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

      j/k. I miss when Friends were still coming out with new episodes. Those were less complicated days.

    Burn Notice Royal Pains

    Basically anything made during the heyday of USANetwork. “Dramas” without intensity.

      Good answer. Some of the comedies that have been mentioned have a lot of subtle stuff going on that really require your attention (they’re mostly still good if you’re not paying attention, though). The USA stuff was pure fluff. Much of it was actually kind of boring if you paid attention!

      burn notice was my favorite for USAnetworks, then they did a small hiatus thats when i stopped watch. suits was right after BN, i never got into it, and its dramatized version of a law show, compared to other law shows. RP was interesting take on a doctor-esque show, too bad i lost interest when they did a wierd hiatus between the final season.

    If you’re not opposed to anime: Frieren.

    Totally chill, nothing complicated, hardly any plot arcs, pure bliss.

    The Simpsons comes to mind. There’s usually a plot, but it’s not too complicated and each episode is self contained for the most part. Seinfeld is similar with possibly less plot (it is a show about nothing after all).

      Rewatching Malcolm in the middle, has a lot of the same comedy style, I’m willing to bet same writers. Good shit all around.

        Sometimes I don’t understand downcotes.

        Malcolm in the middle is one of the best series ever. (imho seriously)

        Yup, I don’t know what I was thinking. Must have been thinking of some other show with 9 seasons. 🥸

    I’m a big fan of the Inspector Morse series. Theres the original series called Inspector Morse made in the late 80s. Then a show called Lewis made in the early 2000s. Then Endeavour which is a prequel to Inspector Morse which was made recently. All are good in their own way. These are all very slow, methodical, and long episodes made by ITV in the UK. There are loose overarching plot elements in each show that roll out slowly over the seasons. I have to be in a mood to watch them though. Usually late winter, or fall is when that happens.

    I’d argue anything is a slow show if you watch it in a slower cadence. Our current lunch run rotates between the following shows on different weekdays:

    • I Love Lucy
    • Parks & rec
    • Mary Tyler Moore
    • Only Fools & Horses
    • Corner Gas
    • All in the family
    • Big Train

    I didn’t grow up in North America and have never seen some of these older “classics”, so its been fun. Cheers was in there for awhile, but we noped out in S6 when the stories got too silly.
