Fed up with Friends: Recommend what's Your Go-To Guaranteed Easy Watching?

[HarlequinsPants]

If I've just sat down late and want a bit of easy watching that I know I will enjoy, I watch an episode of Friends. It's quicker & less painful than searching for something new and trying to work out if I'd like it and they are fairly short. I've seen them all so often, it's like checking in with an old friend.

Anyway I'm getting a bit bored with them now. Has anyone got any other suggestions for a bit of light relief/easy watching to unwind before bed?

What are your go to choices? I'm relaxed about subjects- doesn't have to be comedy but obviously nothing horror/terror etc. Just cosy easy relaxed and good.

Schitts Creek
Colin from Accounts
Gilmore Girls

Seinfeld is great too- v like friends

Frasier, Schitt’s Creek, Malcolm In The Middle (on Disney+).

Yes to Seinfeld too.

Loved the first 2 or 3 seasons of Community then it went off the boil for me, but I'll happily rewatch the early ones over and over.

On Netflix -
Grace and Frankie

The American Office
Gavin & Stacey
Motherland

The Big Bang Theory
Modern Family
Young Sheldon
The detectorists

Gavin and Stacey
Ted Lasso

Death in Paradise. Light-hearted detective series set in the Caribbean. Glorious locations, formulaic plots, undemanding but amusing.

Motherland on Netflix
Gavin and Stacey on BBC3
Ghosts on BBC3

Derry Girls
Fisk
Schitts Creek
Seinfeld is my favourite, but it's 100x more cynical than Friends

Brooklyn 99
Grey’s Anatomy (though that can be sad)
Suits

Brooklyn 99 or still game if you're Scottish ☺️

Modern family it Big Bang theory.

My go to always used to be friends too but it’s now the above.

I love a good free boxsetwatch. Obviously mine is The Office US . Dwight my fav,he makes it awesome.
like others have said big bang and young sheldon. Poldark ! Yummy Aidan Turner Bridgerton.
when I’m having a shit day I put on the office my fav episode is when headlice are discovered in the office Dwight steals the show then bloody funny

Some already mentioned plus:
Two Doors Down
Him and Her
Peep Show

How I met your mother

Grace and Frankie is a good shout.

The Simpsons aswell but the early series up until season 12.

Hot in Cleveland
Younger
The Nanny (can't get enough of this one)

If you don't mind episodes that are 44 minutes long than look at Jane the Virgin

Midsomer Murders.
So many violent deaths but it is so light hearted and almost a comedy at times.
Have watched them all multiple times and have them on DVD.
Doing it slightly different this time around, started at the latest episode and working my way back to the beginning, watched Ep47 tonight. 🙂

Schitts Creek or Big Bang Theory for short episodes. I found I had to watch a few episodes to properly get into the characters but loved them after that. I’d dipped into BBT in the past when others were watching and didn’t get it because I hadn’t watched from the start but I loved it.

Other easy watches are Gilmore Girls and Virgin River.

"Taskmaster" makes me consistently laugh aloud more than anything else I've ever seen.

Community is criminally underrated. I've probably rewatched it all about 50 times.
