Adventure time, futurama, red dwarf, hyperdrive, over the garden wall, wolfboy and the everything factory (despite being fairly new, it’s absolutely amazing and I’ve watched it a lot), owl house, centaurworld, Steven universe, infinity train, Hilda, final space, bravest warriors, gravity falls, and lower decks.

Yes that’s a lot, yes there are more (I have a playlist that shuffles them all like a tv station made just for my comfort), and yes I do watch them when I can’t sleep. Which is frequent. Most of them I’ve seen so many times I don’t even need to watch, even though I’m aphantasic (no internal imagery). Hearing them is soothing, and plenty to know exactly what’s happening. They are safe, enjoyable, and mostly have enough episodes to cycle through that it doesn’t ever feel stale or like “the hell? I just watched this one…”

All of them except red dwarf and hyperdrive are animated because I have prosppagnosia (face blindness) and animation is typically a lot easier for me to get into in the first place, but importantly the two live shows have somewhat limited characters, fairly consistent wardrobes, and the characters don’t tend to resemble one another (a huge problem with most tv and movies these days; everyone looks so samey..) Star Trek would probably be on this list but there are so many of them that I’ve only seen each series a few times.

What's the everything factory? I've not heard of that

[–] ButteryMonkey@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Wolfboy and the everything factory is a really cute save the world adventure, where the main character is transported to the everything factory, the place where all things for the earth are made by magical sprites.

It stays relatively light and cheery even when they venture into deeper topics, and overall just totally worth a watch. Two seasons, fully contained story.

It’s an Apple Original, which may be why nobody has heard of it (seriously, the fragmentation of media into all these services is hell for discoverability), but honestly I think they are probably the best production studio out there right now, especially for animated stuff.

If you’ve seen owl house and liked it, this has strongly similar vibes.

That sounds lovely! Thanks for the info

Hello friend! I love centaurworld, Steven universe, infinity train, Hilda, adventure time, owl house, and gravity falls!! Excited to check out the other shows you mentioned!!

[–] ButteryMonkey@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I really hope you enjoy them!

If you haven’t seen it, pantheon is also fantastic, tho it’s quite a bit heavier.

One of these days I plan to make an effort post of all the good stuff I’ve seen. I have no life, and collecting non-anime, not-for-babies, animated series makes me happy. I have about 500 of them at the moment, though I’ve watched less than half.

That's awesome I love non-anime, not-for-babies, animated series! Have you seen Kipo and the age of the wonderbeasts?

I would love to see this awesome post!

Red Dwarf and Hyperdrive I've rewatched a couple of times. Good shows. Jeffers is such a great character.

[–] robolemmy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Monk, Psych, and Frasier because they're mildly amusing and inoffensive. They're basically comfort food TV shows that I put on while I do other things.

Archer because it's smart and fucking hilarious.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and The Expanse.

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can't get into the expanse I've tried. Also where shall I send the buttplug?

[–] SEND_BUTTPLUG_PICS@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

You could try the books if the acting is the problem but if it's not an interesting story to you neither the show of the books will help.

Send them to my inbox!

If I had to guess, it's probably Avatar: The Last Airbender. My younger-self was obsessed with that show, I could recite entire episodes by heart.

Letterkenny. There's just something so comforting about it as someone from Ontario, aside from the humour.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

They used to play 'Angel' at 4 am on my local station. I needed to be out the door by 5 am. I'd have it on in the background every morning.

Probably either MythBusters or Parks and Recreation.

Edit: Actually, the answer might technically be the original Blue's Clues. I had way more free time when I was a toddler.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago

Probably The Goodies, as it was endlessly repeated during my formative years. I don't really rewatch shows much any more.
