The show How I Met Your Mother is the perfect solution for your television blues! People should watch How I Met Your Mother; because while it is a light hearted comedy that’s entertaining, it teaches many valuable lessons you use in life about subjects such as love, friendship, grief, and change.

The birth of Lily and Marshall’s son, Ted finally meeting his wife, and Barney’s wedding vows to Robin are some of the few moments that first come to mind. This show also gave me the world’s greatest couple Lily and Marshall. They are what I want to model all my relationships after. They base their relationship on their friendship and that is what makes their marriage so successful.
It taught me that sometimes there are things you cannot control, such as Robin’s inability to have children. But it also taught me that even though there are things that are out of our control, we should not let it take over our lives or hinder our goals and experiences. How I Met Your Mother reminded me that you must let go of the old in our lives in order to make way for change and progress. It reminded me that change can be good from Barney becoming a father, to Ted giving up on Robin which essentially allowed him to find his wife. Change means progress.
Everyone should watch this show because it is so refreshing to watch a show that is a comedic relief. I feel that this show exhibits the best relationships for people to model their own after, whether it be romantic or a friendship. This show can teach people that change is good and like Ted sometimes you need to take a leap of faith, in dating or

    You laugh, feel bad for laughing at the information given on the show, then think about why you laughed and then explore the political or social facts behind the joke, which all leads one to my point of Family Guy being a great show you should watch because it is educational. Not only to mention the emotions that comes with the show but as well I must include the incredible voice talent done for this show. Not only can the creator Seth MacFarlane, speak in these individual voices, he can sing in them as well. The television show is rated a 8.3 according to critics and viewers on IMDB.…

    “Greys Anatomy” is my all time favorite television show, also all of the seasons on Netflix. I have had Netflix for about 3 years now, ever since it came out. I have been watching “Greys Anatomy” since I can remember, and I have seen each and every episode of every season. “Greys Anatomy” has affected my life because it has taught me how to handle hard situations, taught me about love and also has taught me about friendship. First in season 1, some hard situations that “Greys Anatomy” has taught me about is when Meredith found out that Derek (the guy who she was dating and who she had a relationship with) had a wife named Addison.…

    Arrested Development’s idea of comedy comes in relatable situations within families such as: sibling conflicts, misunderstandings, and disorder. Arrested Development has even developed a cult following due to the show's running gags, which is subjectively the funniest part of the show.

For example, Dennis creates a systematic approach on seduction a called the “D.E.N.N.I.S System” that belittles women. Unlike Arrested Development, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia requires little to no knowledge of previous episodes.…
