Comfort TV and YouTubers?

[shadowcat5]

Mine is Gogglebox. It’s got everything I need regarding heartwarming, funny, and sad. the different tv shows keep me engaged and it requires no real thought so I can watch it without worrying about a storyline

I don’t really watch YouTubers but my comfort tv shows are:
Four in a bed. Really makes me laugh. I find it can start off as background noise and then I suddenly really get into it
Come dine with me
Gogglebox
Celeb coach trip
The American version of the office. Especially when I need a good laugh!

First seasons of will and grace. Fraiser.

frasier is the ultimate comfort tv for me, there has never been a more perfect show

 

[Lola UK]

The US office
Gilmore girls
Peep show

I’ve watched the US office more times than I’d care to admit I just put it on as background noise sometimes

Gilmore girls just feels like a warm hug

I enjoy watching Korean YouTubers - they just go about their day and their videos tend to be so beautifully soothing, aesthetic and wonderful to watch. Lots of them have subtitles in English or different languages. My favourite one is by a lady whose channel is called Plan D

I searched to see if there was a thread on this but sadly there wasn’t. What is your go to comfort show or youtuber to watch and why? I need something or someone to watch when my anxiety is bad.

 

[cococookie]

Sex and The City

Airline, watched it growing up & there’s some episodes on YouTube so I’ve been watching that lol

My mad fat diary

 

[Emzykins]

Oh god I could be here forever with my comfort shows and movies.

TV Shows:
Friends
Greys
Orange is the new black
The L Word
And then any trash daytime tv hahaha

Movies:
Any of the Hunger Games movies
Inside Out
Titanic (lmaooo)
Shawshank Redemption
Mean Girls

Honestly when my MH is bad and I completely shut off from life you can be sure I’ll be laid in bed watching one of the above. And when I’m in full mum mode and my daughter is awake, I am OBSESSED with Bluey!!!! Literally one of the best childrens shows ever made!

 

[Very traditional]

If I want something nice and easy and comforting I would go for:

Come dine with me
Four in a bed
Midsummer murders

or YouTube - How to Cook That with Ann Reardon. Ann has THE most soothing voice

 

[pinkmug]

Tv Show:
Brooklyn 99, especially the first 4-5 seasons
Scrubs

They tend to have single episode plots so nothing too elaborate that will keep you too anxious about what's coming next. Both are my 'eating' shows.

On YouTube I like daily life vloggers from Japan. Nami and Choki are great for when you need something quiet but calming and comforting. I also really enjoy Travel Alone Idea, it's a travel channel from Japan and his silent train vlogs are chill but very entertaining.

Gavin & Stacey, Gardeners World.

 

[Codiaeum]

I like many of those Korean housewife YouTubers for comfort watching, although I have some suspicion that they are all made up, they are just too similar.
Also on YouTube Alvin Zhou, he makes great cooking video, doesn’t talk and just takes a really long time preparing lovely dishes.
For ASMR watching for comfort I like ASMR Twix on YouTube.

 

[nicalibres]

Still game
Four in a bed
The durrells
Gavin and Stacey

I don’t watch many YouTubers but I like
The Cottage Fairy - slow living etc, very calming
Dainty Diaries - home and gardening
I also like clean with me videos lol

 

[Pretty Hate Machine]

Films/Tv

Red dwarf
Labyrinth
Dogma
first Harry Potter
Malcolm in the middle
Raising Hope
House Md
My family

Not much youtube anymore to be honest. Dainty Diaries, old Christine Kobzeff/pink so foxy videos from when she used to vlog in Hawaii.Homemade wanderlust and other videos of walking/hiking places. Ross edgley if I need a bit of positivity. The Wonder channel which is full of people and stories who made it out of huge disasters and is massively addictive. This is always great for making me appreciate that maybe things could be worse! Same for the series on Amazon called "I shouldn't be alive."

 

[esoes]

I've just noticed that "Mum" is back on the iPlayer again and I thought of this thread straightaway! Highly recommend as a comfort series, I'm just about to rewatch the whole 3 series from scratch.

 

[Sue Tuke manager]

The Royale Family
The Office (US version only)
Dinnerladies
This Country
I like having something on in the background that I don't have to pay attention to if I'm reading or on my phone.
