#’Nailed It,’ ‘The Great British Bake Off’ and More Escapist, Feel-Good Competition Shows

Sometimes, viewers turn to television to be titillated, provoked, or educated. Other times, they just want to watch people who can barely fry an egg struggle to replicate a professional baker’s cake.

In the vein of lighter fare, just look at ABC’s recent debut of a new dog grooming competition, Pooch Perfect, hosted by Rebel Wilson (on March 30) and Netflix’s latest in Nailed It!, Double Trouble, with Nicole Byer (on March 26).
