    • 90’s Trek is my go too comfort food. Especially TNG and Voyager. Less so Enterprise. And I never got into DS9 at all (fight me). When I’m looking for a random episode to watch in the background, it’s usually one of those.

    • Comedy-wise, Community, Night Court (the original), The IT Crowd, The Office, Futurama, all fill the same role as Star Trek above.

    • Less often, but still on a pretty regular rotation, 80’s shows like Quantum Leap, Simon & Simon, MacGuyver, Knight Rider. Just dumb shows where they have a one hour adventure and then have a new one the next week; where you don’t have to stress about watching every damn episode because the entire season is one big plotline.

      In Trek, there’s ToS and TNG. After that, meh. They became soap operas, full on. ToS was Greek Morality Plays, and TNG followed that, though had it’s issues too.

      Great closing bullet point.
