I am trying to find more shows and movies where the objective is to become a better (morality-wise) person. Those are the only types of shows that give me the feels anymore.
My Name is Earl
Groundhog Day
The Muppet's Christmas Carrol
Those all all Ive got. Would prefer comedies (non animated) but any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
Shameless self bump

The Family Man (One of my favorite Christmas movies)
Liar Liar
Big Daddy
What Women Want
The Gambler (Mark Wahlberg version)
Hope this helps friend
Stop your search right now, these are usually twisted moralities inserted into a show to bend your morals to cater to the writer.
It is a ploy to use a show to vomit half-baked philosophy down your throat.
In your very example My Name Is Earl, he is a shameless cuckold who, well, that's almost his whole personality, he's a fucking cuckold and that's the show.
Is that the kind of self improvement you're shooting for?

No, Shameless is not what I would call a moral show.

its always sunny in philadelphia... wonderful citizens, doing amazing selfless deeds for the community.

You mean a black and white "make it easy for me" spoonfed morality?
>>64048097
It's not about following the morality of the show to the letter bro, it's about inspiring soul searching in your own life

Did you tip your fedora when you typed that?

I like to watch characters try. Morality, virtue, selflessness, love etc. etc. Are universal concepts understood by all.
I don't like the Earl character in the show. I would never want to be like him or ever have a beer with the dude (Earl not Jason Lee). However there are little bits that do actually inspire.
I'm not looking for self improvement. I just like shows that glorifies the higher traits of our nature instead of the worst (violence, lust, greed).
anyone else?

It's A Christmas Carol with Bill Murray as Scrooge. Appropriate for the season and very much what you're looking for.

How can I suspend my belief and watch a show about a man trying to become a better person when the entire cast of My Name is Earl is a bunch of Xenu loving scientologists?
