Comfort Shows
These are shows that I will continue to rewatch multiple times. I watch them when I'm sick with a cold, when I've had a bad day, when I'm sad or scared. They are my ultimate comfort shows.
I think I love this show so much because Doug reminds me of my husband. It's so relatable to married couples.
The King of Queens
My husband and I would watch this show about lovable nerds all the time with his parents and grandfather. It always makes me smile whenever I watch it.
The Big Bang Theory
I've gone through this series three times so far. I want to live in the town of Stars Hollow. This show inspired me to want to write small town romance novels.
Gilmore Girls
This show made us fall in love with Zackary Levi who plays an average guy who gets CIA secrets downloaded into his brain when he opens an email from his estranged college roommate.
Chuck
Michael Weston is a burned spy who does his best to help other people get out of trouble while he works on trying to get his job back. Something about his cool calm narration while he's explaining something like close quarters combat or disarming a b...
Burn Notice
I grew up in a home where there was a lot of yelling and screaming. This show always comforted me and made me feel better. It still does.

My favorite TV series that ended much too soon with only one season.
My husband and I binged watched this show in one day. It's the story of four paper girls from 1988 who accidently travel forward in time and meet their future selves. There's not much I love more than a good time travel story! I'm definitely going to...
Paper Girls - Season 1
Pan Am was a series about four stewardesses in the 1960s. It has a fantastic cast and great storylines. One involves a stewardess becoming a spy. I loved everything about this show.
Pan Am, Season 1
This was a great show that had unknown actors who would later become very well known. It centered around Lindsey and her brother Sam Weir who are doing their best to navigate their way through highschool in the 1980s. I've never seen a show since thi...
Freaks and Geeks
Bunheads has the same creator as Gilmore Girls and has much of the same small town charm. Many of the Gilmore Girls actors are in Bunheads.
Bunheads Season 1
My Favorite Childhood Shows
This was the first paranormal show for kids I ever saw and I was hooked. It's about a girl named Fiona who travels the country with her brother and rock star mom. She finds something paranormal in every town she visits such as aliens, ghost, bigfoot ...
So Weird
There are different versions of this franchise but my favorite was the Land of the Lost that came on Saturday mornings in the 1990s. It's about a dad and his two kids that fall into some sort of wormhole on their way to a camping trip and end up in p...Frndly.tv.
How to watch and stream Land of the Lost - 1991-2023 on Roku
I remember this show came on at the end of SNICK on Saturday nights. It was about a group of kids called the midnight society who gathered together in the woods to tell scary stories. I don't like the newer seasons as much because they're too scary f...

Some of these shows might have come out a while ago but they're new to me
I can honestly say this is one of the best shows I've ever seen. If you enjoy time travel stories, this is a must watch. The characters and the story lines are amazing. I even learned things about history that I never knew before like the Lone Ranger...
