What is your Favourite TV show (live-action or animated) of all time?

Psych. A cliche “murder mystery of the week” show has no business being as wholesome, kind, friendly, and upbeat as Psych. I realized a few years ago when I was going through some personal issues and had started rewatching Psych that it was helping me deal with the stress, and it wasn’t the first time I’ve done that with the show.
Maybe a year ago I went to Psych’s first convention near Chicago. It was both surprising and reassuring to hear other fans go up to ask the actors questions and they all shared similar stories to me. People have used to show to help them briefly escape from challenging situations from dealing with the death of loved ones all the way to someone using it as background TV while trying to study in medical school.
One of the few things I miss from Reddit is the active Psych subreddit over there.
Also, the 80’s references are fantastic.
- I find it interesting how many people I've seen on Reddit (just started using Lemmy) say psych. It's not my favorite, but clearly there's a very positive sentiment.

Star trek the next generation and deep space nine Battlestar Galactica The Orville
Yes, I'm a sci-fi nerd
Also "the good place", it's awesome
- Have you watched the Expanse? I highly recommend it.

It's always sunny in Philadelphia
Malcolm in the middle
Community
- Oh I forgot Malcom in the Middle. +1 to that.

Bob's Burgers hands down. It's just constantly showcases the wholesomeness I want to see in the world.
It shows a constantly imperfect world, and family, friends, and community standing together to survive it.
I could write a thesis, but I'm crying thinking about that Christmas episode now, you know the one.
- "You love your family."

Easily Star Trek: The Next Generation. It's mystery, sci-fi, action, drama, and period pieces (holo deck episodes). It has a bit of everything. Plus it's a hopeful vision of the future.

Ghost In The Shell, Haibane Renmei, and Gurren Lagann share the #1 spot for animated
Psych takes 1st place for live action

Fringe. Love that shit, watched the whole thing 10x.
- Fringe is so underrated.
  …Have you seen Severance? It feels more condensed, and I am loving it so far.

Stargate (sg1 and Atlantis)
- SG1 represent. A lot of people say it's old and campy, but I love it so much
- There are many great shows that could take the nr 1 spot but SG-1 just has a special place in my heart. At least up to 8th season.

I've seen Archer far too many times. Funniest animated I've ever seen and I kinda want to watch it again. Gotta stop when the writers change at s10 tho.
Patriot is an amazing TV show that I've seen three times. It's a thriller, I guess. Quite funny but they play it straught. Reminds me of Fargo.
Edit because how on earth did I not mention True Detective season 1.
These three shows I will definitely watch again when I get time. Amazing attention to detail in each of them.

How I met your mother. It never fails to entertain me.
- I always want to rewatch HIMYM because I do remember enjoying it but I get one or two episodes in and I loose the taste for it because of how bad it ended. Really only one of a few shows truely ruined by the ending.
  
  Along with Game of Thrones, of course
