I've got 2.

The Honeymooners 

Beavis and Butthead 

 

We took our grandson to NYC last summer and took him to a cool indoor amusement park/museum place. He loved the Disney style rides, as we all did, but I don’t think he appreciated the set of the Honeymooners as much as I did. 😂 He knew the sofa from the coffee shop in Friends, however.

If we're using the word "comfort", then...

The Office
Parks and Rec
Brooklyn Nine Nine

Abbot Elementary

All four have an easy-going, predictable, pleasant rhythm to them. All four have a host of lovable characters. 

Now if we're just talking "shows I re-watch often and never get sick of", then I'd list Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia. But...none of the three is bringing anyone any real "comfort" any time soon.

Comfort show for me is Northern Exposure.  I have all seasons on DVD and have seen them all 1,000 times.

Movie Whenever I see My Cousin Vinny on the schedule, I have to tune in, even if it is just for the last half hour or so .

That's my rule as well! If My Cousin Vinny is on that becomes what you're watching regardless of how far you're into the movie and how much time remains...

A 1950s/1960s Western on INSP or GRIT, like Wagon Train or High Chaparral.

Same. Great movie. So many funny lines in that movie.

M*A*S*H, but only up to when Frank Burns left.  After that, the show was unwatchable.  Even Klinger became annoying when he dropped women's clothing and started wearing a Toledo Mud Hens jersey and cap.

 

Some other comfort shows: Barney Miller, Cheers (the first several seasons), Taxi, The Honeymooners (the original 39), Combat!, Twelve O'clock High, Homicide, Life on the Street (why isn't this great show streaming anywhere???), Streets of San Francisco.

 

Seinfeld had a great run but the last few seasons were painful.  George becomes more annoying in each rerun...the only saving grace during those years was Jerry Stiller.

Seinfeld.

 

I like to say the punchlines before they do.

 

Did you know Jerry is 69 years old now? It's crazy how time flies. He will always be 30-something to me.

I also have all the seasons on DVD and have watched them all a bunch of times.  When I was in high school a bunch of us stoners would get together on the night it aired and have NEBS’s (Northern Exposure Bong Sessions) every week.  😆

I can sit and watch episodes of House Hunters for hours on end. 

Thank heavens I'm retired. After all my sports,I watch these.  The next moment it's THREE AM 😀

Andy Griffith. 

 

When life seemed simpler.

 

I realize problems of the times are all relative to the generation. It just seems the country, and world as a whole, are running off the rails right now.  

 

And.....the lunch special at the diner was like 95 cents.

Hopefully just the B&W episodes...the colorized ones i can't stomach, especially when Howard Sprague became a major character

Yep. Show started falling off when Barney Fife left.
