You guys. Schitt's Creek is so funny. There are already plenty of short, snackable episodes to burn through, the characters are amazing, and you don't need to pay too much attention to figure out what's going on.

4 Ali Wong: Hard Knock Wife

OK, it's technically not a TV show, but it's a TV special, and I find that stand-up comedy is great to have on in the background while doing any number of things. You don't need to look at the TV (because it's just the comedian pacing around), and you'll laugh through everything!

5 Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

First of all, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is brilliant. Easily one of my favorite shows ever. Second of all, the creative minds behind the show (including star Rachel Bloom) have written over 100 songs over the course of the past three seasons. You'll enjoy yourself AND dance through your chores.

7 Grey's Anatomy

The good news is that there are more than 300 episodes to keep you entertained. It will take you months upon months of housework to get through everything. The downside is that the drama is so intense at times, you might stop what you're doing just to see how it all pans out.

It's like Great British Baking Show, but it has a much different effect. If you feel like you're doing a sloppy job, nothing will pick you up like the epic failures of these bakers.

13 Supernatural

Supernatural has well over 300 episodes that follow a pretty consistent formula: terrible monster/demon/creature appears, Sam and Dean Winchester investigate, a life-threatening battle ensues, and sweet victory is obtained. Perfect show is perfect.

The Office is great comedy in a pretty static space, meaning you'll laugh a lot and you won't have to look at the TV too much.
