Had a conversation that made me wonder...what are your comfort shows? Ones you tend to rewatch?
I am strictly shows that tend to be lighter, comedies largely.
What do you like? Dramas? Murders? Comedies? Reality?

OG Twilight Zone, OG Star Trek and Columbo (original and revival). If I could ever get my hands on it via DVD (still have the VHS set), I'd add Patrick Mcgoohan's The Prisoner.

It's funny, but lately my comfort shows are actually rewatching shows I like in the form of reaction videos on YouTube so I can virtually re-watch with others who have never seen the shows. Shows like Doctor Who, Percy Jackson & The Olympians, Netflix Avatar The Last Airbender, Red Dwarf, etc.

That's fun!! Which Doctor Who eps do you show?
Oh and Red Dwarf?

Midsomer Murders - I've seen this entire series many times and it's always my "go to" when I'm ready to nod off since I won't miss anything ... already seen it.

Documentaries - weather, murder, or historical events. Some nature documentaries, but most upset me over what we've done to the environment.
At least the weather treats everyone like the passing phase of Nature that everything is.

Bob's Burgers. Some of the humor can get a little gross-out for some, but it's one of the sweetest shows on television.
Somebody Feed Phil. New season just started. Another very sweet show, and if you love food, it's a treat.
I'm sure there's more, but these are my two big ones.

I think I am the oddball here because I don't rewatch shows (rarely even watch TV to begin with). I don't in principle have anything against TV but I find that I just don't have it in me, mentally, to sit there and watch stuff. Sometimes I put on arts/crafts instruction while doing something else.

I don't really rewatch serial television either, but I do have a vibe I seek when I'm in the mood for comfort. I have less than 5 movies I've ever rewatched. I will read books more than once, though, with some spacing between reads.

Sci-fi fan here. I can’t say how many times I’ve rewatched each ST series. I also binge on criminal law shows. I’ll rewatch Law & Order (original) over and over. CSI, except CSI Miami 😖. NCIS, except NCIS LA. 🤷🏾♀️ Those are my go to shows.

I don't know for sure, I think I have to check the thread bc I'm sure I've missed stuff but you may be the first to mention Schitt's Creek which is usually a big one!

My younger daughter got me hooked on Gilmore Girls after her first baby was born 2 1/2 years ago. I play it as background noise whenever I'm busy and can't sit still. Fun fact: my kids and older grandtwins went to the same high school as Lauren Graham and had the same drama teacher.

Sports. All kinds. Football, baseball, cycling, hockey, golf, basketball (mostly college), Olympic sports... hell, I watch CURLING.
I do watch the occasional renovation show or documentary, but I rarely have the attention span for dramatic shows, and I find most comedies unfunny.

Typically, dramas and thrillers for me. I must say, even though I could recite, verbatim, most episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond, it's still the show I fall asleep to almost every night. It's like a drug. I can't stop. What is wrong with me? 😆
