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...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...
