Top 10 Best Throwback Shows To Binge-Watch, For All Genres

Because why watch a current show season-by-season when you can watch a throwback show all at once?

I think all my fellow binge-watchers can agree that watching throwback shows is 100,000 times better than watching current TV shows. I mean, how can we binge-watch if we have to wait a whole year for the next season? Nah, definitely not worth it. But sometimes it is hard to find the perfect throwback show that you can binge-watch all nine seasons in two weeks, ya feel? So I thought about my ten personal favorite throwback TV shows, that satisfy every mood and every genre, so next time you're searching Netflix or Prime or Hulu, you have the perfect show!

1. Comedy - "Friends"

Looking for a comedy to binge-watch? "Friends" is the answer. With 10 flawless seasons and countless laughs, there is no better way to procrastinate.

2. Drama - "One Tree Hill"

If you're looking for drama, just visit Tree Hill for a season. Warning, it will probably cause real-life drama as you get dragged into the Lucas v. Nathan argument. (Btw, Team Lucas over here!!!)

3. Thriller - "24"

I can't think of a better throwback show that keeps you at the edge of your seat for an entire eight and a half seasons. If you're looking for a show full of cliffhangers, thrills, and emotions, I present "24" to you.

4. Action - "Burn Notice"

Super underrated, "Burn Notice" is an action-packed throwback show that got a lot of TV bad guys thrown in TV prison.

5. Crime Drama - "White Collar"

"White Collar" is the most unique crime show out there, as we don't just get to see the F.B.I. solve crimes but the criminals, too. And sometimes we even see our leading (con)man Neal Caffrey get busted for his own crimes.

6. Medical Drama - "Royal Pains"

Not your typical medical show, "Royal Pains" gives a glimpse into the life of being a doctor for the top one percent. And although it lacks the cliffhangers of some of the aforementioned shows, it is a must-binge for those days when you only have time to watch four episodes instead of seven.

7. Supernatural - "Teen Wolf"

My personal favorite supernatural throwback show, mainly because of Derek Hale. Just kidding! Kind of... he is definitely my favorite, but the show has some very suspenseful storylines and pretty scary werewolves.

8. Sports - "Friday Night Lights"

Ahh, "Friday Night Lights" — the one time I actually cared about football. The best part of this show, though, is that even though it's centered around football there's enough drama to keep you entertained if you're not a sports person.

9. Fantasy - "The Vampire Diaries"

media0.giphy.com

So the fantasy and supernatural genres are pretty interchangeable, but I included both because I needed to rep TVD and "Teen Wolf." Like, how could you not want to binge-watch the Salvatore brothers... look how adorable!! Plus, you get vampire, werewolf, and witch drama!

10. Disney - "Hannah Montana"

media1.giphy.com

Yes, throwback Disney shows is its own genre. And what better throwback show to binge-watch on a bad day than this classic??? Plus, this time around, you can sing along to all the songs since the moment they aired you started memorizing them!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
