The Venture Brothers is hilarious.

morphballganon,

The first 4 seasons are good.

Gilmore Girls is a classic feel good show that I’m surprised hasn’t been mentioned. Its pretty campy occasionally, but sometimes that’s what you need.

Also Ed.

Came to add this, glad to see it’s here, just finished the series, now I’m trying to find the 2nd and 3rd movie.

Parks and Recreation!

marlowe221,

Came here to say this. Great show!

isu712,

This is a great suggestion! A show with a great heart. Start with season 2 though. Season 1 tried to be like The Office and that turned a lot of people off. Parks and Rec finds its own voice in season 2.

Anything created by Michael Schur really, along with Parks and Rec he also did Brooklyn Nine Nine and The Good Place, both of which are funny and full of heartwarming moments compared to a lot of other shows these days.

He did The Office too but I think he hadn’t quite hit his stride when he did that show, it has its moments but to me The Office leaned way too heavily on secondhand cringe humor.

perviouslyiner, (edited ) in whats a song you heard for the first time recently that gave you a powerful reaction?

Can’t believe it took so long to actually listen to Staight outta Compton, but that has some interesting observations on race and law enforcement in America.

Friendship with always one friend in the “leader” role.

Will he stay with me until my death ? But still friendships are essential.

Yeah, Am okay. A little bit confused about how to choose & maintain friendship.

I’m quite enjoying it too but I think it borders on horror with the themes of where the modern world will end up.

Burninator05, in Lighthearted, upbeat shows for adults?

Try Better Off Ted. It only ran for a season and a half but it was funny.

QuantumSparkles,

Extremely underrated

RizzRustbolt,

Using these bagels for evil would be like beating a unicorn to death with a bag of rainbows.

American Dad, starting at season 2, is complete gold.

The first season is rough, since the political comedy elements aren’t quite finetuned, which makes the characters a bit annoying, and Roger doesn’t have wacky disguises yet. Season 2 onwards the show has just right right wavelength of bizarre non-sequitur humor that always makes me smile. The jokes can be dark and/or adult, or just require context to understand but I think they are great.

Going for the more obscure: Bajillion Dollar Properties. Originally made for a dead streaming service, now exists on PlutoTV for free (and can be purchased through Apple et al). It’s a satire of real estate reality shows with phenomenal guest stars throughout. Main cast includes a few folks before they got their bigger roles (like Tawny Newsome, Drew Tarver, and Eugene Cordero) but also includes the GOAT, Paul F. Tompkins.

Very related, I would also suggest the Comedy Bang! Bang! TV show that ran for 5 seasons on IFC. It’s a treasure trove of comedic goodness, lots of great guests, and who doesn’t love Reggie Watts, Kid Cudi, then Weird Al as the band leaders??

If we're talking Paul F. Tompkins we should also recommend the original run of Mr. Show (starring Bob Odenkirk and David Cross). A hilarious and extremely influential sketch comedy show.

And if we mention David Cross we should also recommend the original seasons of Arrested Development. One of the most well written sitcoms ever.

metaphortune,

Believe me, I’m always down to talk about Paul F. Tompkins! I thoroughly agree with both recommendations, with a note that some bits don’t hold up super well. But for the most part they’re both still golden!

Etterra, in What's the significance of calling it "Israel-Hamas War" vs "Israel-Gaza War"?

Seems to be like a more accurate description would be the Israeli perpetrated Gazan genocide. Calling it a war is like taking a flamethrower to your backyard because you stepped on a nettle and then calling it lawn care
