    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.

    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.

    • Stargate SG1 and Atlantis
    • Supernatural
    • Person of Interest
    • The mentalist
    • Eureka
    • Psych
    • House
    • Bones

    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.

    • 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.

      In Trek, there’s ToS and TNG. After that, meh. They became soap operas, full on. ToS was Greek Morality Plays, and TNG followed that, though had it’s issues too.

      Great closing bullet point.

    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.
