This is the answer right here. Show made me so happy I cried, regularly. Just absolutely fantastic all around.

Schitt's Creek
Oh this is a fantastic show! While I do re-watch it, I would give anything to re-watch it from "scratch" again.
Try Better Off Ted. It only ran for a season and a half but it was funny.
Extremely underrated

Taskmaster
Would I Lie to You?
Avatar The Last Airbender
Loremen podcast
Edited to add:
One Punch Man first season is hilarious.
The trifecta of 2010s animation: Regular Show, Steven Universe, and Adventure Time. There's jokes and themes in these that are pretty adult, but the darker stuff is generally avoided.
1980s: Dogtanian and the 3 Muskehounds. Mysterious Cities of Gold. Best theme tunes ever, and very easy watching.
Taskmaster and WILTY are fantastic. These are some of my favorite "I want to watch something that I'll enjoy but don't need to actually care too much about" shows.
Bluey pretends to be for kids but it's surely for adults.
It's so funny. Bandit is the best. I haven't dentified with a cartoon dog so strongly since Mr. Peanutbutter.

My Name Is Earl is my favorite go-to light-hearted and positive sitcom. Follows the story of a rather silly, ignorant redneck that begins to believe in karma, and so writes a list everyone he has ever wronged and goes about fixing it one by one.
It's pretty good.

I highly recommend Bob's burgers!
I love sitcoms but beneath their light exterior they always have a heart of darkness, or at least a trace of one. But given your OP, I figure you can handle a teensy bit of a shadow side. Here are some generally upbeat shows with lots of laughs.
Catastrophe- I think it strikes the right balance of optimism in the face of doubt. It's light but not saccharine. It's my favorite sitcom.
It Crowd
Black Books
30 Rock
Black-ish
Adventure Time
Mentioned in lots of other replies:
Parks and Rec
New Girl (extremely underrated)
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Brooklyn 99
Taskmaster
WILTY

Bob's Burgers.
Ted Lasso for the win
Schitt's Creek (was already mentioned but is worth mentioning again
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Superstore
Derry Girls
Wellmania (sadly Netflix did a Netflix and discontinued another great show after only one season)
Or just rewatch The Office or Parks & Recreation once again 😄

Community! If you like The Good Place you'll love it. It's my favorite show of all time
Star Trek the next generation
Brooklyn nine nine
One piece
Our Flag Means Death is upbeat in the first season. The second is more dramatic, but also fucking phenomenal. A romantic adventure comedy becomes a romantic adventure dramedy.

I love "the good place". It's light comedy, it actually makes you think a little, it's a lot of feel good and it's one of those shows where you can see that everyone is having a blast making it.
Edit: I should finish reading the post before commenting, lol.
Here's a weird suggestion, watch all Mr. Bean shows. It's like one season and few episodes.

Agree about Parks & Rec and Black Books
Adding Boston Legal
Letterkenny and Shorsey if not Archer. Trailer Park boys
British panel (game) shows like Would I Lie to You and 8 out or 10 Cats Does Countdown. The game element is just an excuse for funny, interesting people to crack jokes and have a good time.

If you love "the good place", then I can only recommend "parks and recreation". That is my all-time favorite show
Also recently I have started watching "Chuck". It's a action/comedy/spy series, there is ofcource action, guns and bombs. But Iam laughing so much each episode, I find myself rewatching some scenes.
Pushing Daisies. If you like death mixed with comic book sweetness
Happy Endings
Cougar Town
Community
Derry Girls
Parks and Rec
I don't think there is a more light-hearted show than Detectorists
Eureka is kind of a disaster of the week pseudoscience problem show with a lot of heart. Don't go looking for true scifi, but it's so damn charming and the cast has exceptional chemistry.

Not adult, but The Owl House was a surprisingly good one. One of those multi-audience shows. Makes me think a lot of about the type of parent I want to be someday!
Schitt’s Creek and Letterkenny deserve some spots here
Close Enough is a really great animated tv show by the creator of Regular Show. It's basically almost the same, but for adults.
