What's your go-to comfort tv?

Pawn Stars

Frasier

Curb your enthusiasm

I was trying to get crazy like a fox on box set dvd but couldn’t find it anywhere. I recorded it on sky. It’s brilliant

Star Trek TNG.

The Grinder - Rob Lowe and Fred Savage. It just sits there in my downloaded stuff, waiting to be watched.

Also, ep 1 of Justified if I have an hour to kill.

US office. Loved the UK version when it was out but only came across US version during covid. Absolutely love it. If I'm home alone I'll rewatch it. I've gone through the entire 9 series a few times now. Sometimes I just listen to it if I'm having a snooze on the couch and I know exactly what is happening, which is worrying!

Others I've done this with in the past are Alan Partridge, the IT crowd. All great comedies

watching a bit of this lately on ITV

paradise lost

Always Sunny in Philadelphia has very much been this for me over the years.

Trailer Park Boys also

And recently, binged all Hardy Bucks episodes while dealing with Covid. Have lived outside of Ireland the last few years and was surprised at how nostalgic I found it.

Someone said pointless was there favourite show but contestants are only playing for a coupleof hundred quid when the hosts are on 250k a year so they are smiling all the way to the bank the same as tubs & look how that turned out. Its a rubbish show anyhow.

Early seasons of Endeavour, beautiful music, melancholy Morse, some great supporting actors and a good whodunit.

It ran out of steam in later series but 1-5 or so are really good.

What a strange post.since when was there any correlation between prize money and a hosts salary

Anyway another fan of house of games also 24hrs in police custody

I used to love the American soap operas, the absurb ludracris storylines, I wish more over here aired American soaps, Sunset Beach needs repeating, I try to catch Days of our Lives if I can now on Peacock

I always recommend "The Detectorists" to anybody who is stuck at home sick and miserable. It's just lovely telly.

I can watch Classic* "QI" endlessly. Sometimes I know what's coming so I start laughing before something funny happens. This is what I turn to when I just need to ignore real life for a while.

"Would I Lie to You" is silly and trivial and juvenile, as is "Taskmaster." Both are very entertaining and stand up to repeated viewing when you don't want to engage your brain.

*Classic QI: Episodes from the Fry era. Loved Sandi as a contestant but the flavour of the show changed when she moved in permanently.

Youtube.

Mostly fishing based channels, or lads fixing machines.

Bit left field but Forged in Fire is always a good watch.
