I was tagged by @deraingedhawkeye, so here are my 10 comfort shows

#1- Mash. It will always be Mash. Not going to elaborate because 50% of my blog is this.

#2- Gravity Falls. What else can be said about this show?

#3- My Name Is Earl. I'm still crossing my fingers that there will be a reboot in the near future :(

#4- Bob's Burgers. Such a breath of fresh compared to other adults cartoons. I love watching healthy families thrive.

#5- Three's Company. I love and miss John Ritter so much :( he never fails to make me laugh.

#6- The Monkees. Family sitcoms from 40-70 years get on my nerves because of how overly wholesome they are. But the same vibe applied to a group of characters who aren’t family? Sign me up!! The Monkees are also literally the reason why I didn’t kill myself over Covid so…

#7- Futurama. Same reasons as Bob's Burgers.

#8- King of the Hill. I watched the entire show during the summer between my sophomore and junior year of high school. I love this beyond words. Can’t wait for the reboot :)

#9- The Golden Girls. What hasn’t been said about how great this show is??

#10- The Andy Griffith Show. As said above, not a fan of old family sitcoms, but this one is great. The perfect amount of wholesomeness without being overly annoying or cheesy like Leave It to Beaver or The Brady Bunch. I also love Don Knotts.

Honorable mentions because there’s more than 10:

- Gilligan's Island

- Happy Days

- I Dream of Jeannie

- Parks and Rec

- Laverne and Shirley

- That Girl

- The Muppet Show

- Seinfeld

It’s always Mystery Gang this and that, but I think the real question is what was the polycule situation on Gilligan’s Island

HOLD UP I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT GILLIGAN

YOUVE JUST UNLOCKED SO MANY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES OF MINE

Ahh, I am so glad you know about Gilligan/ Gilligan’s Island! Most people under 50 don’t 😭!

Gilligan is my beloved, you wanna know where island comes from in my username??? It is from this show!!!!

But oh our sweet Gilligan…I had a crush on him for years, lol, but Gilligan’s Island is THE BEST! Such good fun, such wonderful characters, and the theme song!!!! It is such a shame it only lasted 3 seasons, it had so much potential!

BTW….I’ve thinking about a Wild Kratts Gilligan’s Island AU….

Had to do something while recovering from surgery when all I did was listen to Gilligan’s Island, lol.

What do you think? Do you agree with my placement of the characters? What would you do different?

Very disappointed to find they did not have a MASH one, but I may or may not be ordering one of these atm

Porn star Jerry Butler said his sexual awakening involved reruns of Gilligan’s Island, Honey West, and Shari Lewis.
