TV shows where people are mannerly and kind

Virgin River on Netflix. Super cheesy, but makes you feel really good as out people.

As for TV,

Family Ties
Our House
Cosby Show (if you can get past it).
Full House/Fuller House
Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist

and, of course

The Golden Girls

And maybe

Facts of Life.

Golden Girls is a great suggestion

Avonlea, also known as Road to Avonlea? Not sure where you would find it now. It's old but so are a bunch of other recommendations.

Seriously? Rory is one of the most entitled, stuck-up brats on TV in my opinion, especially in the later seasons. Lorelai isn't exactly a peach either. She uses men left and right.

Oh, pipe down. It's a lovely series. It's not Hallmark, but it's not the trash of so much stuff that's on tv now. Shows need a someone doing bad acts so that another character can be shown to be doing the right thing.

I agree. Gilmore girls is one of my all time favorite shows.

I've been watching Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, and it's wonderful. Just what you're looking for, OP. It's also a visual feast. Very uplifting and just the thing to watch in these times.

Also, Jane the Virgin. I've always said that it's a clinic in healthy relationships. As a telenovela there is a certain absurdity to the plots, but the human interactions and relationships are so honest and authentic that it packs an extra emotional punch. In a good way. It's also a visual treat. Both of these shows have wonderful color in the sets, clothes, etc., that just make them really fun to watch.

The Great British Baking Show always makes me feel better about humanity. The people are so consistently kind and supportive. It's definitely a feel good show for me.

Think Downton Abbey, This is Us, etc. Of course there are villains and drama but just looking for shows where people treat each other right. It sounds cheesy but they uplift me and actually teach me good manners. Any other suggestions for other shows in this vein? Thanks!

Perfect Harmony - the main character is a curmudgeon, but the show is all about kindness and community spirit.
Kim's Convenience - there's a fair amount of snark, but the ultimate love and kindness between the family members and beyond is good.

The Little Couple.

One Day at a Time (the remake). Such a feel-good show!

Also Jane the Virgin.

If you like This is Us, Parenthood.

Was just coming on here to say this. That and Call the Midwife always comfort me.
