Sometimes, all you want in life is to curl up and watch something that reminds you of a simpler time. A time when you had no responsibilities, nothing much going on, and had ample free time to just really love the television line up with your whole heart. The shows that had you at the newsagency on the weekend, buying TV Hits and Big Hit magazines so that you could plaster your walls with posters of all your Friends, and your teen queens like Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jennifer Love Hewitt, regardless of whether you wanted to be them or be with them!
Nowadays, these are the shows that give us that sweet, sweet hit of nostalgia, while also demanding very little of us, because we’ve seen the show before — sometimes multiple times — and already know that we like the show! These are the shows that are perfect after a long week in the office, during times of stress, and when you’re sick and just want to pass the time without having to give too much of your energy to what’s happening onscreen.
We’ve rounded up a list of 27 shows you’ll know, love, and want to revisit immediately.
