Are there any other shows out there of this sort of lighthearted nature, yet made with quality writing, out there?

It feels like a lot of recent things we’ve watched has been a bit grim and/or relies on spectacle rather than telling a good story and working a few jokes in along the way … the world is on fire, I’d like to stop it and get off, if only for a few minutes at a time.

    If you want to keep the space theme going, Star Trek Lower Decks is lighthearted an fun. It probably helps if you’ve seen lots of Star Trek, but I’d say give it a shot.

    I’d also recommend Bob’s Burgers. It’s not going to give you much in terms of long term story arcs, but each episode is its own self contained story. The family in the show is just great and fits your lightheaded criteria.
