Oscar season is approaching. This is when I look at all 10 best picture candidates traditionally and try to form a brilliant opinion on the nuances of the story. But I’ve seen only four so far and blamed 2025.
Most nights these days, there’s less about high-faltin movies, not about “Bridget Jones’ Baby” or anything starring giant CGI spiders. “I’ll watch all ‘brutal’ 35 minutes later,” I declare while melting from the couch like an excess of 8 dollars eggs. “A moment when the mood hits to learn more about post-war Europe.”
My data inbox supports many of us longing for mental escape, the lever to turn down political noise. This week I’ve been chatting with readers about important current issues such as the right way to load a dishwasher (you’re all passionate about it). And with our latest newsletter, we asked for our favorite comfort watch.
“My husband always looks at Seinfeld,” writes Mary Anne Klein. “I can’t sleep,” ‘seinfeld, ‘sick, ‘seinfeld, ‘bore, ‘seinfeld’ he must have seen all of the dozens or more episodes in our 25-year marriage. But that’s not too bad. ”
Other reader picks for “Dexter”, “Cute Woman”, “I Don’t Remember”, “Gilmore Girls”, “Shrink”, “Superstore”, “Parcks and Recreation”, “Law and Order”, and “Project” There are only a few. Runway”, “90 Day Fiancé”, “Golden Girls”, “Friends”, “Great British Bake Off”, “New Girl”, and there is a unique subplot in which the characters have characters Jess is When she’s sad, she obsessively re-watches “Dirty Dance.”
Times editor and vice president Mark Kutches is the most discerning television consumer I know and has earned “Seinfeld” season 7. He said, or “Office” seasons 1-4. . There’s no better ointment for a crisp soul than “The Office” season 4, episode 13, also known as “The Dinner Party.” If you know, you simply know.
Some respondents said they were looking at fear to relax because they were scared more than life. My family spent the weekend watching the “Hunger Games” movie, delighting children fighting death for sports under the control of a wealthy authoritarian government. fun!
My current weekday night looks like this:
We will shut down jobs that revolve around news. Read more news, essays and social posts until my head gently exhale. Try reading the novel. Distracted by news, essays and social posts. Discuss the news with my husband. I ask my husband to discuss anything other than the news. Safe food. It disappears into a huge number of sweatpants.
Launch the show.

First, there’s Dexter (reader Tom!). Then, if we feel strong enough to eat, it’s “yellowjackets.” We get caught up in “Glaze’s anatomy,” a good season when there are bombs in our body cavity. After my husband goes to bed, I get up to absorb more blue light and choose a documentary about murder and episodes of “Sex and the City.” I do so when I’m playing Mind Number Bine Block Games on my phone. The app I’ve deleted many times is, “What do you know? It’s not heroin.”
If you’re nodding, you know that psychological research supports habitual brain degassing. Comfort calms our overloaded minds and makes us familiar with our own rewards. We know what happens – Jim and Pam get married, Dexter escape the crime scene, and Katnis conquer the wheels of oppression. Predictability is a gift that can be given to yourself in times of stress, unlike the actual new cycles filled daily with unexpected delirium tremens.
Now, friends, go. Whatever “it” is, you have permission to see it again. Ross and Rachel are on a break, and so are you.
