Meet the Reporter: 5 Binge Worthy TV Shows

In This Article:

So long as we're all practicing self-quarantining, odds are the bond between ourselves, our TV, and our couch are going to get a lot stronger. Knowing some good television shows can eliminate what I call "click frustration". Here are the five shows I've been binge watching that won't disappoint.

Yes, they're all over the place, and yes most are 30-minute storyline shows. I never really was a "season" television viewer, I just don't have that much time to dedicate towards one show.

If you like explosions, myths, and dudes with incredible mustaches, they you need to check out re-runs of Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage in this show. I saw an episode the other night that was testing out the age-old myth that a sneeze can travel 30 feet!

4. MLB Network

Yes, I'm working an entire network into my list because I feel like it. You all know by now how deep my love for this sport is. So, whether it's World Series game reruns, "MLB Tonight", or baseball movies all day long…sign me up!

3. Home Town

This "HGTV" show features a very cute and humorous couple (Ben and Erin Napier) who renovate homes in their own hometown, Laurel, Mississippi. They go out of their way to tell the history behind every house they renovate, which I appreciate. Fun Fact: Before I found a love for broadcasting, writing, and marketing, my dream job as a young kid was to become an interior designer.

2. Impractical Jokers

In a world filled with fear and uncertainty at this point in time, we could all use a laugh to get us through each day. That's exactly what Joe Gatto, Brian Quinn, James Murray, and Sal Vulcano give to us with this glorious show on "truTV". Hidden camera challenge shows while real life is happening around these jokesters is so gripping to me. The filmed some scenes at the Palisades Center in West Nyack, New York. I only say this because that mall is a short drive from where I grew up, and I used to go there all the time before I came out to Arizona. Cool little nugget.

1. Family Guy

Anybody shocked this is number one? It's safe to say that Seth MacFarlane is a genius for the creation of this show decades ago. The Griffin family is so relatable in certain episodes. I love the animation, the cutaways, and the young adult targeted humor. It's no surprise that whenever a tv channel has re-runs of this show on, I stop scrolling instantly.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
