I need something "feel good" or uplifting to watch.

[Abouteffingtime]

My mood has dropped spectacularly, my cup is empty. I am tearful, irritable. I would love to watch something that is light, funny, uplifting, anything really. Say I am drawn to misery and doom which doesnt help I dont think.

Please suggest something.

Three men and a little lady. Every time

Oh Tom Selleck of the 80s/90s

I love working girl and we used to sing the theme tune in our choir. 9-5 is an older film with a similar theme with Dolly Parton and Jane Fonda. It's brilliant.

'The Dish' with Sam Neill and Patrick Warburton is a lovely gentle comedy drama about the Australian team who helped bring television pictures back from the Apollo 11 Moon landing via the 'dish' (the receiving antenna / radiotelescope at Parkes).

For some reason it's been added to the Internet Archive, not sure it's actually meant to be there https://archive.org/details/TheDish2000

Also it's got a great soundtrack from the 1960s.

Another vote for Lucifer. The first couple of episodes aren't great but then it gets into its stride and it's a blast for 7 seasons!

Coming to America!

Great thread.
Came to suggest The Durrells, but pipped to the post already.
Is Larkrise To Candleford still on iPlayer, I wonder? That's similarly soothing.

Fisk. Also healing.

Agree with the Other Bennet sister and Ted lasso

Ted Lasso on Apple TV Plus.

Ted Lasso
Detectorists
Small Profits

Smoggie Queens on iPlayer

I also rate Fisk,
the Durrells
parks and recreation

Death Valley
Bake Off (not the professional ones though)
Small Prophets

Ghosts! BBC

Sweet Magnolias on Netflix. I SO want to
live in Serenity. 😆

The Good Place
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Eurovision The story of Fire Saga. It's cheesy but I find it really uplifting. Jaja ding Dong 🎵🎵

Just watched the Blues Brothers- It’s on iplayer.
I forgot how whacky it is- little giggles all the way through and the songs give a happy boost.

The Big Year and Girl Most Likely

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day

Agree with so many of these . Top 4 -

Small Prophets
Detectorists
All Creatures Great and Small
Quite cheesy at times - Gilmore Girls .

Third (and last) of a trio of films called The Booze Cruise, sun titled The Scattering.
The character of Maurice
(brilliantly played by Brian Murphy RIP aka husband George in Man About The House ) is so funny when he gets the opportunity to relax and laugh.

A film currently on Netflix: “Radio”

Another vote for Schitt's Creek.
Ted Lasso
The Good Place

Thank you all so much. I started with The Other Bennet sister last night, and will work my way through I have Netflux and Prime, so that rules some out

Could very much do with sone "quiet time" but DC dont want to go to their dads, again.
