There are countless genres out there, something for everyone really. But sometimes you do not want to watch a thriller or a mystery; nothing that keeps you on edge or requires even the most minimal of brain functioning. You just want to sit back, after a long and exhausting day, and watch the most lighthearted show that will make you laugh out loud. Some of the best comfort shows for moments like these include all-time favorites, including Friends, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, the Office, Gilmore Girls, and Schitt’s Creek.

One main reason for Friend’s popularity was its level of relatability. A group of friends who are trying to steer their way through life, running into troubles that all of us do. And finding humor in it is an excellent way to seek comfort in knowing that you are not the only one going through this phase of life. The show’s timeless popularity is a testament to the fact that young pupils throughout the years run through the same problems. But all you need are good friends and a constant supply of coffee to get through!

Brooklyn nine is a relatively new comedy show, and while it does not rank highly on the relatability aspect, it sure makes you laugh. Each character is unique in their own way and their lives make you forget all about your own for a while; which is exactly what you need! Gilmore Girls also allows you to immerse yourself in the lives of someone else and it can rank high on the relatability aspect for many! The seasons of the show are a perfect illustration of how Rory grows up and experiences all the changes in her life; something every young girl goes through. It can be a great way for one to reminisce about how life used to be or what is yet to come in life!
