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

    OG medical shows; ER predates house by like 10years, and went on like 12+seasons. only stopped at the later seasons, because house was better at that point.

    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).

    The Red Green Show

    Easy-going comedy with minimal plot, mostly there to tie together an episode of shorter skits. Some Boomer humor, but not too cringe, I think.

    Nichijou and High Maintenance are two that come to mind. Sort of opposite ends of the spectrum, but both are slice of life shows that are much more about vibes than plot.

    Also if you like Home Movies then Dr Katz is a must

    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.

    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.
