My old "grab my pipe, hit the recliner, and put on an episode or three of ________" , used to be The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes from 1954, due to all the pipe-smoking; and also, Dark Shadows from the 1966 B&W-era, due to the overall sedate and meditative creepiness which seemed to match the cadence of my puffing, quite nicely.
Lately however, I have really been enjoying The Invaders - a Quinn Martin Production - from 1966-1968, while doing my after-dinner Pipe Smoking Me-Time Therapy. The show's pace has a cerebral, meditative quality - while fraught with a wonderfully paranoid atmosphere - which to me, also is conducive to enjoyable pipe smoking in a relaxed and thoughtful manner. For those who have never seen the show, I recommend the premier/pilot episode: Beachhead ; if you'd like to try a test-fit.
