Quite similar to the music question, what about films and television shows that make you happy?
I don't watch television that much but I watch the Simpsons. The Simpsons may have dwindled in quality of humour over the seasons, and this can be debateable in opinion, but when i watch it (like I am doing now) it just provides another focus on otherwise I just spiral back down to low periods. I doesn't fully take it away, just that it's something else to focus on for a short period of time.
As for films: The Lion King. I have watched this film so much that I have a deep connection to it. It was there on one of my lowest points and it's been there for me since.
LBT too is also a film that I can watch to make me feel slightly more better. However, these films only offer a short focus point.

The Land Before Time series for sure. I'd have to say House too because I really connect with the main character's quality of living. The Gummi Bears always cheered me up as a kid. Seeing Cavin and Cubby striving to be great heroes inspired me as a youngster to strive to be better. And the Care Bears just really got to me as a kid. I didn't get too much attention as a kid, so seeing those bears fully devote themselves to helping those in need was a really big pleasure to watch. I still watch that show to this day via tapes and DVDs. I think that's a good summary of what shows cheer/cheered me up.

Bolt and Skunk Fu.

Fraggle Rock, Thomas the Tank Engine for the happy nostalgia it brings back.
Sleepaway Camp series-this calms me whenever I used to have problems with bullies. (Yes, I'm twisted like that :DD )

Case Closed/Detective Conan makes me happy. So does One Piece.
As for movies, the Land Before Time movies have (usually) always brought a smile to my face...except for a few.
