    Big Bang Theory
    Agreed...it always cracks me up. I still get a kick out of Seinfeld reruns as well....most of the humor is still pretty relevant.

    Devil Wears Prada is my go-to if I'm feeling down and need an evening on the sofa with a glass of wine and a bag of self-pity. :) Firefly is another go-to, but I have to have a whole weekend for that one because once I start watching I can't stop until I've watched every episode AND the movie.

    Movie - anything that is "mindless" entertainment.
    Lots of explosions but not a lot of blood and gore
    Has a good soundtrack
    80's movies
    Hot guys are always a plus.

    Kung Pow. Pure genius

    agreed^^

    Some TV shows I can watch over and over quite mindlessly and give me a little chuckle:

    Family Guy (how could I forget that one lol, had to edit that in)
    Friends
    I Love Lucy
    It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
    Three's Company
    What's Happening

    Some movies that I can watch over and over and sometimes make me forget about my problems:

    Clueless
    Back to the Future
    Legally Blonde
    Dumb and Dumber
    Ever After
    50 First Dates
    Armageddon
    Forrest Gump

    Other than that last one, not saying these are my FAVORITE movies but they are just ones that I will sit and watch whenever they come on TV and still enjoy even when I'm feeling down. Some of the best movies I've seen are not ones I can watch endlessly, especially if they had a lot of surprise twists that made them most enjoyable.

    YES!! Sooo thankful for BBC America, though it's nothing like BBC over there. Oh and PBS is a Godsend also ;) ha ha

    I was only in the UK once when I was in the military, I went to Menwith Hill (near Harrogate I believe) for a week, but I loved it AND I got to see Paul Weller on TV, so as an old Jam fan, that made my year!

    Pride and Prejudice the 5 hour BBC mini series.. I mean I like the 2005 Keira Knightley version too but nothing beats the BBC adaptation. Any Audrey Hepburn movies but my favorites are Sabrina or My Fair Lady. Any musical will cheer me up but Billy Elliot is my favorite. As for TV, I'm a HUGE Doctor Who fan.
