Hope is the motto of the sprawling Charming family, and it drives them to make all the heroic decisions they make to protect each other and their kingdom (or Storybrooke, Maine.)

Pushing Daisies
Although the premise is a bit sad a couple in love that can never touch each other thanks to the mans power to bring people back from the dead the show is as sweet as cherry pie. Its bright and happy and constantly surprising. The aesthetic alone will lift your spirits.

Its a madcap, ridiculous adventure every episode with Shawn and Gus. Their parody episodes are on point, and they even have a musical. Even with all the crime solving, its a shockingly cheerful option.
