Psych
Light-hearted and fun; Psych is your typical crime show with a twist. Shawn is not law enforcement but has a knack for solving crimes due to his keen observation skills. After calling in a few too many anonymous tips from watching unsolved crime reports on his local news channel, he becomes a prime suspect in a case from "knowing too much" to not have been the one to do it! The only way to get out of it? Convince the police he psychically divined the information and WOW them with more of his "abilities." He and his best friend since childhood become consultants for the police department and the show follows just how far a he can take this...fib.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Teenage Buffy just wants to live a normal life. But as fate would have it, she has been chosen to be "The Slayer." I think the whole attitude of the relationship between her "Watcher" (a mentor/researcher/combat-trainer/baddie-context-giver) sums up how delightfully mid-90s teen the show is:
Giles: "To each generation, a slayer is born. One girl in all the world, a chosen one. One born with the..."
Buffy: "The strength and skill to hunt the vampires, to stop the spread of their evil, blah, blah, blah. I've heard it, okay."
Tons of witty-quips and teenage-angst to be had as it takes place in the High-School years for Buffy and her friends; truely a "coming of age" show.

Star Wars
Ok, normally when someone says they're watching Star Wars...I'm sure they mean...a movie or...6...or something. But recently I got access to Disney+ through our phone service provider and was casually browsing the site (as someone who never had Disney+ before) and found an "in timeline order" option for viewing ALL of the Star Wars shows/movies.
Let me tell you—I've watched things like "Andor" before and been a little lost as to the importance of certain characters/events in the Star Wars universe.
BUT watching the entirety of the catalog IN timeline order? Hey! I ACTUALLY know who Mon Mothma is all the times she pops in on certain shows.
So, if you ever undergo this endeavor, I HIGHLY recommend the "in timeline order" feature.

Jackie Chan Adventures
Actor Jackie Chan voices himself in this whimsical action-packed Animated adventure.
As an Archaeologist and martial artist, Jackie gets picked up by a secret crime-fighting agency after becoming a target of the Black Hand because their common interest in acquiring ancient artifacts. The Agency believes that the Black Hand is a simple crime syndicate (looking to sell the artifacts for profit), but what they don’t know (or believe) is the artifacts Jackie often seeks to bring back to his Uncle's antique shop for study are mystical in nature and the Dark Hand is motivated by evil forces trying their best to repossess them from Jackie for nefarious (think—world domination) purposes. Jackie's uncle (referred to as "Uncle") is a Chi master and supports Jackie in his battles through research, performing of spells, and a stern hand, while Jade (his young niece visiting from Asia) pops in on Jackie’s dangerous adventures as a rebellious thrill-seeker who often makes the most unsuspecting of allies to support her uncle-Jackie's missions.
The show is great lighthearted and fun. With plenty of laughter to be had as Jackie faces many “bad day” moments but turns each unfortunate accident into a successful mission.

Sabrina The Teenage Witch
Lighthearted fun.
Easy to watch/listen to when getting work done;
Sabrina The Teenage Witch is a coming-of-age show with a magical twist.
Sabrina and their family cat spent her childhood raised by two aunts. On her 16th birthday, she discovers she's actually a half-witch with much to learn about magic, and their cat—Salem—can speak (as he's actually a wizard sentenced to 100 years without magic as a cat for his former plans of world domination)!
The show follows her journey through the typical struggles of teenage years in an American High School setting—what is the importance of popularity? How do you balance life, academics, and love interests?—but with the added pressures of fixing when both spells made with good intentions and subconscious spells often go gone awry.
