I am someone who always enjoys having something on in the background, helping me focus.

I love me some Andor, GoT, a lot of newer stuff that is made with really high production quality - but I sit down to watch those.

What shows do you watch that just sit running in the background, ones that aren’t going to win any Emmys but you just enjoy?

For me my last two are Home Improvement and Everybody Loves Raymond. Both were fine in their heyday, but now they are noise filler. Not terrible, not great. So what are yours?

    it’s not as good as I remembered, and not as bad as I feared. I thought it’d be a very mysoginistic view of a 90s home, and it kind of is, but not a crazy amount. Starts that way, Jill is a stay at home mom, 3 kids, house, dad is the provider, but the show tackles a good chunk of that. Jill wants to get her masters, wants to move out of the house. Tim has to come to terms with it. They tackle rebelling kids, differing views, idk, it’s not as bad as I expected it to be.

    It’s not up to par with today, but I don’t think it’s bad either. So yeah, good filler
