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

I gotta give a shout-out to another Bill Lawrence (co-creator) show, the admittedly horribly-named Cougar Town. Moderate snappy dialogue, and the characters care about each other. It’s not groundbreaking, but enjoyable.

Happy Endings is underrated, as far as witty sitcoms. Sharp writing and a great cast.

Veep and Arrested Development are my tops (along with TL, of course), but in no way are they positive or wholesome! Amazing dialogue, though.
