    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!

      Modern family.

      It’s just funny enough to be entertaining and has some loose plot that’s fine to follow. Easily forgettable, but great for throwing on. Also, it’s cool to watch the kids on that show grow up over its 10 year run.

      Community

      Parks and rec

      Are others I would toss on for easy to watch. Although community and P&R hide a TON of jokes that make it even funnier if you pay attention.

      Animal Control is like if Community had a baby with Parks and Rec.

        Any hallmark channel original content is like white noise for your brain. If you like to have something on in the background but want to have absolutely no stake in the content it’s a good choice.

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

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

                    We throw on bobs burgers or American dad on random for background stuff sometimes. Works well. Scrubs and the office the same

                        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.

                          I haven't seen it in years, so I could be misremembering things, but The Golden Girls.

                            Earth Abides

                            Its mostly slow. Apocalypse genre, without the insanely selfish caricature of the personal relationships between people.

                                Bee And Puppycat.

                                Try to find the original leaked episodes as they're better than the Netflix rehash.

                                Plot stuff does happen in the show but it's slow and never really resolved unless you want to track down the comics (and even then...), but for the most part the whole vibe of the show is slow, relaxed and chill.

                                Also the art/animation style is beautiful, and it's funny and sad and really well written (if you ignore the rehash) with some interesting voice actors.
