What's your 'comfort telly'?

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'?

Say Yes To The Dress (all franchises) and any other wedding dress or wedding planning show.
Any property programmes. Particularly any with George Clark or the ones with the Scott twins.

Yes! Say Yes is my favourite and it seems to be on all the time. Not Don’t Tell The Bride though. I Used to like it but can’t stand it now that they seem to force the grooms to do a terrible job.

@Favouritefruits I like Plathville too but omitted it from my list due to the shame I feel 😂

Spanglybangles · 18/08/2022 20:02

@MrsMoastyToasty agree with all of yours too.

Wtf is wrong with you all… Gilmore Girls. Obviously 😂

Ponderingwindow · 18/08/2022 21:51

Gilmore girls was my comfort show until they went and ruined it with the reboot. Knowing those were supposed to be the last words with the age that the characters would have been when the show originally ended was infuriating.
