What TV show will get you out of a depressed mood?

[Deja Q]

For me, "Red Dwarf" does it every time.

Just watched "Polymorph" - utterly brilliant stuff! :rofl:

[Wapsie B]

1. For me it's any show with Robin Williams doing standup comedy.

Ain't no way I'm feeling bad after watching that.

[brainshrub]

2. The show: "COPS"

I usualy get visions of Orwell's book 1984 when I see that show. The live pain and suffering of the poor should not be entertainment.

[Deja Q]

6. "Vengeance on Varos" becomes a reality.

Well, it's a loose parallel (a society made indolent and unquestioning by watching other people, usually prisoners, suffer via forms of torture...)

[MindPilot]

7. Just once, I wanna see Officer Noblefuzz roll up on a gated community

and take down some rich white guy for pillaging his company's pension funds.

[48pan]

35. I love Cops!

It makes me feel superior (to just about everybody on the show). What a bunch of idiots.

[no_hypocrisy]

3. F Troop. Really.

[MindPilot]

4. Reno 911, Family Guy, or pretty much anything on TV Land

Get Smart
Addams Family
F Troop
Green Acres
etc.

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. Black Adder

[Bridget Burke]

37. Except for the last show of "Blackadder Goes Forth"

When they all go "over the top". That history is just a bit too recent.

Generally, though, Blackadder & some other Brit comedies are the best.

[GreenPartyVoter]

38. The war sounds fading into Flanders poppies and birdsong. Gets

me misty eyed every time.

[coffeenap]

8. Pingu!

[moof]

9. Coupling

[malmapus]

10. Family Guy, Futurama, Fawlty Towers, Red Dwarf, Robot Chicken

MXC

[nytemare]

14. Oh, MXC !!

That show is a guilty pleasure for me. I can't help it, but it is funny as hell!!

I find myself rooting for the people.

[malmapus]

23. Hah! Yeah its a guilty pleasure for me too bud =)

:D

[RebelOne]

11. Home Shopping Network or QVC.

I'm always happy when I'm shopping.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

12. Chappelle always makes me laugh, especially if it is one of the truly

great ones. Basketball with Prince. Muppet VD. Tyrone on Fear Factor. Waye Brady ("Is Wayne Brady going to have to choke a bitch?")

[nytemare]

13. I went to school with Wayne

Great guy, that skit is funny as hell.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

15. It's my all time fave on Chappelle. I wasn't familiar with Wayne Brady

before but some of my friends explained that he has a kind of clean cut, Cosbyesque showbiz persona, which makes the skit all the funnier, although I was kind of guessing at that while watching it.

[nytemare]

18. He is on "Who's line is it Anyway"

He had a variety show at night that was cancelled, and a daytime talk show that was cancelled, sadly.

He is sort of a male Bette Midler, he can do it all. Comedy, song, dance, acting. He is a rare breed, these days.

[zinndependence]

33. definitely Chapelle!

I think the VD Muppets sketch was the most hilarious thing ever! Also, any Rick James sketches are great.

Family Guy will make you laugh your ass off too!

[foreigncorrespondent]

16. Unforutnately!

Nothing works for me that is on TV anymore. Especially at the minute. I am really depressed about finding out I have been laid off.

Usually a good action movie works wonders. It helps take my mind off stuff for a while. But not even this has been a good cure for the no job blues.

[dajoki]

17. married with children

so silly i have to laugh:rofl:

[Democracy White]

19. I know it's going to sound weird

but the 4400 which is on tonight! yay! will get me out of it although I will probably miss it cause I'm going to be a mom's.

Also reruns of MAD TV and shows on Comedy Central

Dee

[Zuni]

20. Curb Your Enthusiasm

[nuxvomica]

22. Me too

I love the one where he's scoring weed for his dad and pays the prostitute to ride in his car so he can drive to the game in the diamond lane. :rofl:

[Zuni]

25. "I'll pull out a titty"

:spray:

I think that is my all time favorite episode

[dajoki]

43. anybody hear when it's comming back?

i think august or september, but not sure:crazy:

[peekaloo]

21. The Simpsons, Scrubs, Curb Your Enthusiasm and The Daily Show

[libnnc]

24. The Carol Burnett Show

also Absolutely Fabulous and The Vicar of Dibley.

[TK421]

26. OK, this may sound weird, but The Iron Chef cheers me up

[Ariana Celeste]

27. The Brak Show,

Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force. :7

[Neshanic]

28. On TCM a Doris Day movie with either Hudson or Garner

[snowbear]

29. I still love Sienfeld re-runs...

That show was just one of a kind.. :)

[Scout1071]

30. TDS, Reno 9/11, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Chappelle Show.

Funniest shows on TV.

[scarlet_owl]

31. Father Ted. I bought the dvd set and I watch it all the time.

[Pool Hall Ace]

32. "Roseanne", particularly the earlier episodes.

After they won the lottery, it kinda lost it's edge.

[48pan]

34. Get Smart

I love Hymie the robot.

[Lilyhoney]

36. Stupid people hurting themselves

Like the max extreme clip show where people try to do stunts on their bikes or skateboards but end up hurting themselves pretty badly. I cannot stay depressed after that.

[YankeyMCC]

39. Star Trek, Reno 911

The original Star Trek is sure fire, the other Star Trek versions, can sometimes do the trick

[Bok_Tukalo]

40. Soap

Especially the episode where the family hid Bob from Chuck and he was forced to split a grapefruit to use for his ... talent.

[southlandshari]

41. America's Funniest Home Videos

I'm such a geek.


And I'm posting here to avoid doing an important but unpleasant report for work. Maybe I need to turn on the TV for an attitude adjustment!

:hide:

[AmandaRuth]

42. Ab Fab

I don't do cable, so i get to see it very rarely. Always puts me in a great mood.

[Catchawave]

44. Sex in the City always does it for me....

...afterall, if those gorgeous wealthy ladies can be miserable too...hey, it always cheers me up :)
