Top 10 Feel-Good Shows to Watch When You're Feeling Stressed

No matter how much we try to avoid it, sometimes we just can’t help but feel pressured or overwhelmed. And sometimes, we need a moment to tune out things that cause us stress.

Check out these feel-good comedies you should add to your ‘happy shows’ list:

Made up of characters with very diverse backgrounds, political perspectives, and socio-economic circumstances, 30 Rock is packed with hilarious, cynical episodes.
