More than half of America wants ‘comfort’ TV and movies: poll
“Abbott Elementary” or the employees of “The Office” get into shenanigans as a way to alleviate anxiety.Further, 56% of participants said they turn to “comfort shows” that they watch regularly, sometimes up to 18 times when they feel bored or stressed out. And, oddly enough, nearly twice as many people from the Northeast do this than in the West, so maybe the fast pace of life in New York is causing more people to turn to “The Bachelor” or “Bridgerton.”But, just what kinds of shows are people tuning into in order to de-stress? Like everything else, it depends on the generation.
