Tired from my labours, but finally sitting down to relax before bed. I’m rewatching Seinfeld, have needed a comfort show lately. Something I’ve watched before but enjoy watching again, requires not much concentration and is from a simpler time.
Tell me your comfort show (if you have one).
Buffy. Girl kicks ass.
Have you been paying attention is good for a laugh when you need one from the Ten network.
Working Dog are great. Have finally started watching Utopia and really enjoying it so far.
I watch lord of the rings/tolkein podcasts and videos
and I listen to old BBC radio comedies , such as the Goon Show or Hancock's Half Hour
I would say scrubs
Not something you’d expect, but American Dad. It’s mindless enough to semi-engage without getting too bored and while edgy it doesn’t seem to be enough to be genuinely upsetting.
And the lack of continuity/wacky hijinks resolving back to the status quo means it doesn’t matter about what order or whether the uploader has chopped it up into many out of context chunks.
I wouldn’t say I was a fan. In fact it’s easier to chuck on for background because I don’t care about following the show. But it’s something that’s kind of reliable to just watch when anxious or tired or flossing or gaming without worrying about closely following the plot or missing anything. It’s Comfortably Dumb.
Family Guy tries too hard though. Kinda lame. The offensive jokes aren’t even offensive to me, they’re just lazy.
