Favourite TV shows and watching them over and over

Billy87

Does anyone else have a favourite TV show that they watch over and over till you almost know it off by heart? I find the show can become a kind of safe place for me, I know at the end of the day I can just get cosy and watch it and it's so warm and familiar and I can lose myself in the characters and just feel safe

does anyone else do this?

Thing is the shows change from time to time. For a while there it was the US Office, it got me through the second lockdown and the change of moving into my new house

Then for a while it was the 70s sitcom Man about the House

Now it's New Girl. I love it and I watch it all the time, I find the characters really comforting cos they're all a bit different and not "normal" people

  • I used to do this with books as a child and teenager. I really enjoyed rereading my favourite books- it was comforting and soothing. I reread Harry Potter books many many times (I think some of them over 15) when I was a teen. I reread other books too- one of my child hood favourites was 'Lost Riders' by Elizabeth Laird- Now that you mention it I think maybe I should read it again to bring me some comfort. I also reread the famous five a lot of times as a child and recently when I was feeling sad and overwhelmed and was going through a difficult time I actually listened to the famous five audiobooks (even though I am now 25). I also listen to the same audiobooks multiple times sometimes- I like the books/audiobooks by Cathy Glass. I do enjoy listening/readng new books/audiobooks too but there is a comfort in rereading/relistening to a book that you know and love. I do not watch much TV/movies so I have less favourites to watch, but I have rewatched a few movies too- I haven't seen New Girl - maybe I should give it a try?
