highly recommend Girlfriends (think it’s still on Netflix!)
if you like old stuff, The Golden Girls and Designing Women

If you’re looking for something like sex and the city/coming of age but lighthearted, HBO girls or broad city.
I’m rewatching VEEP rn which is a funnier version of Parks & Rec, but would also recommend Arrested Development and Community if you’re looking for something witty (assuming you’ve prob seen these though if you watch a lot of TV)
When in doubt I just binge old law and order SVU and it gives me my mindless mystery show fix

My friend and I watch SATC and High Fidelity (2020) whenever we want to feel better about our romantic (and just general life choices).
If you like the world of Gilmore Girls, Freaks and Geeks is so comfortable to sit in. The characters feel like how real high schoolers (I dated a guy in high school a lot like Nick from this show and we all have, I think). The costuming and soundtrack is great, the midwestern vibes are comforting, and the acting is surprisingly raw and realistic for being a comedy series. Martin Starr has genius comedic timing.
Dollface is kind of a hidden gem! Kat Dennings is a gemini queen and she creates a really lush and intricate imaginary world in this show.
Community is perfect for pop culture nerds- the first season is like a lot of sitcom shows in that it takes a bit for them to hit their stride and find their audience. It does not use the mockumentary style like Parks & Rec and The Office, which gives the show more permission to be weird and far-away from reality.

Brady Bunch!
Tough to think of something outside of Parks & Rec, office, Seinfeld, friends, 30 rock, Gilmore girls stuff.
Not as lighthearted but I found fun could be pen15, Vampire Diaries, Pretty Little Liars, TheFosters, Good Trouble
Terrible but maybe fun could be Dawson’s Creek, 7th Heaven, 90210, Melrose Place
Since you like Psych, there’s White Collar andSuits, too
Bon appetit

at least casually. don’t delete the accounts but don’t have the apps on your phone either.
rediscover your love of reading thru the magic of recognizing titles strangers are holding on the subway. become a subway reader.
don’t use sound as an escape from your thoughts/feelings/surroundings. grocery shopping without headphones is actually kind of beautiful!
pick up a new hobby or two or three. one of them should be something you’re not good at, and at least one should be no- or low-cost.
never. stop. learning. the library, the parks and rec department, and nearby museums offer great materials already but also usually have free lectures or courses.
go outside more. like, a lot more.
(took this much less literally, so apologies if it’s not what you’re looking for lol — as a narcoleptic I have no tips on how to Not Sleep since Sleep is basically my job)

keeps it funky, keeps it fresh! a book for outside, a book for downstairs, a book for bed, a book for the subway, a book for the bathtub…..
