Lots of good suggestions so far, but not seen The Great mentioned. Filthy AF and one of the few shows I laugh out loud to (well, more like cackle loudly). I'll also second the suggestion for Better Off Ted.
'Ghosts' on CBS/Paramount+ is sweet, funny, lighthearted for the subject matter, and overall very enjoyable. I don't think it will win any awards, but its a great alternative to all the dark and cynical stuff out there!
Also try to catch the British iteration, after the first episode it's an entirely different show!
Close Enough is a really great animated tv show by the creator of Regular Show. It's basically almost the same, but for adults.
Also, Workaholics
Recently I watched and enjoyed Parks and Recreation and One Day at a Time (netflix series). Light hearted engaging content. Another recommendation: Schitt's Creek.
The Great North, if you want to watch a fun and wholesome cartoon.
It is cancelled now, but Last Man on Earth is such a great show.
I found it really hard to get into. If I had something else I wanted to watch I wouldn't have started season 2. By the time it ended I was hoping for just one more season.
Close Enough.
Letterkenny
Bee and puppycat
It's only one season, but Wonderfalls. It's pure joy. And all the episodes are on Youtube.
Trailerpark Boys
Community Great British Baking Challege (in US, it's Bake-off everywhere else) Brooklyn Nine Nine Thirty Rock And seriously, The Golden Girls
I'd highly recommend Avenue 5.
Doc Martin
Obscure show, but watch Traffic Light on prime.
Dead to me starts off as if it's going to be dark but is actually pretty lighthearted
Gilmore Girls is a classic feel good show that I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned. Its pretty campy occasionally, but sometimes that's what you need.
Also Ed.
Broad City is pretty light-hearted
Steven Universe (it's accessible to adults on a different level than kids)
Just started watching Deadbeat, doesn't take itself seriously and I'm laughing most of the time. Easy watching.
