Default Top 5 "comfort" shows

These are the shows you've seen dozens of times and you still love them just as much. They make you feel cozy and comfortable like a warm blanket on a cold day. Below are my top 5. I'd love to see the shows that make everyone feel "comfort".

1. Mama's Family
2. The Golden Girls
3. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
4. The Torkelsons
5. Murder, She Wrote

Honorable mentions that ALMOST made the top 5: (in no particular order)
Unsolved Mysteries
I Love Lucy
Petticoat Junction
Designing Women
Three's Company
The Andy Griffith Show
Family Matters
In the Heat of the Night
