7 Shows I'll Never Get Tired of Watching

Television shows come and go. Many are short lived and then others can go 10+ seasons. However, there are ones that stay with us forever. When I don't feel good, I have my go to shows and movies. There are shows that I love to watch over and over and never get old. I may know the plots, I may know who the killers are, I might even know the dialogue but they never get old. These are seven shows that I'll never get tired of watching...

1. The West Wing.

I first watched the West Wing after the last season ended. It's 7 seasons long and the final season had just been put out on dvd. I caught Best Buy having a sale on the first few seasons and I bought the first one on a whim. I had been hearing really good things. I went through the first season in a manner of days. I'm not someone who keeps up with major politics and that was my biggest worry when I first started watching. The writing was amazing. The characters are complex and people we find ourselves rooting for, people we hoped we could one day step up and be. This is by far one of my favorite shows ever.

2. Matlock.

I started watching Matlock when I was a kid. I would get up and turn on the WGN channel coming out of Chicago and watch two back to back each morning. I'd turn it on right as the theme song began to play. Matlock aka in real life as Andy Griffith will always remind me of my grandpa. I've seen every episode at least 10 times. I'm not joking. I'm low balling that number even. It lasted 9 seasons and every crime that Matlock had to investigate he always got down to who the real killer was. I know it's from the late 80's and early 90's but give it a shot. It was a good show!

3. Frasier.

Who didn't love Eddie the dog? Frasier was a spin off from Cheers. I never really watched Cheers but when I started watching Frasier, a radio shrink I would have tears from laughing so hard. The British live in physical therapiest for his dad who had been shot as a police officer. The competing younger brother with a wife we only hear about but never see. Roz the slutty friend who works with Frasier. It gave me 11 seasons of laugh. I have these on dvd and I still laugh with each episode.

4. Seinfeld.

Seinfeld was a show about nothing. The nothing's they went through, we went through. We all knew a close talker. We knew girls with man hands, we even had a crazy neighbor. This show talked about them. They brought them to center attention in a way that was hilarious. We could all relate to their crazy lives. The clothing might be a little dated now but this show is still relevant. I've seen every episode but I still crack up watching the repeats.

5. Charlie's Angels.

This was another show that I watched in repeats while I was growing up. These were three strong women, who were out in the world working in a male dominated occupation. These women were smart, funny, beautiful and could keep up with the guys. These women did everything.. roller skate, go on cruises, work the circus... they did it all to catch the crooks.

6. Sex and the City.

I was late to the party of SATC. I didn't start watching this show until the last season was on HBO. I caught up with every season within two months and loved it. I rooted for Big, I hated Big. I wanted her to marry Aiden. I wanted her with Big. When Carrie left for Paris I screamed at the tv. When Samantha had cancer, I cried at her speech. When Charlotte was heartbroken over Harry, I hoped they'd get back together. I love this show and I loved the bonus movies. The episodes don't get old. The dates are funny and their lives were amazing to watch.

7. Designing Women.

This show broke a lot of boundaries at the time. These women of Sugarbakers Design firm talked about real issues that weren't getting talked about on television. The seven seasons it aired it brought tons of laughs, tears with major issues like the AIDS battle and even personal issues with weight battles of the celebrities. These women were pioneers and they did it with the help of one man who had an unfortunate event of incarceration.

Weekend Update

It's Labor Day weekend! I want to give a shout out to everyone who works hard in the United States!

This weekend, I took advantage of the Labor Day sales and hit the mall. I was in desperate need of some additions to my work clothing closet. I hit three stores and found some great stuff for amazing savings. My first stop as Forever 21. I think this is a great store to find cute tops for cheap prices. I found this cute polka dot shirt for under 20.00 dollars.

I don't know why but I had been wanting a polka dot shirt and when I saw it, I knew I had to try it on. It worked so I got it. It'll be great to wear in the winter and summer because it's a little sheer so it'll stay cool in the summer heat.

My next stop was New York & Company. This place is the epitome of work clothing. I love this store and they have great stuff. I always feel the prices are a little high so I was very excited to see that they had pants 50% off! So what would normally got 53.00 a pair, I got for half that. So of course I bought three pairs of pants.

The great thing about these pants they all fit in length! I am short. To not have to hem these pants is amazing. They also have pockets and their very comfortable!

My last stop was to JCPenny. I hadn't been there in a long time but I know they always have great business tops for a cheaper price. They also had a huge sale going on. All items were reduced and then you got another 15% off the sale price. I walked away with two more tops for only 12.00 dollars total! These shirts are normally 20.00 a piece.

I'm definitely set for awhile and was lucky to find everything on sale. This was definitely the weekend to go shopping! I think most of these sales are going through to today so if you see something you might want check out those places today!

Besides all of the shopping, I partook in Beezy's Fantasy Draft Football meeting. When I say meeting. These 10 guys met in someone's garage, ate pizza, drank and yelled like 10 year olds at each other until they got what they wanted for 6 HOURS! I've never seen anything like it. I ate pizza, scrolled through instagram for entertainment and prayed they'd get to round 15 fast.

 

Clearly, Beezy's real name was on there... but that's his draft! He better win that money! We could go on a cruise with it. Besides that I tried to relax all weekend. I'm also working on a craft project that I'll share soon. Have a great one!
