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!

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
