Häagen-Dazs Frozen Yogurt
No joke: these two flavours are better than any of their regular ice cream flavours. How does that make sense? No idea - ain't no physicist. They're insane tasting.
And I'm not endorsing them here as some sort of "better for you" choice when compared with ice cream. There's hella sugar in there and I'd bet that they're equally as bad as ice cream is for you. I'm really just here to tell you to try one (or both) of these immediately. I literally haven't bought any other flavour in the past... three years? Yeah. Maybe even four. MAYBE EVEN FIVE.
There's one other flavour in their frozen yogurt selection: vanilla raspberry. But don't get that one, it blows. The raspberry just ruins it, as raspberries usually tend to do.
Definitely try the vanilla or coffee, though. You'll thank you.

Gas Buddy
I think it's safe to say that we could all be saving a little bit more money, no? And if you have a car, this site is amazing for finding the cheapest gas station in your area when you type in your postal code / zipcode. Such a great idea.
Supermarket Sweep
From 1994. Mark & Jennifer vs. Kari & Vicki vs. Tammy & Lizz. Whole episode with a great ending to where they won $5,000. I have a half clip of another episode of Supermarket Sweep.
Why the hell did they never show reruns of this show on The Game Show Network? I was constantly waiting for that day to come.
The Best TV To Watch On Netflix
I haven't had cable for years and once it's gone, you really never miss it. The thing I do miss, though? Having old-ish television shows on in the background as I'm cooking or lounging or cleaning or, you know, living. Yes, there are certain shows that are better to sit down and give your undivided attention. But there are other shows that you can treat as some sort of comforting background noise to accompany your day. Maybe it reminds me of being younger, maybe I'm still not over the nineties/aughts, maybe I'm afraid of silence, WHO KNOWS. Whatever the reason may be, if you share any of these same feelings, these shows will fill that void.
30 Rock
Assuming you've already seen the whole series (well, you really only need to watch the first four or five seasons, the final ones aren't that great), this is a perfect show to re-watch at your leisure. There are definitely jokes you've forgotten that were/are amazing.
Freaks & Geeks
Maybe the best thing James Franco ever did? I wish this were ten thousand seasons longer than it actually was.
Gilmore Girls
I realize I might not win any friends with this one, but this show definitely had its moments. And the fact that it's coming back (with Jess?!) is incredible so preparation for such an event is necessary.
Frasier
Hopefully, you already understand how great this show was/is, 'cause I'm not going to sit here and convince you. You either realize this or you don't. And if you don't? Get checked.
3rd Rock From The Sun
This is an example of a show I hated when I was younger. Hated. Little did I realize that John Lithgow is probably the greatest living actor of our generation and he deserves all of the awards ever for how he portrayed this role. Too much? Nope! Go watch.
Friday Night Lights
Okay, if you haven't watched this before, then you need to include it first on your "Must Sit Down And Give Full Attention To" list. It's amazing television - and that's coming from someone who gives zero shits about football (I'm still allowed to say that even if I partake in fantasy football since I still don't actually understand how the game is played). But this show? Pretty, pretty great.
Arrested Development
I will never tire of this show. Well, the first three seasons of it. And I swear to God, you'll make other, non-believers love it, too. Even those who "claim" they never watch comedies.
Friends
All right, listen. I'm not even the hugest Friends fan, I swear to you. But it's a pretty decent show to unwind with from time to time. (Ugh, you hate me, don't you. I can feel it.)
Futurama
There is so much that is perfect about this show, that I refuse to simplify how great it is - other than stating that it's probably the next best thing to having The Simpsons on Netflix.
Bob's Burgers
I think we're all well aware of how much I endorse this program.
And you know how it takes you a million years to decide on what to watch on Netflix? If you're not in the mood for an entire movie, then these are the perfect options to get you through a meal or, like, an hour of living a life.

Arrested Development
One of my favourite Tobias lines from Arrested Development I don't own anything.
That part at seven seconds where Jason Bateman almost laughs is my everything.

10 Cloverfield Lane
Watch the movie trailer for 10 Cloverfield Lane, a new film from J.J. Abrams. 10 Cloverfield Lane is coming to theatres March 11th. Director: Dan Trachtenberg Starring: John Goodman, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Gallagher Jr.
Ummm, this looks fantastic.
