Please send me ideas for something really uplifting or funny on tv

[CalculatingSuccess]

Currently in the middle of a major depressive episode, am alone as the girls are at their Dad’s for the night, and have done everything in my “self care toolkit” and still feel incredibly low. I need to put the tv on until I can take my bedtime meds and go to bed.

I need to stream something that will get me to bedtime. Can anyone help?

Thank you xxx

The good place
This is us
Young sheldon
parks and recreation
Big bang theory

Was going to suggest Ghosts! It’s our go to for cheer!

Marking my place, thank you op!

Agree with Schitt's Creek.
Two Doors Down (on iplayer)

I find Gilmore Girls great comfort tv

@colouringindoors snap! I came on to say Gilmore Girls. Love it, so heart warming.

Father ted - never fails me
motherland
the windsors on all 4
the IT crowd
my name is earl
black books

Father Ted, Vicar of Dibley, Peter Kay. How about exercise, yoga with Adrienne on Youtube is good. Somehow following spoken instructions and concentrating hard helps me get out of my head.

Jane the Virgin
On Netflix

Derry Girls
Father Brown - It's on the Alibi channel
Dinner ladies

I'd say Miriam and Alan on C4 fits the brief and is wonderful, but I do love Miriam Margoyles so I may be biased, but doesn't everyone love Miriam?

Motherland
Shitts creek
The good doctor
Bad sisters
Perfectly Legal
White Lotus
Whilst not all strictly feel good, are worth a watch

Some easy mentioned on here but I would suggest:

grace and Frankie - netflix
fleabag
superstore
father ted
vicar of dibley

*already, not easy

Escape to the country
a place in the sun
hallmark movies(itvplayer now have a few of the cheesy ones on there!)they are pure chic flick
your all going to jump on me but one of my go tos is actually law and order special victims unit.I’ve watched it from the start so the team are like family.and the bad ass that is the Olivia ,the female lead is just wow.
tour house made perfect on bbc iPlayer
just finished inside man which is not light hearted but oh so good.
grand designs
the larkins
doc Martin

ive just started YOU on Netflix. Not feel good but I’m distracted and hooked.

We're rewatching My name is Earl at the moment - absolutely brilliant show : don't know many people who've watched it but it's just so silly.

What we do in the shadows is terrific as well.

When I want comfort tv I tend to watch things like The Repair Shop, Renovation Nation, Grand Designs, Bake off or comedies like The IT Crowd, Alan Partridge, Man Down, Frasier etc. ( as well as Ghosts and all the great stuff already mentioned like Motherland, Schitts Creek and Modern Family.)

Taskmaster is a great shout - 14 series to catch up on!

Hullraisers and Bloods are two recent comedy series I really enjoyed.

You is fab but definitely not feel good nor uplifting and actually makes me worry for myself that I'm rooting for Joe!

Oh yes, second the Taskmaster recommendation. All the old series are on 4 on demand. Light hearted. The perfect distraction!

Thank you for this thread, OP. I'm also in need of cheering up.

Definitely Motherland, I T Crowd, dinnerladies and Black Books.

Agog that people are recommending Fleabag as a suggestion! It's brilliant but it's hardly feel good!

Going to try Ghosts.

Just thought - what about The Great Pottery Throw down? Channel 4. Think the original series was BBC.
