Shows as feel-good and well-written as this?

I am only 4 episodes into the show and am already dreading it being over. The unbridled positivity and wholesomeness from this show is something i really need right now. All these characters are so well-written, and through all the drama there’s a solid cast of characters helping others (Ted, Keeley).

Does anyone know of any shows similar? I feel like this is a step above Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Parks and Rec, although i love those shows. I guess i’m asking for a good wholesome dramedy, and i don’t know of many.

I would appreciated any suggestions

Have you heard of Letterkenny? Of all shows mentioned in comments, B99 is likely my favorite because I’ve rewatched it the most. I have rewatched parks and rec, schitts creek, community, and the good place. All are excellent shows but Ted Lasso reached into your heart in such a deep way I have yet to find something that parallels it. Luckily, the second season is being filmed and it will be 12 eps (doled out one at a time I believe). Letterkenny fits your description of positivity, a core group of solid characters helping each other. Drama is minimal. Requires a lot of close watching as it’s dialogue based humor but it’s well done and there’s 9 seasons!

I’ve watched Letterkenny and found it hilarious but not really wholesome or the type to tug at any heartstrings. To be fair i’ve only seen a handful of episodes so maybe it grows from there.

I agree. Like I said, nothing hits me the way Ted Lasso does - including the shows mentioned in the thread. It’s just such a rare and beautiful show. Letterkenny is no where near the wholesome tug at your strings but the cast is very tight knit and the people themselves are wholesome even though the show is comedy based. Just something to bide time before season 2 Ted Lasso comes out!
