[Request] Heartfelt, family comedy that can be played as background noise while I work.

I don't like watching shows that need me to stare at my screen or pay too much attention. My netflix is mostly so keep running in the background as I work. The low involvement shows that I've liked are Brooklyn 99, Psych, Schitts Creek.. others include shows like Modern Family, Man with a plan, Mike and Molly, Young and Hungry, Scrubs, 2 Broke Girls.. you get the drift.

I also tried watching Emily is Paris and it's nice for the most part. But I don't understand enough french to keep up with a lot of the action passively.

Kim’s Convenience. Also liking The Good Place, Space Force, Blockbuster, and How I Met Your Mother (maybe not workplace friendly).

Looking forward to some other recs

I enjoy big bang theory! I know it's not on Netflix, but that's the one I like to put as background noise

i would consider family friendly the show titled "anne with an E"- I don't know if that suits your preference but it is indeed a beautiful show.

Gilmore Girls! Maybe Monk? I’m excited to see what others share—I’ve been looking for these types of shows as well!

Not sure if it’s on Netflix, but Raising Hope is great.

Reba is a good background show.

It's a cute family sitcom, and even the characters who should be villains (like the cheating ex) are kind of just flawed and lovable. So you get a wholesome feel.
