Light-Hearted Television

I've always been a big fan of suspense and mystery in television, movies, and books. A well-written, well-acted drama is something I enjoy as well. Lately, however, I need something light.
I've been having so much anxiety, so many worries, so much negative on my mind. When I wish to escape for a bit with a television show, I just want to laugh or at least smile.
I recently watched the very light television show, Hart of Dixie. This isn't something I would have chosen, but it was recommended to me. So i decided to give it a shot. I ended up really enjoying it. It was basically a dramedy about relationships, teenage angst, but all grown up angst in its place. When it ended, I was sad to say goodbye.
Again, I have started a show that I wouldn't have chosen otherwise based on a recommendation called, "Last Man Standing." It's not a great show, but it's enjoyable. I smile and I laugh. And that's pretty much what I need right now.
If you know of any light-hearted shows available on Netflix, please let me know!

@jillybean1222 We have a free TV box with the major Swiss programs with our Internet connection. Those with no Internet can have the same with their telephone. We watch very little TV, only in the evening before going to bed and usually a movie. People are not really TV addicted here. When the nice season arrives we are all outside chatting with friends or playing in the garden.

Can't think of a thing, and we really need more comedy on Netflix and elsewhere.

How about The Paradise ? It's a BBC period series about a department store. I'm just starting it. It was a recommendation for some clean, uplifting shows.

When I wanted something to laugh about I would get onto to the 80s sitcoms. They somehow made me feel good. Recently I enjoyed 2 broke girls and I know this ones old but ugly Betty caught my interest as well.
