

Teen mom (UK and US). I don't tell people in real life

Bewitched
Heartbeat (it's the scenery)

Roger and val have just got in.
Jam and Jerusalem
Rosemary and Thyme

Gavin and Stacey or Inbetweeners

The 1995 BBC TV Pride and Prejudice.

Just found Below Deck - I'm hooked!

Murder she wrote
Columbo
Or most things on the cooking channel- not Ainsley though. And I hate bake off

The Simpsons. I've watched it since 1990 and it always brings me comfort and cheers me up in times of need.

Friends
Schitts Creek
Donnerladies
Modern Family
Old Bake-Off episodes

Oh also bobs burgers! 😂

Dinner Ladies
Death in Paradise

Historical stuff like Downton Abbey, call the midwife, the Durrells.
Or complete fantasy in different universes like his dark materials, Dr who, the sandman etc
Basically as far away from contemporary realism as I can get

Oh yes that's good.
And....90 Day Fiancé.
Just discovered Hell Road. Lots of gnarly, rugged, weathered men who clear up huge crashed and overturned trucks in remote places in horrendous weather. Gripping!

Gilmore girls. Cosy, minimal drama, american but not too american. No major deaths, small town charm etc.
