What's your comfort show?

What's the TV show you watch on repeat when you don't want to focus too much?

Mine is probably Gavin & Stacy, Brooklyn 99 or Friends 😁

@Savingpeoplehuntingthings Supernatural for me too.

My DD just started watching it but has lots of questions about season 1. Unfortunately I only watched 1-3 once a few years ago as Cas isn't in those ones!

Frasier, although I haven't watched it for a couple of years now.

BoJack Horseman. Who knew a cartoon about an anthropomorphic horse with a drink and drug could be so great.

Location x 3
Gavin and Stacey!
Downton Abbey
Poldark
1995 Pride and Prejudice
Four in a Bed
The Royle Family

Emma Thompson Sense and Sensibility

and that ilk.

I rarely have possession of the remote control though!

Friday night dinner, Gavin and Stacey, Frasier, Outnumbered, Inbetweeners. There’s a channel on Pluto which shows back to back Homes under the Hammer and my really guilty pleasure is hiding under a blanket and watching that!
DD currently really into Death in Paradise and I’m really enjoying rewatching it with her. Very cosy and escapist!

US Office. Nothing lovelier on a winters evening after having not watched it for a while and settle in with a Chinese to watch Jim and Pam not be able to articulate their love for one another frustratingly for three seasons.

Oh absolutely love Nighty Night. It’s so underrated!

My other easy watch comfort shows:

Peep Show
US Office
The IT Crowd
And Friends of course!

We recently rewatched all of ‘Him and Her’ as well. Does anyone remember that? That’s a great comfort/easy watch too 🙂

Loved that show! I love Russell Tovey in everything he's in 😅 (especially Being Human)

It's a real genre isn't it? And we need more of them!

For me it's Ghosts, Parks and Recreation, What we do in the Shadows, Father Ted, The Detectorists.

All shows I genuinely mourned when they came to an end!

faffadoodledo · 01/09/2022 08:23

Oh and Motherland!

Is this a thing? I don’t have one!!!

It’s been years since I’ve seen it but if I had to pick to watch again it’d be friends. In fact I might watch some tonight could do with some of those happy feelings I used to have watching it. Fawlty Towers is another one.
