Dead to me starts off as if it's going to be dark but is actually pretty lighthearted

Obscure show, but watch Traffic Light on prime.
A lot of great shows mentioned. To add to the list of upbeat the gf and I are working our way through Modern Family. The early seasons are pretty upbeat and lighthearted. I do wonder where they will end up in the later seasons as the families age.
Working Moms is something the gf watches and what I've seen had been pretty great and has some good fun shock value. I'm surprised where they go with some of the humour. Usually only animated shows get away with this.
I would add Archer but I haven't finished the last couple of seasons so I'm not sure where it ends up on the fun and outrageous scale.

I'm rewatching Castlevania from Netflix and it kinda fits your criteria.

Gilmore Girls is a classic feel good show that I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned. Its pretty campy occasionally, but sometimes that's what you need.
Also Ed.
American Dad, starting at season 2, is complete gold.
The first season is rough, since the political comedy elements aren’t quite finetuned, which makes the characters a bit annoying, and Roger doesn’t have wacky disguises yet. Season 2 onwards the show has just right right wavelength of bizarre non-sequitur humor that always makes me smile. The jokes can be dark and/or adult, or just require context to understand but I think they are great.
Poker Face
Thermae Romae Novae is novel and hilarious
Steven Universe (it's accessible to adults on a different level than kids)
Shrinking
Check out Wonderfalls. It's one of the stranger things I've seen, but quite brilliant. The Good Place reminded me of it in many ways, although they are very different shows.
Tacoma FD, Letterkenny, Shoresy, Miracle Workers, Poker Face, Resident Alien, Ghosts (US), The White Lotus, Shrinking, Ash vs Evil Dead, The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.
Can definitely plus one on letterkenny, Ash vs evil Dead is really good once you get past the first episode if you are squeamish about horror themes, and the adventures of brisco county junior is always a solid winner.
If you like sci-fi comedy and British humor I would also possibly throw Red dwarf into the pile.
