It helps to reinforce that I'm not as big a loser as I sometimes imagine.

She gets to the point!

I’ve seen all but this past season multiple times and still love it.

I watch it daily

Koz

I love MASH....

I've never seen Bobs Burgers but it seems to be quite popular.

X

Fifty First Dates and Ever After. I live through the stories for the happy endings.

I love Fifty First Dates!

It's so stupid but hilarious. It always puts me in a good mood. "I'm a loner, Dottie, a rebel..."

TV: Seinfeld or Mystery Science Theater 3000

A Friend and I quote this line: "There's no basement in The Alamo."

I know you are but what am I? INFINITY!

But what am I?

Yes! And, "I'm trying to make a phone call!"

When I was younger I used to always watch this when I was sick. It was comforting for some reason.

I also have MANY!

I've just been on a Nine to Five kick and it's just SOOOOOOO funny!

"Don't drive angry."

"Shiny"

I also have Groundhog Day in my rotation! I've never seen Firefly.

So much fun! It's only one season but every episode is good. I have it on disk.

Gene Roddenberry described it as Wagon Train in space.

I haven't seen Field of Dreams in a very long time.

A lot of it is about the mood.

TV shows - the classic comedies from my younger days; MASH, Night Court, Barney Miller, etc.

It's been a very long time since I've seen The Blues Brothers....

MASH, Night Court, Barney Miller are some of my favorites! I also LOVE The Dick Van Dyke Show....

TY!

I haven't seen The Gods Must Be Crazy in a long time...Maybe I need to give it another watch.

But I love that movie. Haven't seen in a long time.

ANY Trek will do just fine... even Enterprise. (I am joking.)

As to a movie, well, I would rate that by which films do I usually pick when I need to be mindlessly entertained and transported. There are a few that usually end up on the list. Like you, there is some rotation, but right now, I would have to pick 'Big Trouble In Little China'.

I've never seen Big Trouble In Little China so it's time I do!

Enjoy!

Enterprise seasons 3 and 4 were great.

Strange New Worlds is some of the best Trek ever.

Discovery isn't.

I watch the reruns nearly every day.

I love The Office....IMHO, the dinner party is one of the funniest episodes on T.V. from ANY show

Dinner Party is my second-favorite!

I don't think I've seen The Burbs and I haven't heard of The Red Green Show. I should probably give them a watch.

My TV show is Downton Abbey. My favorite movies are Remember the Titans and Tombstone. The Ocean movies are good too.

Downton Abbey took the world by storm! It's a favorite of many! I love Remember the Titans too.

watching The West Wing...

amazing the number of subjects covered in that show that appear IRL now.

But I have watched it so much that it no longer really helps. It used to remind me of what a real Presidency would be like... but that is so far out of reach now...

I also watch Silicon Valley... just because I've lived it... of course it is a little bit unrealistic, but I've seen all the exact characters and many of the situations that happen in the show.

As for movies... nothing much comes to mind. Maybe The Magnificent Seven with it's simple and somewhat fatalistic story of seven warriors taking on an army that is terrorizing a village.

The West Wing got many people through the Bush years (including my sister)! I've never seen Silicon Valley but have heard good things.

I haven't seen The Magnificent Seven in a long time but I know it's a classic.

are the first ones that come to mind

As for TV, any animated (except Grave of the Fireflies) and MASH, Mary Tyler Moore, Newhart (both shows), Dick Van Dyke, Carol Burnett, Night Court and Barney Miller. That was a great time for comedy.

Yes! The Mary Tyler Moore show was an amazing show! And I also love Barney Miller, Carol Burnett, Night Court and many others. I agree.......A great time for comedy!

During COVID… I binged all of the seasons about theee times.

It just calmed me down.
For those of you who like it, a new season this week I think.

I have friends that absolute LOVE The British Baking Show!

Extra movie- The Kings Speech.

The bit where the Speech pathologist wife meets the King & Queen gets me every time.

* That was patient confidentiality.
I mean the building doorman knew, but not the wife.


Also those costumes!

I haven't seen The King's Speech in a long time but it's an excellent movie...

Movies:
Tremors - Four giant worms terrorize the very small town of Perfection, Nevada killing a number of people. Although it sounds like a cheap, 50s-style scifi movie it's actually done quite well. It's both a comedy, drama, and horror film. The movie has become a cult classic and spawned a number of sequels. It stars Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward, Michael Gross, and Reba McEntire.

The Core - Earth's inner core has stopped rotating causing causing disruption to the Earth's magnetic fields which will end life on Earth within a year. To prevent this, a group of six "Terranaughts" use a newly developed vehicle to travel to the center of the Earth to restart the core. This is a scfi movie but you have to ignore the fake science and just enjoy the movie. What I like about it is the interaction of the characters and how each one deals with others as well how they deal with the dangers of what they're doing. The movie stars Hillary Swank, Aaron Eckhart, Stanley Tucci, and Alfre Woodard.


TV:
The Big Bang Theory - I know many of the punch lines by heart.
Eureka - Fun scfi comedy/drama.

I haven't heard of The Core or Tremors........I also very much enjoy The Big Bang Theory!

Just something about this movie pulls at my heart strings.
Sounds kinda corny, but the ending scene always brings tears to my eyes.

Ghost! I've seen it more times than I can count. I LOVE this movie!

It’s my meeting when I’m too tired to even do a Zoom. Well-written and always gets me to LOL at least once!

I'm going to be out of town when the 3rd movie opens on Sept 12th, so it will be the first thing I do when we get back home, and I'm sure I will buy it as soon as it becomes available for private use.

I call Downton Abbey my mental comfort food.

Also The West Wing, and its movie predecessor The American President.

Both have been endlessly entertaining for me but the opening theme songs both make me feel really good.

Angela by Bob James

funny and basically loving between all the characters - just different kinds of love.

One of my comfort movies is, "Signs." Even though it has a big mistake in how it portrays asthma, and yes, I know--Mel Gibson.

Galaxy Quest. Benny & Joon. Any of the Star Trek series, and Quantum Leap.

….doing the right things for the right reasons, and nobody’s trying to hurt anyone.

And somehow, there’s still a compelling story there! LOL.

I haven’t seen a lot of movies like that. None that I can think of offhand, anyway.

It’s my current feel-good movie.

I stream it on PBS.

What? Is that abnormal?
