TV Breakdown Thursday: Why do I always watch Friends and The Office

 So... at one point in time my favorite show ever was Arrested Development... and it's not that that isn't still my favorite... but it has kind of changed over time because rewatching Arrested Development now is not nearly as fun. Especially with all the controversies of the cast... and the newest seasons on Netfllix. I haven't even watched the last few episodes... which I will one day but... idk it's just not the show it used to be. Parks and Rec, 30 Rock and Community are also shows I liked better than The Office at the time they were on... and yet I always watch marathons of The Office and I'm slightly disappointed when there are repeats of Parks and Rec on instead. It's weird. 

What I really like is that there are so many seasons of The Office and Friends. There are hundreds of episodes to watch and it isn't like you are watching the same exact episodes every single time. Whereas when I see Parks and Rec on... I think they show most of the series in one marathon because the show had like 3 short seasons and it was only on for 7 seasons (season 1, 3 and 7 were the shorter seasons.) So... it just doesn't really work well for a marathon once a week. There was one channel that used to play like 2 hours or so of Parks and Rec a day and that was pretty good but... it isn't as easy to bingewatch. 

TBS Plays friends from 10am to 4pm just about every day and it's something new just about every time I see it it's just a nice bingewatch. It isn't too much it just feels like a nice show to watch and it just makes me happy every time I see it. It's something I could easily watch every single day because it's just easy to have on in the backround while I do something else. 

The Office I feel like is my special show that I watch on the weekends when I'm off. I just relax and watch it half asleep and... it's just really really funny. Plus I love that each season is a little bit different. There's Jim and Pam and Roy and then there's Jim and Karen and Roy and Pam and then there's finally Jim and Pam dating, and engaged and then married and having marital troubles.We also see Michael with Jan and it seems like they should be together... but then they're miserable together and Jan is crazy. And then Michael meets Holly and THEY ARE PERFECT but she gets transferred and that's sad. And then there are the seasons without Michael which I didn't like at first- but in rewatching they really aren't bad. I just like watching this once a week. It makes me happy and honestly- while I've seen every episode of Friends 100 times at least but The Office- I don't really remember ever episode and there are a lot I haven't seen in a long time. 

So yeah... these are my favorite shows to Bingewatch. I feel like if Modern Family and New Girl were on TV more often- those might be on the list too... but because of streaming services I feel like it's hard to see shows in syndication anymore. 

Anyway that is everything! Hope you guys like this! 

Bye!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

How To-sday: How To Arrange a Bookshelf

Ahhhh arranging a bookshelf. If you thought you knew how to do it you're probably wrong because I just did it wayyy better! 1) Use it For DVDs  I don't always keep a lot of my books... so many of my book shelves are really DVD shelves. So yeah. 2)  By Genre...  You ever think "Hey I'm in the mood for a horror Movie" and all you're finding is rom coms? Fear no more! Just arrange your dvds according to different genres. I have a section for Romantic Comedies/Chick Flicks, Horror and serious movies... on that shelf I also have my X Files DVDs and Tim Burton Movies because that fit there... One shelf I have cartoons, kids movies and holiday movies... one shelf is comedies, next shelf is TV... and I think that's it. 3) Give Wes Anderson Movies Their Own Shelf-  The only movie that didn't fit in my collection was The Royal Tenenbaums... Couldn't figure out where to put it... so it might get it's own shelf. Maybe I'll get other Wes Anders...
