Futurama.
I put it on to fall asleep. I’m out before the episode ends. A downside is that I’ve seen the start of so many episodes, but rarely the end.
lol I’m the same for the 90s Berserk series, it’s given me a strange perspective on it
The sopranos. Easily one of the best shows ever made. I catch new things every time I watch. David Chase is genius.
MASH. Just comforting background noise from my childhood really.
OG Simpsons. Seasons 3 to tenish. Some of the best writing ever.
Futurama, preferring the older seasons, but the later ones are still good.
I’ve recently started watching Hill Street Blues. Most of which is available on you tube if anyone’s interested. Really been enjoying it.
Lemmy is really a different type of audience.
This question each and every time had The West Wing as top rated answer on the other platform consistently, but here even Taskmaster gets 8 votes.
The West Wing was required medicine to get through 45. For 47, I’m hearing good things about 86.
Community never ceases to cheer me up
Firefly
Yeah I cry a lot, what of it?
Futurama and avatar are endlessly rewatchable imo
-
90’s Trek is my go too comfort food. Especially TNG and Voyager. Less so Enterprise. And I never got into DS9 at all (fight me). When I’m looking for a random episode to watch in the background, it’s usually one of those.
-
Comedy-wise, Community, Night Court (the original), The IT Crowd, The Office, Futurama, all fill the same role as Star Trek above.
-
Less often, but still on a pretty regular rotation, 80’s shows like Quantum Leap, Simon & Simon, MacGuyver, Knight Rider. Just dumb shows where they have a one hour adventure and then have a new one the next week; where you don’t have to stress about watching every damn episode because the entire season is one big plotline.
In Trek, there’s ToS and TNG. After that, meh. They became soap operas, full on. ToS was Greek Morality Plays, and TNG followed that, though had it’s issues too.
Great closing bullet point.

SG1, ALL 3 series. some law and order and house. 2000s the golden era of shows. and also TREK shows, not the crappy nutrek(too much kurtzman, jj abrams meddling). ISAIP (S1-12 only), 13+ seasons were just terrible and ionly fan service with cringey skits. the animated nutrek is much better than the 3 live series.
SPN 1-5, by kripke, 6+ and they made to fanfiction and made it homoerotic because the fans are fantasizing about the characthers.
IASIP… The final episode of season 16 is worth a watch.
13+ clips, and other people defending it just left a bad taste, plus the creators, are all sketchy people now.
- King of the Hill
- Haunting of the Hill House
- Haunting of Bly Manor
- Batman (Animated Series)
- IT Crowd
mash
Usually, it’s Parks and Rec, The Office, Scrubs, and IASIP. But I have gotten sick of those after watching most of them a dozen plus times, so now it’s Community, Zoeys Playlist, and Cougar Town until I get sick of them too
Have you seen 30 Rock? And Schitts Creek? Would fit in your lists.
I never liked 30 Rock most of the cast I can’t stand. But as a Canadian Shitts Creek is required watching, just not one I found myself wanting to rewatch (the ending with Ted and Alexis really pissed me off)
Oh didn’t expect you to not line 30 Rock after the rest of your list but there ya go. I’m doing a Schitts Creek rewatch now, don’t remember why the Ted/Alexis ending would be annoying but looking forward to remembering 😂
- Stargate SG1 and Atlantis
- Supernatural
- Person of Interest
- The mentalist
- Eureka
- Psych
- House
- Bones
I usually have one of these on in the background whenever I’m coding. I can’t code in silence and if I have music I end up singing and can’t concentrate.
The Wire and Luther. Can you tell I love Idris Elba?
Adventure time, courage the cowardly dog
