Psych. A cliche “murder mystery of the week” show has no business being as wholesome, kind, friendly, and upbeat as Psych. I realized a few years ago when I was going through some personal issues and had started rewatching Psych that it was helping me deal with the stress, and it wasn’t the first time I’ve done that with the show.
Maybe a year ago I went to Psych’s first convention near Chicago. It was both surprising and reassuring to hear other fans go up to ask the actors questions and they all shared similar stories to me. People have used to show to help them briefly escape from challenging situations from dealing with the death of loved ones all the way to someone using it as background TV while trying to study in medical school.
One of the few things I miss from Reddit is the active Psych subreddit over there.
Also, the 80’s references are fantastic.
There are too many but I name one: Fawlty Towers
- Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End
- Avatar the Last Airbender
- Firefly
The Simpsons and yes even the new seasons. I’m a true fan.
These shows always make me feel good when I watch them.
- Bob’s Burgers
- Mash

Oh I forgot Malcom in the Middle. +1 to that.
For a recent anime, Delicious in Dungeon is excellent!
Bob’s Burgers hands down. It’s just constantly showcases the wholesomeness I want to see in the world.
It shows a constantly imperfect world, and family, friends, and community standing together to survive it.
I could write a thesis, but I’m crying thinking about that Christmas episode now, you know the one.
“You love your family.”
I’ll forever be obsessed with Family Guy
