Funny that Criminal Minds got brought up. We only kept Netflix for the longest time specifically because CM was such a comfort show to put on in the background, both just for noise and to go to bed to, until me and my spouse looked at each other, and decided we're not paying to stream literally just one show. I now have a dedicated USB to just CM on it plugged into the TV, haha.
We've kept Hulu around though, because its got multiples of what we enjoy. Bob's Burgers is the only thing everyone in the family can readily agree on though, and so we tend to default to it. My wife will fall asleep to almost any true crime show though, and my dumbass gets sucked in watching until I hear the birds chirp, which is how I know I've screwed up lol. Archer is another big one for me, but spouse can't stand it so I only occasionally get to put it on, haha. And as much as I can't stand Family Guy, American Dad and partially The Cleveland Show have always been big ones for me. American Dad especially, as an old roommate got me into it before I really knew any of the "behind the scenes" about the adult cartoon genre, and its just something I don't want to give up even if I inherently understand its not the best of shows to watch. Ah well.
Right now Stranger Things. It brings me back to a time I didn't get to experience and fills me with a sense of nostalgia.
I also enjoy some kdrama hehe. I'm not sure if I could narrow it down enough, but seeing other cultures and locations through the shows does bring a lot of comfort ^^
mine is definitely Bob's Burgers
if i'm not in an anime mood and i'm not sure what to watch, i'll just throw on an episode and it never fails to make me laugh!
the movie is out and i'm super excited to watch it!!
Seconding some shows that have already been mentioned- Bob's Burgers, It's Always Sunny, The Office (US), Letterkenny! I finally watched season 10 of Letterkenny after rewatching every season, and I'm excited to watch Shorsey, been hearing great things about it.
Also love Nathan For You to have something to laugh at in the background. I haven't seen every episode but I have a handful that I go back to often because they just make me laugh so much.
Full House is also a classic for me because I grew up watching it on TV everyday as a kid! I have the full DVD boxset and have been meaning to rewatch it in order again soon.
A TV show that always brings me happiness and comfort is Avatar: The Last Airbender! I don't know how many times I've rewatched that show But as of recently I've been watching Kitchen Nightmares, Gordon Ramsay is incredibly entertaining xD all the episodes have been officially posted on their YouTube account and I've just binged them all. Deffo one of my favourite shows to kill time with.
I'm one up for real crime series! Usually i put them for the noise but always get dragged by the case haha
My comfort series are Adventure Time and Gumball; i've seen AT so many times i recall dialogues, it's my "better universe, creative drive" cartoon; and Gumball is there for the all time favourite laughs, best characters and smart script! When i don't have acces or don't want to watch any of them i always carry Over The Garden Wall on my hard drive, it's a beautiful story that only lasts an afternoon so it's perfect for a different day !
