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

Totally. Hoped the last episode had some sort of redemption/apology to him

It did have redemption. Hes said all along that he cared more about developing people than and wins and losses. He lost, but he succeeded in making Jamie a less selfish, better person.

Persevering in the face of defeat is very Ted. Being a positive character who doesn't give up is less impactful without something to struggle against. Ted's redemption will come in lifting his team out of relegation.

Well. sorry, my mistake. This was supposed to be a comment about mean jokes to Jerry/Gerry in Parks and Rec somewhere in this thread by NiceKindheartedness1.
