My Favorite Shows OFF the Air

Hey ya'll,

Since this blog is so new (there hasn't been a proper post yet!), I thought I would do a series of favorites posts. To start off, I am going to be doing a list of my favorite TV shows that are no longer airing new episodes. This list is in no particular order.

First off is Gilmore Girls! I absolutely LOVE this show!! It is just such a fun show to watch! Even at its saddest moments, I still know I'll be laughing at some point during the episode :) Cannot wait for the new spin off coming soon to Netflix! This show is about a mother that had her baby at 16, forming a special bond between the two. 

Parenthood. Oh Parenthood. Starring Lauren Graham of Gilmore Girls, I couldn't not watch this show. However, after the pilot, I was watching for so many more reasons then just Lauren. This show is very unique, as it focuses on one family and all of the drama they encounter. This show will make you cry, yet we all need that some times. Throughout the course of the show, I found myself growing very attached to all of the characters. I highly recommend this show to everyone, for everybody can find something to love in this amazing show. 

Then we have Glee. Glee is a show about a glee club full of "losers" at a school. This show was great because it always featured great covers of great songs. Plus, it was super relatable for me, because I am not at all popular in school. While many say the show loses its direction after season 3, I found season 4 to be one of its best. Highly recommend. 

The next show I love and will miss deeply is Parks and Recreation. Probably the funniest show I have ever seen, Parks and Rec is a great comedy about a parks department in a government office. I miss this show so much, but am glad to know that I still have the Office to enjoy, a show made by the same creators. One of the best things this show has going for it is its format. It is made in a Mockumentary style, with the cast talking to directly to the camera quite often. 

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is one that I cannot say is amazing, because it isn't. There are many flaws throughout the show. The show is pretty good in its early seasons, and is hit and miss throughout its later ones. However the ending season is in my opinion the worst, and could almost be skipped all together. I have to include this show, however, because it is a classic and does have an addicting quality to it. 

Smallville is the show that got me hooked on superheroes. This show tells the origin of Superman. Don't expect to see it all in the first season, however, as it takes the full ten seasons to see the flying man in tights. All in all a great show that really set the stage for the amazing superhero shows on TV today. 

Next up are my two favorite sitcoms from TGIF. Boy Meets World is probably my favorite show of all time (followed closely by Gilmore Girls and Parenthood). This show follows a boy growing up in the world. "Meeting" it if you will ;) I think the lessons one learns throughout this show are all very important and are greatly woven in through the show. Plus, once this one ends, one can go on to watch Girl Meets World, the great continuation. 

Full House is the other great sitcom that came from ABC's TGIF lineup in the 80s and 90s. This show follows Danny after his wife dies. Danny recruits his brother in law Jesse, and his best friend Joey to raise his three daughters. What this results in is a great show full of laughs over 8 years. Soon to be followed by Fuller House coming to Netflix in February. 

The final two shows I want to talk about are from my childhood. The first being iCarly. This show is about three kids making a webshow. What else can I say, really? Great show for kids. 

Finally, I want to mention Wizards of Waverly Place. This kick started Selena Gomez's career, showing her and her two siblings playing young wizards in training. Great show for kids, but with a more family aspect that iCarly lacks. 

OK well that's it :) Hope everyone enjoyed reading about my favorite shows off the air! Come back soon for my favorite TV show still airing, favorite books of all time, favorite books of 2015, and most anticipated books of 2016. Plus reviews of books and TV shows once they start coming back.
