I basically already do it with Futurama, to the great confusion of everyone around me.
Shut up and take my money!

Star Trek: TNG
“Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra”
Wouldn't change much honestly.
Yeah, I was going to cheat and go with “the entire Star Trek franchise”
And… I pretty much already speak entirely in Star Trek quotes.

"The Good Place" - you bet your fudging life!
Holy shirt balls!
Shaka when the walls fell
That's how you speak isn't it, through metaphor
This broke my brain when I watched again, because I constantly use star trek, wars, Simpsons, Seinfeld, and so many other references to explain how I'm feeling.
Unfortunately no one else watches them.
It's ok, we understand here. This is your safe space. If we're going to be damned, let's be damned for what we really are.
Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia, it would be an easy transition
Arrested development! Not sure it would change my daily interactions.
I've made a huge mistake
Pulp Fiction. I can still say useful everyday phrases like "Well, let's not start sucking each other's dicks quite yet."

Community. Won't chang my interactions that much.
Community
EDIT: changing my answer to Taskmaster, if only so I can still say "all the information's on the task"
Also: stopcockstopcock stop. Cock. Stopcock
Very handy and widely applicable.
Though you’d lose the equally useful “pop pop”.

South Park - not much would change since it would be only a slight increase in the number of f bombs I use.
Brooklyn nine-nine “Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. No doubt, no doubt, no doubt.”
I take "Yes, Minister" together with it's follow-up "Yes, Prime Minister". It's old, yes, and British, but I've yet to see a series with more memorable quotes.

Trailer park boys. Way she goes boys
Schitt's Creek. Half my online conversations are already gifs from the show.
what up my glipglops
ol Rick n morty should cover all my wubalubadub dub.
Venture Brothers, probably. I already quote it too much. Hot dolphin!
Anything can be made from these quotes.
"30 Rock" No interaction I've ever had would be different...
Local station news program. I suspect that would cover the most broadly applicable things that you'll need to deal with. Aside from local place names you'll still be able to talk about national and international news, finance/taxes, medical situations, weather, sports and entertainment, food... You'd have decades worth of back catalog to access from. You'd probably be wanting for specifics on some super niche hobbies, but it's hard to think of much that you'd be missing entirely from your available phrases.
Deadwood would make my life interesting
Firefly. Using gorramitt, shiny, "I'm shocked my own self", and "big damn hero" on the regs would be right some good.

My favorite show, Psych. My daily interactions will allow for lots of pineapples.
probably like general hospital since it has so many episodes you would likely be able to speak anything.
The Office, basically it wouldn’t change anything because I already speak in mostly deep cut quotes and references from the show.
Letterkenny, give your balls a tug!
I Think You Should Leave.
"Hey, nice shirt Kolanaki."
"Thanks. It was $450 dollars because the pattern is so complicated."

HAIL ZORP
Get organized and then engage with Zorp. What else is there to say?
Red Dwarf is an interesting thought here.
