9 TV Shows That Deserve To Be Binge Watched

I have always been a big viewer of so many television shows. I have watched dramas like ABC/CMT's "Nashville". I have watched comedies like NBC's "Parks and Recreation". I watch reality tv shows like E!'s "Keeping Up with the Kardashians". I have watched crime thrillers like NBC's "The Blacklist".

One of my favorite free time activities is watching TV or streaming Netflix or Hulu.

I know in this day in age, a lot of people prefer to watch their favorite television shows on streaming services or on demand because people don't want to watch commercials. They are boring and repetitive.

Binge watching has become a normal thing in our lives over the past six years or so because of on demand and streaming services

On my social media feeds, I always see my friends asking for recommendations for old or new television shows to binge watch on Netflix and Hulu.

They are so many shows out there to watch. I didn't even know how to begin creating a list of shows you can binge watch next but I tried to the best I could with shows I loved to binge watch by myself or with my friends.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
