Lemmy is really a different type of audience.
This question each and every time had The West Wing as top rated answer on the other platform consistently, but here even Taskmaster gets 8 votes.
The West Wing was required medicine to get through 45. For 47, I’m hearing good things about 86.
Futurama.
I put it on to fall asleep. I'm out before the episode ends. A downside is that I've seen the start of so many episodes, but rarely the end.
The sopranos. Easily one of the best shows ever made. I catch new things every time I watch. David Chase is genius.
MASH. Just comforting background noise from my childhood really.
OG Simpsons. Seasons 3 to tenish. Some of the best writing ever.
Futurama, preferring the older seasons, but the later ones are still good.
I've recently started watching Hill Street Blues. Most of which is available on you tube if anyone's interested. Really been enjoying it.
TNG, Voyager and DS9.
Gotta finish off with Enterprise, it has been a long road.
Underrated take. The true end of the TNG era of shows.
(not era of time, obviously)
Community, Bob's Burger, Firefly, Avatar the Last Airbender
Bob's burgers is great!
Community never ceases to cheer me up

I’m dating myself:
- Hogans Heroes
- Mission: Impossible (the TV series from the 60’s & 70’s, not the movie franchise that’s just a Tom Cruise adrenaline fantasy)
Firefly
Yeah I cry a lot, what of it?
Futurama and avatar are endlessly rewatchable imo
Band of Brothers once per year, without fail. Curahee!
Oh, man. Fantastic show, but I find it really hard to watch because I know it's so damn accurate.
I admire your commitment, it should be in high school history classes. It shows better than anything I've ever watched, how hellish it was for everyone.
The D-day beaches, holy hell.

90's Trek is my go too comfort food. Especially TNG and Voyager. Less so Enterprise. And I never got into DS9 at all (fight me). When I'm looking for a random episode to watch in the background, it's usually one of those.
-
Comedy-wise, Community, Night Court (the original), The IT Crowd, The Office, Futurama, all fill the same role as Star Trek above.
-
Less often, but still on a pretty regular rotation, 80's shows like Quantum Leap, Simon & Simon, MacGuyver, Knight Rider. Just dumb shows where they have a one hour adventure and then have a new one the next week; where you don't have to stress about watching every damn episode because the entire season is one big plotline.

I usually have one of these on in the background whenever I’m coding. I can’t code in silence and if I have music I end up singing and can’t concentrate.

Babylon 5
SG1, ALL 3 series. some law and order and house. 2000s the golden era of shows. and also TREK shows, not the crappy nutrek(too much kurtzman, jj abrams meddling). ISAIP (S1-12 only), 13+ seasons were just terrible and ionly fan service with cringey skits. the animated nutrek is much better than the 3 live series.
SPN 1-5, by kripke, 6+ and they made to fanfiction and made it homoerotic because the fans are fantasizing about the characthers.
Arrested Development
Archer
Dilbert
Lol I forgot all about this one! Was a good'un
None.
Usually, it's Parks and Rec, The Office, Scrubs, and IASIP. But I have gotten sick of those after watching most of them a dozen plus times, so now it's Community, Zoeys Playlist, and Cougar Town until I get sick of them too
Futurama, Las Vegas, 30Rock.
The Wire and Luther. Can you tell I love Idris Elba?
Adventure time, courage the cowardly dog
Star Trek: TNG, VOY, DS9
The Andy Griffith Show. Wholesome, and ALWAYS funny, at least until Don Knotts left the cast. I just watched an Earnest T Bass episode and an Otis the Drunk episode over the weekend.
