Simple question - is there a TV show you enjoy watching for psychological comfort? If yes, what is this show and why it comforts you?
This was my late husbands favorite show, one of his proudest moments was when he ran into Glen Howerton on the street and got a picture with him and his wife (who played dennis' ex in the d.e.n.n.i.s. episode).Always Sunny.
It's comforting just how ridiculous the gang is.
All work and no play makes Homer something, something.Old Simpsons. Always calming when a classic episode opens in the morning with the crows and the tune setting things up. Kinda liked the crunchier audio and blurrier visuals of the 90s. Always brings a smile.
Here comes Lee Marvin. Thank God! He's always drunk and violent.All work and no play makes Homer something, something.
It's a nice show. I guess I'm a minority that must've had their expectations set too high in spite of the unusual premise (cartoon about anthropomorphic animals trying to make it in Hollywood?), due to all the positive reviews I saw about this show before I started to watch, I ended up mildly disappointed. I absolutely loved the Time's Arrow episode though, it was executed absolutely beautifully. I stopped watching after that because I didn't want it to become the "jump the shark" moment for me. Maybe I am wrong and missed the best part though...Bojack Horseman
Same here, I rewatched it multiple times and it was my long time favourite. But as of now I don't feel like rewatching it again, it is a bit too violent for my current mental state... Nevertheless, a very compelling and masterfully executed story.It's been Breaking Bad for a long time. I've watched it like 7 times already.
That's what reality TV was invented for90 Day Fiancé
Married at First Sight
I Love a Mama's Boy
Love is Blind
Breaking Amish / Return to Amish
Just pure, unadulterated garbage, because it's hilarious and makes me feel better.
Gee, this is a perfect suggestion! The comfiest show ever!Old Simpsons. Always calming when a classic episode opens in the morning with the crows and the tune setting things up. Kinda liked the crunchier audio and blurrier visuals of the 90s. Always brings a smile.
Curb. Wow. I lost my shit the first time I seen this.Off the top of my head, Star Trek, The Simpsons, Seinfeld, The Office, Schitt's Creek, How I Met Your Mother, The Mindy Project, That 70s Show and Curb Your Enthusiasm have done a great job at providing some comfort and/or laughs in the midst of this existential hell over the years. For more serious stuff, I also find an odd, eerie comfort in watching The Twilight Zone (original). The Teen Mom series has admittedly been a guilty pleasure of mine since it first went on the air as well.
I've been watching The Office lately, and Brooklyn 99 and Breaking Bad are up next on my watch list. I'm in constant agony so I'll take all the distractions and comfort shows I can get until I can finally get my peace.
Big hugs to you, @Nessie.
I watched some scenes from this show on YouTube and then one of the episodes (It was on a plane? I forget the name though). It seems like a lot of fun, if I have more time I may watch more.Monk... Yes, I think it must be Monk.
I've heard they basically fill nearly their entire airtime with one cartoon series lately and it's not even good or charming. Is that not true?Am I the only adult here still watching Cartoon Network?
I can relate, not lately but when I was a kid I was super into F1. Couldn't wait for the first race of the season, so exciting!F1 is the only thing I get so hyped about to watch.
What are your comfort movies then?I have a few comfort movies, not so much a comfort tv show.
I used to watch it too,for a few months now i'm watching another program called First Date,it's just to pass the time when i feel really desperate.They helped me in not think too muchMarried at First Sight
My favourite movies are North By Northwest, Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, Ghostbusters, The Bodyguard, The Fugitive, Groundhog Day, Executive Decision and The Mummy.What are your comfort movies then?
Movies are also cool, but I feel like TV shows are better for the comfy effect because of the serialized format - they can be watched over a prolonger period of time and become that one good comfy tradition you keep returning to. Plus TV shows are usually made with intention to create settings and characters the viewer will get attached to, to get them to return for a new season every time, so there's also the added comfiness factor.
Wow, I love your taste! Arbitrary "they don't make movies like this anymore, things were only good when I was a kid and now everything sucks!" goes hereMy favourite movies are North By Northwest, Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, Ghostbusters, The Bodyguard, The Fugitive, Groundhog Day, Executive Decision and The Mummy.
