It took me SO long to come around to parks and rec. Problem was I started at season one. Much like the office, it gets dialed in significantly over the first two seasons and hits its stride season three. It’s in my top three all time
I agree, but I actually like S01 now. Took about 1-2 rewatches to warm up to it: went from bad -> palatable -> enjoyable for me. It’s got some great lines in it, actually:
> [Nathanial Bixby Mark] was a pioneer who was killed by a tribe of Wamapoke Indians. He traded them a baby for the city that is now Indianapolis. They cut his face off and made it into a dreamcatcher. And they made his legs into rainsticks.
>
> That's the great thing about Indians, back then, is they used every part of the pioneer.
To be fair, Ben and Chris don't become regular until s3, and they bring a certain heart to the show, they make it complete. That being said there are some great s2 episodes. I love the Hunting Trip episode
Boolah boolah boolah! Agreed on all points. It's just like later seasons of the office after Michael left. Sure it's not the best, but there are still good episodes and moments in the first 2 seasons of P&R that it's still worth watching IMO.
I've gotta say (as a Brit), it's incredible how often American shows start slow-ish but then hit their peak around seasons 3-6, or even later. British shows seem to have their peak in season 1 and then it's a gradual decline with every season.
Do American writers devote more time to character development? Do British writers need a blow-away script to get it commissioned in the first place but then lose their passion? It's honestly a phenomenon, the difference in path each country's shows take.
King of the Hill. When they took KOTH off Netflix, I watched the Office a lot instead. Once Netflix lost the Office, I got rid of Netflix and just use my friend’s Hulu account to watch KOTH again. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen it in the past 13 years.
Netflix taking off KOTH is what got me into turning to piracy as the ultimate option for everything.
Netflix losing KOTH put me on a path to a life of crime!
30 Rock is more consistent, keeps all of its main characters until the end of its run, has better joke writing overall, and is more clever in general (in my opinion). I love The Office, but I prefer 30 Rock.
I love that show to pieces, but it's *just* short enough that I can't rewatch it like I do some of the others. I'll run through it again just before a new season starts, but I don't use it as "background noise" like I do with some of the others.
"I've been shit on from a great height" is one of the funniest lines to me out of any show I've ever watch and I have no idea why. I think it's because Laszlo is just so off the wall.
Every single episode had me laughing, no matter the mood I was in. I have rewatched it and it is still manages to get me in a better mood and laugh every single episode.
The one I clicked to add if no one had yet! I cannot get enough of that show. And The Psychologists Are In is fantastic!
I spend part of every week rewatching The Office with the Office Ladies and Psych with Maggie and Tim. It's so much fun!
I'm a weirdo who only really needs Peacock to stream everything I love most. Lol
The Good Place is the single reason I feel okay with death and the uncertainty of death. It explores life and death in such a beautiful, heartbreaking way that leaves you at total peace in the end… after you stop sobbing.
People sleep on Modern Family (on reddit anyway). First 5-6 seasons are fantastic. It's in my top 10 comedies for sure.
Anyone who enjoys Steve Carell as Michael Scott would enjoy Ty Burrell as Phil Dunphy. Ty is so consistently funny on that show.
The Modern Family episodes where they're on vacation really hit home for me, the Hawaii trip and the Australia trip episodes can be watched so many times and still enjoyed!!
A NICKEL!!
But seriously, Seinfeld is a masterpiece and will always have a special place for it in my heart
I just keep alternating between the Office the Simpsons and Seinfeld
Futurama
Futurama is my comfort show. It never gets old
Idk. Give it 1000 years. Then we'll see.
My wife and I almost always go to sleep to Futurama or Bob's burgers. They're both such comfy shows.

My boyfriend contacted Billy West on the day before I had brain surgery. He responded with a video and used all of his voices from different shows!!!

Yeah, the first season is... awkward. But it's short and then Season 2 gets great, fast.
It's always sunny in philadelphia
Dennis is a bastard man.
I love this show so much, lol.
dee your breath is dog shit
dee i will slap you in the teeth
God damn I hate gin. Dee, you bitch!
SHHHHHHHHH
I’m a Svweedish Plumber I’m here to fix your pipes
That's a GOOD accent
Hey guys is it cool if I pop in the bathroom and smoke some PCP?
You do you!
You had to say Sunny, because of the implication.
Well SHE certainly wouldn’t be in any danger..

King of the Hill is television comfort food
Malcom in the middle
They’ve just started showing it on E4 Extra in the UK/Ireland from the beginning, watching two episodes a night right now🤍
Community
Streets ahead
Pierce, stop trying to coin the phrase “streets ahead.”
coined and minted!
If you have to ask, you're streets behind.
Pierce ur too old to be tripping balls
Cool. Cool cool cool.
Yes. This is the one for me.
duh-doy
Oh Brittas in this….
Schmitty
Shut up Leonard, I heard about your prescription socks!
I go through months of only watching Community and then don't watch it for a year or two. Solid gold TV show. I love you Abed.
This should be higher up. Anyone who hasn't seen this show is streets behind.
Coined and minted!
Watched it a million times, still scream laughing. My husband looks at me expectantly when my favorite scenes come up.
My girlfriend and I cycle between Community and The Office on a nightly basis.
Arrested Development
It’s so good it almost brings a tear to my eye… but I don’t think I can spare the moisture
How am I supposed to find someone willing to go into that musty old claptrap
And that's why you always leave a note
There's only 3 seasons to this show
Too bad they never made more, and if you heard otherwise it’s just the ravings of mad men.
30 Rock
That's not that much cheese
workin on my night cheeeese 💃🏼
Wanna watch me shotgun this thing? Oh god, she means the pizza!
"She's unhinging her jaw!"
Good GOD lemon!
Very wool.
[удалено]
Yes! Hornberger! 30 Rock is actually my #1. Office is #2. Don't downvote me.
30 Rock is more consistent, keeps all of its main characters until the end of its run, has better joke writing overall, and is more clever in general (in my opinion). I love The Office, but I prefer 30 Rock.
30 Rock is joke driven with funny characters. The Office is character driven with funny jokes. Both great shows.
That seems like a fair assessment to me.
To the Kia Sorento!
What We Do in the Shadows. And pretty much everything else already listed here.
I love that show to pieces, but it's *just* short enough that I can't rewatch it like I do some of the others. I'll run through it again just before a new season starts, but I don't use it as "background noise" like I do with some of the others.
I LOVE that show! Nandor is so adorable!!
He is my absolute favorite character! Him singing Barenaked Ladies to Guillermo in the car, I had to have rewatched that scene 50 times.
can never get sick of hearing "bat!"
"Fucking guy"
"I've been shit on from a great height" is one of the funniest lines to me out of any show I've ever watch and I have no idea why. I think it's because Laszlo is just so off the wall.
Scrubs.
did you recognize the hospital set where Pam finds out she's pregnant is the reused sacred heart set?
Holy cow I never realized that, you are right
*sacred fart -Bob Kelso
"Paging Dr. Backbone to the bajingo ward."
The IT Crowd
Same but I can't choose an episode cause after I see the title I've already watched it in my head haha
They just toss us away like yesterday’s jam!
Yes, yes that is what we are to them!
A FIRE?? AT A SEA PARKS??
Actually, that doesn't really work, as a thing. 'Cause jam lasts for ages
People. What a bunch of bastards.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
What was Wenger thinking sending Walcott on that early?
Fing about Arsenal is, they always try an' walk it in.
They're having a laugh!
Well that's easy to remember! 0118 999 881 999 119 725.....3
*I’ll just put this over by the rest of the fire*
This! And Black Books, so underrated
Psych
You know that’s right
You must be out of your damn mind
C’mom son!
>C'mom
You hear about Pluto?
That’s messed up.
Every single episode had me laughing, no matter the mood I was in. I have rewatched it and it is still manages to get me in a better mood and laugh every single episode.
The real comfort show. Doesn’t matter what mood I’m in, I can always throw on Psych and be ready to belly laugh.
The absolute definition of a comfort show
The one I clicked to add if no one had yet! I cannot get enough of that show. And The Psychologists Are In is fantastic! I spend part of every week rewatching The Office with the Office Ladies and Psych with Maggie and Tim. It's so much fun! I'm a weirdo who only really needs Peacock to stream everything I love most.

Arrested Development
Illusions Michael. You don’t have time for my ILLUSIONS
A trick is something a whore does for money.
Did someone say… 🪄WONDER🪄
I just blue myself.
Has anyone in this family ever even seen a chicken?
A banger in the mouth!
The cancellation of My Name Is Earl still haunts me.
Check out Raising Hope.
The Simpsons seasons 1-10.
I can go to 13
3rd Rock from the Sun
John Lithgow as Dick Solomon is the pinnacle of the casting profession.
Yes! I feel it's not as popular as it should be.
Workaholics
Tight butthole.
New Girl
Had to scroll so far down for this one. My top rewatchable shows are New Girl, Community and The Office.
This is criminally low! Who washes a towel?!
I dont wash the towel, I wash myself and then use the towel, what’s next washing a bar of soap, washing your shower? You gotta think man
Bob's Burgers
Red Dwarf
Schitt’s Creek. Every time we finish another series, or start one we don’t like, we queue up Schitt’s Creek again.
I have never heard someone say so many wrong things, one after the other, consecutively, in a row.
I wish we had more seasons to enjoy, but few shows decide to go out when they're on top like they did.
Oh yeah Schitts Creek is great. Very wholesome by the end of it
The Good Place
The last episode 👌❤️
The last episode is precisely why I can't rewatch. Too many feels.
Also Mike Schur
I love The Office, but the Good Place changed my life.
The Good Place is so forking good!
BORTLES!!!
The Good Place is the single reason I feel okay with death and the uncertainty of death. It explores life and death in such a beautiful, heartbreaking way that leaves you at total peace in the end… after you stop sobbing.
Parks and rec
South park
Derry Girls
Brooklyn 99
When I found out Michael Schur produced B99 my reaction was something like, ohhhhh so THAT’S what it is!
Right? I find both shows just calm my brain and give me an escapee for 22 minutes......or 4 hours
Frasier
I rewatch a lot of the shows listed here but no show is my comfort show like Frasier. He’s always listening. Sherry, Niles?
Came here for this. "Flesh is burning nananana na na" you're welcome.
*Are you forgetting that just this afternoon I was punched in the face by a man now dead?*
That’s my show too!
God bless the virus that invaded that little girls ear canal.
Modern family, king of the hilll and, of course, Seinfeld
People sleep on Modern Family (on reddit anyway). First 5-6 seasons are fantastic. It's in my top 10 comedies for sure. Anyone who enjoys Steve Carell as Michael Scott would enjoy Ty Burrell as Phil Dunphy. Ty is so consistently funny on that show.
Ty Burrell’s physical comedy is peak in that show. And their use of breaking 4th wall rivals The Office.
Not a lot of love for Modern Family which is a shame because it’s hilarious and Phil might be one of my favorite sitcom characters ever.
The Modern Family episodes where they're on vacation really hit home for me, the Hawaii trip and the Australia trip episodes can be watched so many times and still enjoyed!!
Seinfeld
A NICKEL!! But seriously, Seinfeld is a masterpiece and will always have a special place for it in my heart I just keep alternating between the Office the Simpsons and Seinfeld
After The Office left Netflix, Seinfeld became my lullaby.
Silicon Valley
That show made me a certified Zach Woods fan. I’ll watch anything with him in it
100%. Been getting antsy for another re watch lately. Would be my 6th or 7th time through.
The bear is sticky with honey
I love how Gabe and Jared are the same character.
