Just that really! Mine is Schitts Creek - easy to watch and always makes me laugh.

So many good suggestions on this thread!

We've recently started watching Modern Family which for some reason I thought I do hate but it's definitely become comfort tv for us ... definitely a grower but we love it now. Especially since a cute pooch joined the cast Grin

IDontLikePinaColadas · 18/02/2024 14:47

Another vote for Julie & Julia and Poirot.

Also, Midsomer Murders, Miss Marple (the Joan Hickson ones) and the Supersizers Go series with Giles Coren and Sue Perkins.

Oh and, of course, Ted Lasso

I didn't realise until my daughter put it on recently, but How I Met Your Mother is one of mine. The slap gets crack me up.

Darling Buds of May, the old one, the new one is awful.
Life in Pieces
DIY SOS
Bar Rescue

BeaRF75 · 18/02/2024 14:52

I have lots - Schitts Creek, Frasier, Friends, Big Bang, The Thick of It, Pride and Prejudice (BBC 1995 version).
Plus Shtisel, but the swines at Netflix have taken it off!

Not so many films - definitely Paddington 1 and 2, maybe Chocolat, also old musicals like High Society and Guys and Dolls.

AutumnCrow · 18/02/2024 14:53

Food Network - especially Ina 'budder' Garten and Ree Drummond
NCIS - I want this as my specialist subject in Mastermind

If I’ve overdosed on the above then
Downton or Gosford Park.

Downton Abbey

If so you’d like Gosford Park

BarbaraVineFan · 18/02/2024 15:05

Poirot or Miss Marple for me! None of these gritty dramas- the slower paced the better

Schitts creek, gilmore girls, kath and kim and schnitzel (. Not sure how to spell that, its a jewish programme in Netflix)

Farmersweeklyreader · 18/02/2024 15:11

All creatures great & small (the old one, although I also enjoyed the new version)
The darling buds of may
Still game (Scottish comedy)
Last of the summer wine
Keeping up appearances
Any of the Catherine Cookson dramas

I hardly ever watch any “new” tv shows. I hate the violence & sex that seem to be a must now. I would like to go back to a simpler life :-) (I’m early 40’s!)
90’s & noughties tv was the best

ZiggyZowie · 18/02/2024 15:13

Films. Baby Boom and Jack and Sarah

WildAndFree123 · 18/02/2024 15:14

Frasier, David Suchet’s Poirot, Joan Hickson’s Miss Marple.

New2024 · 18/02/2024 15:14

ITV3 afternoon dramas sometimes work for me on a day off. Recently they re ran Downton Abbey and I also discovered how entertaining and mostly preposterous Midsummer Murders can be. A misfire while my late mum was ill that definitely didn’t cheer me up was Wycliffe, bit too grim.

Things of the past I love include Joan Higson Marple, Hustle esp with Adrian Lester, Seinfeld, The Good Life, Yes Minister and Prime Minister.

Films: North by Northwest, Muppet Christmas Carol
