What's your go-to comfort tv?

Has to be Gavin and Stacey. I love Gavin's ma.

Mustie1 is a great channel.

Any channel recommendations for the second one?

Dominic Chinea, the metal work guy from The Repair Shop has a good YouTube channel where he restores old vehicles.

Sunset Beach was hilarious, I think TV3 used to show it years ago. It had an evil twin and one of the characters was possessed or something...good, brainless TV for college days.

Mustie1

Diagnosis Murder and Murder She Wrote.

Just great tv.

NCIS episodes season 1-10 are all mostly good. Nice harmless stuff. It really went downhill for me after Ziva left it.

White collar. I coul binge watch that series forever

For really easy going, relaxed, don't have to think telly two programmes spring to mind. One is the Repair Shop and two Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing.

He's from Northern Ireland

Bangers & Cash .... the auctioneers selling classic cars. Goof off on it regularly

Jim Henson's The Storyteller, and The Storyteller: Greek Myths. The latter show got me into Greek mythology and legends as a kid. And some episodes hit me really, really hard as a kid.

Cheers. It's one of those shows that's a time capsule, but a good one. Bars were so different then, and I still get nostalgic if I walk into a pub and see the old timey adverts on the walls. You'd be let walk into them as a child, and nobody blinked an eye. Different times.

Young Ones. Saw this as a kid, and can remember most of it word for word. Still, putting on an episode can cheer me up. (And makes me appreciate Rik Mayall (RIP). Behind the scenes, he made sure folks got equal pay, and didn't overwork the cast or crew.)

Batman the Animated Series, and Superman The animated Series, and Justice League (Unlimited). These shows came out of nowhere and just changed the game.

A recent addition, and one I'm completely late to the party on, is The Dragon Prince, from the folks behind Avatar: The Last Airbender. My brother introduced me to the show, and It's genuinely engrossed me. I watched episodes intermittently, then went back and bingewatched the first 3 seasons.

Anytime I want to distress in front of the TV there is nothing better than a good episode if Star Trek. I have seen them all a thousand times anyway so they are all an easy watch for me now. Still never gets old do especially TNG. It's a view of a better time where there is no poor, no need for money, no dangerous diseases, no greed and all humans and Aliens work together for the betterment of each other.
