Sort of relaxed, slow-paced, not a ton of plot.

Schitt’s Creek
Corner Gas
Painting/Fishing with John
Father Ted
Man how has no one said Friends? That’s basically a white noise machine on loop for our house.
Tales from the Loop. I describe it as Eldritch Mundanity.
Severance.
Joe Pera Talks With You
Letterkenny. Mostly character driven
The IT Crowd, and Black Books.
IT crowd is neat.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
What was Wenger thinking bringing Walcott on so early?
Letterkenny, maybe
Bubba Ho Tep
Northern Exposure is an amazing and very gentle show, if you can handle 90s tv.
Watch it on Amazon or the music wont make sense
Detectorists
i loved this one lots.
Check out iyashikei as a genre if you like anime. Relaxed and wholesome is kind of the whole bag.
If you liked Corner Gas, also check out Kim’s Convenience.
Lodge 49. Young guy joins a fictional group based on masons and other similar groups. It’s a hanging with friends show with some plot.
I gotta throw Scrubs in the ring here. Skip season 9.
Rewatching Malcolm in the middle, has a lot of the same comedy style, I’m willing to bet same writers. Good shit all around.
“Welcome Back Kotter” is about remedial education class so probably that.
Earth Abides
Its mostly slow. Apocalypse genre, without the insanely selfish caricature of the personal relationships between people.
