Are there any other shows out there of this sort of lighthearted nature, yet made with quality writing, out there?

It feels like a lot of recent things we've watched has been a bit grim and/or relies on spectacle rather than telling a good story and working a few jokes in along the way ... the world is on fire, I'd like to stop it and get off, if only for a few minutes at a time.

You might want to have a look at Firefly. It’s a bit odd and a mix of serious and lighthearted and sometimes downright goofy (the hero of canton 🎵), which makes it one of my absolute favorites. Please just watch it in the dvd release order, they seriously messed it up on tv.

this and lord of the rings sit in a special place on my shelf on their own in a show off type of way.
