Comfort, in television.
Nov. 12th, 2022 12:29 amFrom the movie meme:
Day 21: A movie that makes you cry
Homeward Bound: The Incredibly Journey, another childhood favorite. It doesn't matter how many times I've watched it and know that it has a happy ending, I still get teary-eyed, those last fifteen minutes in particular. It's happy emotional tears, of course, because this is one of those feel-good movies that just knows how to affect you in that way.
From the TV meme:
What's your comfort show?
I have quite a handful, actually. It ranges anywhere between simple, fun, feel-good shows like Parks and Recreation, Leverage, Legend of the Seeker, The Great British Bake-Off (the earlier seasons, anyway), Buzzfeed Unsolved/Ghost Files/Puppet History, Heaven Official's Blessing, and Prince of Tennis (2019), to shows that aren't normally categorized as "feel-good" but I've seen them countless of times and know them by heart that the familiarity is what I consider a comfort, such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, The Untamed, and Word Of Honor. With these I tend to watch select episodes. And then there are the shows that I can just put on in the background where you don't necessarily need to pay that close attention, like detective and crime procedurals or particular sitcoms. It mostly depends on what I'm in the mood for, honestly.
I mean, I'm also someone who considers horror one of my comfort genres, so y'know. It all varies.
