Oldies:

Little House On The Prairie: Prime Video

Based on the ever-popular series by Laura Ingalls Wilder, this 1970s television series is an absolute must-watch.

Gilmore Girls: Netflix 

The fast-talking, coffee-loving Gilmore ladies are always a good watch. If you didn’t catch this series the first time when it aired from 2000-2006 (or if you’ve still managed not to catch at least a few episodes since it debuted on Netflix in 2014), now’s the time to grab your mom and hunker down for a Netflix binge that will leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.

Dawson’s Creek: Hulu

Dawson’s Creek may not fit the “warm and fuzzy, family-oriented” TV show mold that most of the shows on this list fit, but it’s still a feel-good show. It follows all the ups and downs of a tight-knit friend group in the late 90s and early 2000s and each episode is guaranteed to leave you wanting more of Dawson, Joey, Pacey, and Jen. 

I Love Lucy: Hulu

Taking it all the way back to the 1950s is I Love Lucy, a show starring Lucille Ball and her real-life husband Desi Arnaz. It’s romantic, sweet, and usually very goofy. If you’ve never watched an episode, hop on Hulu ASAP and stream all 180 episodes of this feel-good oldie.
