Good luck with summer classes, everybody!
Lucille Ball is a comedy star! Her show about living life as the wife of famous Ricky Ricardo, played by her husband in real life Desi Arnaz, will for sure have you laughing. From the infamous chocolate factory scene to her schemes with neighbor Ethel Mertz, "I Love Lucy" is a classic that will bring at least a smile to your face.
This was a favorite of mine growing up. The hilarious situations that Jeanie gets her master, Tony, into are absolutely amazing. I loved the magic to it and the humorous characters, Dr. Bellows, Roger Heley, and Tony Nelson, who all work at NASA.
Jeannie seems to continuously make small mistakes that cause Tony all kinds of trouble, usually witnessed by Dr. Bellows, a psychiatrist, who is starting to believe either Tony or himself is going mad.
This show is a sure fire way to make me laugh. It follows seven characters who went on a 3 hour tour and find themselves shipwrecked on an uncharted island. It's amazing some of the ideas they're able to come up with as they try to survive and get off the island.
I'm sure almost everyone has heard of this one because of it's popularity. It's a really sweet and often comedic show about the shenanigans of a large family of 8, not including Alice the housekeeper. The show is definitely worth a watch, it's much better than the movie.
"Leave it to Beaver" wasn't my ALL TIME favorite show to watch growing up, but now that I'm older and watch the occasional episode, I find it a lot more funny. It follows the mishaps of young Theodore, nicknamed Beaver because his older brother couldn't pronounce his name correctly when he was younger.
Some of the situations Beaver and his friends get into are quite funny and will have you cringing to think how much trouble he's causing.
This one I can say was one of my ALL TIME favorites. It might be the reason I love Harry Potter so much, I guess you could say I've always been really into the idea that magic exists. However, "Bewitched" is really nothing like Harry Potter.
It follows housewife, Samantha, who is a witch married to a mortal man, Darrin. Her family is against the idea and causes her and her husband into all sorts of havoc that she naturally has to sort out by using her powers, that she promised to keep to a minimum.
Once again, the movie is nothing like the show, apart from a witch wanting to live in the mortal world.
This show is very humorous as it follows a city couple who move to the country and find it is nothing what they thought it would be. It being the husband's idea he adjusts better to the life, but his wife has some difficulties leaving her spoiled city life behind.
Some of the things they go through, like climbing a telephone pole to make and receive phone calls or babysitting their neighbor's pet pig, is absolutely laughable.
Starring a young Michael J Fox, this show is a charming and funny show for the family. Its a story of two previously hippie parents who still support their beliefs, with a son who's hero is Richard Nixon, a stereotypical teenage girl, and their youngest daughter who is the complete opposite of her sister.
It's a feel-good show that teaches some of the best life lessons.
For anyone who loves cheesy romantic-comedy chick flicks, this is the show for you. With a bunch of different guest stars and a new love story(ies) every episode, this classic is one you need to check out!
Starring, you guessed it, Andy Griffith, as well as a young Ronnie Howard, and the famously hilarious comedian Don Knotts whats not to like about this show?? Some of the situations this sheriff, but mostly deputy, of the small town of Mayberry, get themselves into is hilarious.
It's got some great morals to each episode, but the comedy is more prominent.
This show is.. well, golden! Betty White in herself is golden, but her and her three costars in this show are absolutely amazing! Every episode will have you laughing or crying, or both!
Another show yet again named after the main star because, well, who doesn't know who Dick Van Dyke is. If you don't watch this show! And Mary Poppins!
Young Robin Williams as an alien... do I need say more?
Set in a German prisoner of war (POW) camp during World War II, this comedy is one to for sure check out. It follows a group of American prisoners who aren't really prisoners at all, as the German leaders aren't very bright. Hogan and his posse escape the camp several, several times but always come back because they have sorta become the inside men and the Germans have no idea.
They have communication radios to their commanders and tunnels leading out of the camp. It's really quite humorous some of the things they're able to get away with.
You know what they say, opposites attract! And that is the exact situation of Dharma and Greg. Dharma comes from two extremely hippie parents and she's inherited a lot of their traditions and has the most amazing personality ever. Greg comes from a prim and proper rich family who never step a toe out of line.
Together though they make the CUTEST COUPLE EVER! They're so in love with each other and get into all sorts of mischief, usually prodded on by Dharma, and Greg tries to be rational but loves it because of how much he loves her.
It's really very a good show. It is from the late 90's early 2000's but I've never met someone who's watched it, so I thought I'd include it.
Willowdean had the courage and nerve to defy her mother and her town to prove that self acceptance is a more important quality then looks.
Ellen, Willowdean's best friend, was a difficult one to sort. She exhibits traits of a Hufflepuff (acceptance of others, kindness) but she also exhibits the Gryffindor trait of loyalty. In the end, I sorted her into Gryffindor because it was Ellen's loyalty that consistently helped Willowdean through her journey of self acceptance.
One of Bo's primary traits was his acceptance of others. He treated everyone the same—rich or poor, ugly or pretty. And for that, Bo is not only a Hufflepuff but also boyfriend goals.
GiphyFirst, let me say that I did not sort Rosie into Slytherin because she was mean to Willowdean. I am well aware of the "All Slytherins are mean" stereotype. The reason why I sorted Rosie into Slytherin was because of her ambition (a trait all Slytherins share). When she was a young teenager, Rosie had her heart set on winning The Miss Teen Blue Bonnet Pageant. But she did more than just wish for it. Rosie worked hard to win that title because she had the ambition to do so.
I sorted Hannah into Ravenclaw because she uses her knowledge to guide her decisions. Hannah constantly makes references to the patriarchal roots of our society and how it has put women in a disadvantageous position. It is this knowledge that drives a majority of her decisions throughout the film.
With all of her cheer and optimism, how could you not sort Millie into Hufflepuff?
Lucy, Willowdean's aunt, is literally Hufflepuff goals. She loves her niece and tries to help Willowdean love life and herself.
Lee, the African American drag queen, was also difficult to sort. On one hand, he displays the Hufflepuff characteristic of accepting others for who they are. However, I sorted him into Gryffindor because he was not afraid to be himself. He wore drag despite any criticism he might encounter. Lee also proved his loyalty to Lucy when he helped Willowdean along her journey of self acceptance.
GiphyCallie, Ellen's friend, was sorted into Slytherin due to her ambition. Like Rosie, Callie is intent on winning The Miss Teen Blue Bonnet Pageant and was willing to do nearly anything to get the title.
While there aren't that many characters in Dumplin', each one plays an important role in Willowdean's journey. If you haven't watched Dumplin' yet, I'd encourage you to do so. It's a great feel good movie about friendship and self acceptance.
