Meet the Reporter: 5 Binge Worthy TV Shows

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!

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.

At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
