So I like to fall asleep to tv shows on DVD. However, I do so without the benefit of any pictures. I have preferred comedies, as my brain is shutting down so holding the thrust of a dramatic narrative is too much. So far I have had good success with Seinfeld and Rocky and Bullwinkle, but not as much success with the Cosby show (which I was surprised about as you don't think of there being sight gags, but there are more then you'd expect) and Arrested Development (which was OK, but I would never have liked it, if I didn't already know what so many of the sight gags were). I am looking for a new TV shows which might work well.

One other thing, I have tried standup comedians and found that I really don't like it. I've tried several different people and for whatever reason, I prefer TV shows.

David Letterman always puts me to sleep.

My wife and I generally leave the Dilbert animated series on, but we've seen each episode several times, so we pretty much know them by heart. Rocky and Bullwinkle was a great pick, by the way. We listened to that one for a few weeks, too.

Falling asleep to Rocky & Bullwinkle? I can't imagine those voiced being conducive to sleeping.

I work with kids all day long. Shrill voices aren't off putting to me in the least.

Married with Children puts my wife to sleep pretty quickly.
