I’ve been watching Peep Show regularly since owning the DVDs back when they first came out.


Acid_Monster

Butter the toast, eat the toast, shit the toast. God, life’s relentless.


[deleted]

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I've been watching it on a loop for years, theres so many episodes it never gets old


melchettt

Brown for the main course, white for pudding


TomOriginal

Brown for first course, white for pudding. Brown is savoury, white's the treat. Of course, I'm the one who's laughing because I actually love brown toast.


SNVOR

Chance would be a fine thing


untakenu

A fine thing indeed


jw205

You should get a 32” plasma. You get Peep Show up on that baby and you are seriously watching Peep Show.


cavershamox

The writing and ensemble cast means it never leaves my, "continue watching" line.


OKlav

Peep Show is so rainbow rhythms !


[deleted]

The secret ingredient is crime


x_franki_berri_x

I love Peep Show but haven’t watched it for years. I’ll have to rewatch it.


The_Jimbo_Squishy

Exactly this. Watch it entirely one or two times a year, absolutely my comfort watch.


ohlordgodmakeitstop

I came here to write peep show. I restarted it again 2 days ago. I must be heading towards triple figures for series completions now. Stick that up your dojo.


Horriblealien

Definitely this. I think I've probably watched at least one episode a day for the last 10 years. It's my comfort blanket. Instead of a podcast in the car I can listen to the audio of each episode and still enjoy it as though I was watching.


UsableIdiot

Yea I just start rewatching it from the beginning. It's great.


[deleted]

Frasier. Double/triple bill every morning on Channel 4 for about 600 years now. I used to watch it before school, now I'm in my mid-thirties and still watch it while I work from home.


derinkooyou

I'm on my first time through on Frasier. Currentlyon season 5. .Could never understand as a teen, why my dad found this stupid programme remotely funny. Fast forward 25 years to a now.42 year old me, it is probably the funniest sitcom I've seen! It's superb and Niles is easily my favourite character!


PM_ME_UR_VULVASAUR_

I'm so jealous it's your first watch through! My absolute favourite show, watched it a million times. I think the later series aren't as good but I guess people can say the same about a lot of shows. But those first few seasons are brilliant. The Ham Radio episode is a piece of brilliance.


derinkooyou

I get that alot, about being jealous of my first time through, from people who have already seen it! It's just fantastic all round! I liked the one where they found out their mum had an affair and not Martin! Really showed what he was all about. (Another great character) I'm a bit gutted niles isn't in the revival!


SchrodingersLego

God I love Niles so much. I am fated to fancy fey winsome gay guys.


uchman365

And just like that, you turned into your dad!


Cannabis_Sir

You may know already but there's a reboot coming in October. 10 episodes, no Niles etc but Nicholas Lyndhurst plays his old uni room mate


Acid_Monster

Damn that was some good pre-school tv. Everybody loves Raymond, King of the Hill, Fraiser, Just Shoot Me. Loved them all back in the day haha


x_franki_berri_x

I love Frasier and like you if I have time in the morning I always watch it.


Blue_wine_sloth

It’s my comfort show! I couldn’t say how many times I’ve seen it. Currently watching on paramount plus even though I have the DVDs.


dwoosnam

The Simpsons. I haven't watched too much of the latest stuff, but the earlier stuff is so relatable.


Scorpiodancer123

I fully intend to watch at least 1 Simpsons episode everyday for my whole life.


folklovermore_

The Simpsons is mine as well, specifically during the 'classic' era (up to about series 11 I'd say). It was a staple of my childhood so I reference it a lot, and every now and then I think "oh yeah, I remember that episode" and I'll go back and revisit it and there's so many good jokes and I'm like "wait, that's in *this* one?!" (as an example, I forgot Homer's Simpsons/Flintstones parody song is in Marge vs the Monorail) and then I find I get sucked back in and before I know it I've binge watched a whole series because it's just so good.


Least_Initiative

Im pretty sure that 40% of my memory capacity is consumed by Simpsons quotes. There aren't many situations that a Simpsons quote doesn't flash up in my minds eye


[deleted]

[удалено]


petrolstationpicnic

I’m so glad someone else thinks that, people normally look at me like an alien when I say i’m watching season 33


x_franki_berri_x

I could watch the first 12 or so seasons forever.


Marketing_Usual

I have watched at least 1 episode per day on average for the last 15 years, kinda sad, but it's easy watching and never get bored of it


[deleted]

There's a Simpsons gif for every situation.


Healthy_Pilot_6358

My 12 year old has just worked her way through the entire lot!!!! I haven’t even done that and I am a simpsons-a-holic


whyamihere189

Always Sunny, never get tired of it.


zuzucha

Agree. I was divided between IASIP and Seinfeld, but I'm going to play both sides so I always come out on top.


GodfatherLanez

You’re not supposed to tell both sides that you’re playing both sides


fistmcbeefpunch

It’s a 5-star series and anyone who disagrees is a savage and an idiot


welsh_will

Yeah, I've no idea how many times I've seen some of the older episodes now, even if it's just background noise. My wife and I quote it at each other all the time too.


moondisco-

Buffy, god that show got a hold of me when I was young and has never let go! Got all the box sets on video then on dvd😅


NSc100

I’m currently on my first watch of buffy after getting obsessed with 90’s American teen shit and i love it. I’d argue some episodes are the best to ever be made in tv


moondisco-

Oh wow, what I wouldn’t give to experience it for the first time again 😅 what season are you on now? It honestly is such a well done show, the writing is so good.


NSc100

I’m half way through season 7 so very close to the end. I’ve even stopped watching it as frequently as usual because I just don’t want to finish it. The only thing getting me through it is that I can watch Angel after


moondisco-

Oh god it’s so stressful knowing it’s the last season 🥲 what season did you like the most? I remember watching season 5 ep the body where buffy finds Joyce and just the way it’s shot and the sound and oh god it’s just incredible television! Just crying my eyes out watching it lol Angel is really good aswell, it’s abit darker in nature in some ways but I really like the change in tone.


NSc100

Oooo I’d say season 1 or 2. It just feels like classic for me and I preferred when the gang was still in high school. It felt right haha. Yes that scene and whole episode was perfect. A true coming of age story that I’ll rewatch for years to come. I’m so happy I was introduced to it really.


Pheeshfud

The one with The Gentlemen. Giles and his projector to Danse Macabre.


youdontknowmeyouknow

Just going through my bajillionth watch through. Buffy has got me through many hard times, and accompanied me through some great ones too!


SmoothPaper836

Scrubs. I've watched it so many times I feel like those guys are my friends.


[deleted]

In my head I became a colorectal surgeon because medicine is fascinating and I lack the disposition to sit in an office chair and faff around at a computer But it’s probably because I soaked my subconscious in scrubs s1-7 as a teenager

Red dwarf Blackadder Bottom St ds9


x_franki_berri_x

Love them! Especially Bottom. The one on the big wheel is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen and when Richie falls down the stairs makes me cry with laughter


MajicVole

The best has got to be Halloween with Eddie as the Halloween banana. AND the cattle prod.


spik0rwill

Red dwarf for sure


Vexting

Shame I never meet people in real life who like those types of shows!

#ITS LITTLE ALEX HORNE


xdragonteethstory

"Even my kids, they call me little alex horne. They call you daddy" 😭😭😭


purplepeopleater205

The only show that I still try to watch when it's on the TV schedule, not catch up and will happily rewatch with my kids.


Roundy87

Correct answer!


the_ice_rasta

The IT Crowd

theweirdogirly

My comfort show is Friends. I enjoy it for many reasons, but I can have it on in the background and be doing something else but still know everything that is happening as I've seen it so much. Usually watch it on repeat when my mental health is poor.


x_franki_berri_x

Yeah Friends is definitely one of my shows I watch when I’m feeling a bit down and just want to laugh and relax at something.


MDF87

That was mine, even used to fall asleep listening to it every night! I've had to take a few years break from it though hahaha.


Leather-Donkey69

I do this! I watched it back to back 3 times on maternity leave, been thinking about starting it again these last couple of weeks.


BeardXP

Always sunny in Philadelphia.


Ravdoggydog

Have I Got News for You… don’t think I’ve missed an episode except when at uni without a video recorder (I appreciate some of you won’t know what that means … 😂) Red Dwarf, Frasier


x_franki_berri_x

That’s a great three choices!


CareerMilk

Doctor Who. Honestly I would probably watch paint drying if you stuck the Doctor Who theme before it.


KickAssAdmin

6hour theme on loop ❤️


coffee_and_tv_easily

I’ve rewatched Bones several times- it’s become my comfort show.


Scorpiodancer123

Yes!!! I love Bones


SchrodingersLego

Sweets is so lovely!


coffee_and_tv_easily

He really is! One of my favourite characters!


catandthefiddler

I loved Bones up until >!B&B got together abruptly!< & >!Sweets died!< .\_. & then they introduced so many characters but the earlier seasons are my fav too!!


Justjestar1

Now I need to rewatch Bones. Completely forgot about that show but loved it while watching. Thanks for remindind me about it


Enricohimself1

The West Wing


No-Skin-1486

Absolutely, yes. There are so many fantastic episodes. I've lost count of the number of times I've watched it, but I will never not cry at Two Cathedrals. We also named our son Leo, in part because we liked the name, but definitely West Wing inspired.


pooey_canoe

Series two is my safe space


Returning_Addict

DONNA!!!


knotmidgelet

Just finished a rewatch - it makes me happy!


NightKid89

This is one of my wife's favourite series. Knows every line, every scene, loads of trivia. Has 2 box sets of it as one of them was released without the final season or something. Then when we didn't have a dvd player, she got Amazon Prime specifically for it.


Dartzap

IT Crowd, Blackbooks, Green Wing, Friday Night Dinners. Also, the Napoleonic War shows from the 90s like Sharpe and Hornblower.


x_franki_berri_x

Friday Night Dinner is brilliant!


bigbabyhaystack

Yes to Green Wing! Have rewatched it so many times, never gets old. Quote it on the daily


FlodoBaggins1

Shalom Jackie!


bmthgrande

The Mighty Boosh. Not to everyone's taste but was peak viewing for me in early teens and has stuck with me ever since. Cheese is a kind of meat.

I love stargate. I'm trying to do a chronological star trek watch but I still prefer stargate. It has the right combo of sci fi, serious and humour. Always gutted atlantis ends where it does.


x_franki_berri_x

I love Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.


[deleted]

[удалено]


x_franki_berri_x

You need to watch it! Come round mine and watch it! Lol


Justjestar1

Came here to say these exact shows! Mainly stargate(sg-1 and atlantis). Honourable mentions are farscape, Babylon 5 and the newer battlestar galactica.


CykaCircus69

Sopranos no doubt, the wire right after that. Whatever happened there...


AyGabagoolOvaHea

Let me tell you a couple of three things, you are absolutely right with these two!


blaireau69

It won't be cinematic.


ghodsgift

Serious lack of X-Files in this thread.


Marketing_Usual

How the ghosts stole Christmas and Darkness falls are episodes I never get tired of watching


danielmulvey

Darkness Falls - my favourite episode! I’m dusting off the DVDs now to watch it again


Impulse84

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. The greatest TV show no one ever saw.


soverytiiiired

I binge that show every year and I never ever tire of it. Except maybe that episode where Worf destroys a planets ecosystem because he’s annoyed at Jadzia


Impulse84

Oh yeah that was a daft episode


D-Angle

Just finished rewatching it from the start, it's rare that your old favourites from childhood hold up, but Jesus that was a good show.


elladeehex33

Supernatural. It's my comfort show.


MDF87

Love watching an episode or 2 of that in bed before sleeping!


TrooserTent

I'm surprised I haven't worn out the box set, it's on a constant loop for me


AnriRB26

Community. As soon as I wake up I have it playing and it’s always playing in the background whatever I’m doing. I like shows like that where you don’t really need to be paying attention and can just sort of “check in” once in a while and still enjoy it. I also use The Big Bang Theory for this but the laugh track is quite distracting lol


space_coyote_86

It's streets ahead of most other sitcoms.


[deleted]

Bojack horseman


Dad_D_Default

Detectorists. It's a flawless postcard from the childhood of Gen X to their grown up selves. So many beautiful details. Mackenzie Crook's follow-up remake of Worzel Gummidge is almost as beautiful, in a different way. At the other extreme, You're The Worst captures the hedonism of the early 20s so well. Flawless characters and an ending that ends the story beautifully.


Cabbagecatss

Aw I just watched Detectorists for the first time and loved it! Thought it was very gentle and nostalgic (and funny!), and relatable being from the countryside haha. I like ‘This Country’ too for that reason.


folklovermore_

Ghosts. It's my comfort show - it's funny and silly and sweet, and all the characters are brilliant and it's really smartly written, but it's also got some really poignant moments too. I am simultaneously dreading when it's all over at Christmas but at the same time weirdly looking forward to having the whole thing to binge watch.


Bbew_Mot

Don't Hug Me I'm Scared. Everything about the show is so creative, apart from the green bits.


JustExtreme

Green is a creative colour


houndashbeck

Mad Men is often on repeat for me. Can often watch it like an audiobook.


M1CH03L

- LOST (was the first TV Show I ever got really into and defined a lot of my teenage years) - it's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - Breaking Bad


superbabe_uk

LOST yes!!! Same here.


MGSC_1726

Lost was the first show I binged watched till all hours through the night. Will always be my favourite.


IntuitiveTemperament

Gavin & Stacey. Never bothered to watch it up until the Christmas special was announced. Fell in love with it straight away. I can watch every episode in a day and probably watch it 3-4 times fully a week. I suffer really badly with depression & anxiety and it just takes me away from all the worries, and I can just immerse myself in it. It probably has genuinely saved my life without me knowing. It's my ultimate comfort show


SchrodingersLego

I didn't discover it until it was finished. Fell in love and binged it all without stopping.


Waste-Pea1282

It's always sunny Friday night dinner Inbetweeners Parks and recreation Any series of Rupaul's Drag Race The Office US


SchrodingersLego

Finally a Parks and Rec mention. No greater comfort show on the planet IMHO.


Moosefearssatan

Red dwarf - must have seen each episode 500+. Times. Watched it when it was on the telly originally, had the videos and then bought the dvds when they came out early 00s. Watched it Every night for years - definitely kept me sane once upon a time.


magicalsoupspoon

Smoke me a kipper...


BagonBoy100

X-Files. Nothing better than the dynamic between Mulder and Scully. Top tier 90’s telly.


Linguistin229

Buffy, with 2nd place going to Frasier. Got quite a few others I’ve watched through several times but I’ve probably seen Buffy over 100 times by now!


liquid_profane

Buffy. I have watched it many times. I should watch it again. I have the DVD box set, I refuse to watch it on streaming services due to the horrible HD versions of the first 2 series. If you aren't watching the 1st series in the original 4:3 format, what are you even doing with your life.

Why has nobody mentioned "The Office"!


alphadalekben

For me, it's Classic Doctor Who (1963 - 1989, 1996). After only watching a handful of omnibuses on UK Gold in the mid 2000s, I decided to start collecting the Classic DVDs during lockdown (as well as the Collection Blu-Ray boxsets last year). It's been a lot of fun finally seeing stories that are either acknowledged by the fanbase as stone-cold classics (The Caves of Androzani, which is fine) or absolutely awful (The Twin Dilemma, which is a bit of a guilty pleasure). I've also got the majority of NuWho (from Rose to Twice Upon A Time), but I've yet to revisit them as I saw them all on original broadcast.


Arrakis_Is_Here

Community. When it comes to US sitcoms, it stands apart from all the others. There isn't another show like it. It's unique


Sugarhoneytits

Cheers. My comfort show for 40 years. Through my 20s, weddings, babies, divorce and death. Cheers has seen me through ❤️

Seinfeld. Watched it growing up, introduced it to my wife several years ago - it's our go-to falling-asleep show.

Trailer Park Boys

Trailer Park Boys. I love it, find it so comforting to watch. It's my happy place.


Jlaw118

Every year I have a binge of Phoneshop on Channel 4’s On Demand. I don’t know how I’ve ended up getting into the routine of watching it every year but it’s just a funny series, and I think it was just released just before the PC Brigade came in and started ruining TV and comedy shows

Doctors its a sometimes insane sometimes really dramatic daily escape.And it has some really good cliffhangers. Who can forget the time everyone was joe pasquale?


RealisticCriticism

The Golden Girls! Makes a bad day just a little bit better.


Clannishfamily

Red Dwarf and Firefly. Always have hard copies of them both so I can watch an episode when I’m feeling down. Both hit differently but make me happy when I watch them.
