My brother and I were having a conversation. If you could only pick five television shows and they would be guaranteed to be renewed next year, what would you pick? You can’t choose anything that’s already cancelled, like The Office and Breaking Bad. Also, variety shows/late night shows don’t count, so don’t worry about including SNL or Late Night. I’m also not counting Arrested Development, because it’s technically already been cancelled and now it’s back for one season, it’s a weird circumstance.
Here are mine -
- Parks and Recreation
- The Mindy Project
- Parenthood
- Grey’s Anatomy
- NCIS
This was a really hard decision because there are at least 3 more I want to put on this list.
I am curious, what are your five?

That is the day that my all time favorite television show ended - Friends.
Friends played a very important role in my life when I was growing up. I went through a lot of hard times in middle school and Friends was basically the only thing that made me laugh. It’s played such a significant part in my life, I actually have a Friends tattoo.
You might ask why I am writing this today. Well, today, a show called 30 Rock is ending. While 30 Rock hasn’t touched my life the way Friends has, it has grown to become one of my favorite shows. I know that there are a bunch of people out there who feel the same way I felt about Friends about 30 Rock. It’s the end of an era. It’s hard. A lot of people don’t understand how or why TV shows have such an impact on people, but I do. TV is magical. It affects people in extraordinary ways. I understand the hurt and sadness that 30 Rock fans will be feeling tonight. That’s why I’m writing this blog entry.
I’ve fallen behind on so many TV shows this season. The two that I will never fall behind on are Parks and The Office, but everything else has kind of taken a back seat.
99.9% of you won’t be interested in the rest, I’m just rambling about which shows I need to catch up on this summer. This is partly for myself so I don’t forget. Oh, and if you have any suggestions on shows I should watch this summer, let me know! I’m hoping to get a lot of TV in.
NBC is hands down the best network for comedy. They had Friends and now they have these amazing shows.
