What's The Best Show To Watch When You're Sick?

It's important to always have a list ready for when a sniffle creeps up.

IDK about you, but I have not had a common cold in, like, three years. This past week, one hit me, and I remembered how much of a pain in the butt they are.

All you're doing is sitting there, trying to blow a clogged nose, coughing up a lung, and trying to nap when your body lets you. And, of course, to pass the time, you need a really good show to watch.

Now, I'm feeling better (thank you for asking), but it got me trying to think of good shows to watch while you're sick (Bob's Burgers has been my rock). I'd like to turn to you, dear reader, and ask...what are your favorite shows to watch when you're feeling under the weather?

Maybe your go-to sick show is something happy without too much plot, so you can enjoy it without using a whole lot of brain power.

Maybe you love a good game show because you know if you accidentally take a nap in the middle of it, you won't miss a ton of plot.

Not trying to diss documentaries here, but maybe you love something so boring it makes you fall asleep. Hey, when you're sick, whatever helps!

Or, hey, maybe you're like me and you search "4K coffee shop jazz" on YouTube and delightfully zone out. I'm taking all suggestions here!
