What are your go-to, feel good tv shows?

I like watching something light and happy right before hitting the hay. Lately, my favorite shows are "Corner Gas," "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," and "Raising Hope."
What are yours?

especially in the later seasons, but M*A*S*H is always my go-to. Watching at night on MeTV is practically a ritual at this point.

from 60s to 90s.
Use to just watch news and sports. No more news, I’ve blocked those out, to depressing.

Food Channel, Baseball and old shows. I'll even watch Hallmark, it's like Xanax, numbing and you don't have to think. And everyone ends up happy.

Just what you need in a Trump world.

So Raising Hope is on my list, as well as Sprung, and My Name is Earl. Garcia has a great touch with characters and a sense of humor that I've found very engaging.

I often turn to Brooklyn Nine Nine for pure escape.
Also, there are all those hilarious Britcoms.
We are currently watching "Rising Damp"
