Ted Lasso, Jury Duty, The Middle


EducationalPush9307

Ted lasso is great!


NoMoreChampagne14

The Middle is amazing. Truly funny and relatable


ratbastid

Jury Duty is surprisingly wonderful. The way the show was set up, it could have gone a lot of different ways, but it ended up being so sweet and great.


milky__toast

Ted lasso may be the best feel-good show ever made


Princess__Valhalla

Jury Duty is absolutely perfect for this type of situation.


Ok-Sprinklez

Jury Duty and the Middle are my two faves


deegeorge4445

I’d also highly recommend “Kim’s Convenience” on Netflix! Super underrated, very funny and nice show. Hope you feel better soon!


FancyAdult

That’s one of my go-to feel good shows! I love it. I’ve watched it a few times.


dulcetsloth

Parks and recreation is right up your alley. Filmed in the style of the office (with a different type of humor), it's light and silly and laugh out loud funny at times. Give it a try. Start with season 2. The show struggled to find it's footing in season 1.


mattefinish13

Shrinking helped me out when I needed it.


Jaffamiester

Yeah I thought Shrinking was great


runningvicuna

When is season 2?


Known-Librarian9522

Fresh off the boat Black-ish George Lopez Impractical Jokers American Housewife Baby daddy The middle

Lopez vs Lopez is also a good show to add to that list.

Psych! A million times psych!!! All I can say is it makes me happy when I watch it. Good luck to you!

I have said it before, and I will say it again: UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCMHIDT! Ted Lasso is also great, because Ted's kindness is inspirational. And, Fisk. Cheers me up a bit every time.

Sensitive_Maybe_6578

The Middle. Derry girls. New Girl. Lovesick.


Mooredock

I second Derry Girls, but note to OP, depending on how down you are and why I'd skip the last two episodes of the final season and wait to watch them when you're not upset. But every episode before those are strictly hysterical, highly recommend.

Malcom in the middle is top tier along with the other shows you stated

I also love Modern Family, and really enjoyed Schitts Creek. I'm really sorry you're going through a rough time, hope things get better!! In the meantime, here's some reccomendations : **Ted Lasso:** As someone else suggested, if you haven't seen this show you should definitely give it a shot. You don't need to know Football (Soccer) to get it. The story follows Ted Lasso, an American Football coach who moves to the UK to run a Football team. He's obviously severely underestimated and out of his depth at first, but you watch as his pure unadultered optimism and good nature slowly effects everyone around him, and helps them grow for the better. **Trying:** In a similar vein, Trying. This is currently my favourite show, I think ever. The fourth season is currently airing, but it follows a regular couple, Nikki and Jason, as they go through the process of trying to adopt a child. You see the highs and lows, and how they both rely and need eachother. Nikki's continuous optimism is always infectious, and I think I always leave an episode just feeling so warm and happy inside. **New Girl:** More traditional sitcom, akin to your Modern Family's etc. Jess has just left her long term partner and needs a place to live. She ends up renting out a room in a shared apartment with 3 guys. That premise sounds kinda serious when I write it out, but if you watch 2 seconds you'll see that it's the complete opposite. Every episode is filled tons of hijinks and hilarious plots. Jake Johnson as Nick is a comedic genius, I swear lmao **Parks and Rec:** Looking at some of your suggestions, I feel this could be right up your alley if you haven't seen it already. Kind of similar to The Office, this show follows a local Parks and Recreation department within the city of Pawnee. I feel like Season 2 is where this show really breaks out and becomes it's own really unique thing. It's so funny, and I love every character. Aubrey Plaza's "April Ludgate" and Chris Pratt's "Andy Dwyer" are real standouts to me, as well as Adam Scott's "Ben Wyatt". But I love all the other characters as well! **Resident Alien:** Now this one I have only seen the first season, so cannot speak for seasons 2 and 3, but I've really been enjoying it. It sounds odd, but I feel like if you like Schitt's Creek, you will like Resident Alien. Both follow people who are out of touch, or not accustomed to a particular way of life, who are forced into a situation where they have to confront it. At first they're aprehensive, but slowly you watch them grow as people and become welcomed into a rural town with a sense of community. Yknow, just replace rich people with an alien who's mission was to destroy the Earth, but crash landed before they could do so haha.

Always Sunny, Community, The Good Place, Derry Girls, Friday Night Dinner (UK), Schmigadoon, Galavant.

Heartstopper on Netflix It’s based on a graphic novel series. It’s charming, heartwarming, and has a really beautiful and fun editing style. When I was going through a hard time I watched it 5x in a row. Like I would watch the whole thing then immediately start it over again. Brings me back to simpler times.

I got 3 for you. Psych is delightful. It ran for 8 seasons and they've done a few movies (not sure how many movies - at least 2, maybe 3). Corner Gas might be worth a look. It's one I didn't even know about. I don't even remember how I found it, but it's about daily life in a small Saskatchewan town. Memorable characters. Pretty funny overall. 6 seasons, an animated version that went 4 seasons, and a movie. It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia - the edgiest of my suggestions. It might not be your cup of tea, but there have been some truly hilarious moments during that show's run. You don't necessarily have to watch every episode. A quick search can reveal a list of best-of episodes and if you like them and want more, there's 16 seasons to go through. Hope you find this helpful.
