Regardless of what stage of life you're at, there's always room for learning. Some go to their parents for advice, others dive into literature and many go straight to television to find out how to deal with life. There's something very reassuring about reliving old episodes of your favourite TV shows, specifically those shows that helped get you through another aching day. The characters spoke to you, you felt the frustration and after the credits started rolling, you anxiously awaited the next episode so you could release all over again. Here are eight meaningful TV shows that provided much needed support and won us over with their emotional chokeholds.
Roseanne
Some may bash Roseanne for being trailer park programming or whatever, but these are the people that seemingly miss the relevance of it. At the time seeing a woman in a lead role was dismal. And, watching a family that was more than rough around the edges and anything but rich was not broadcasted before Roseanne. This was not your Brady Bunch type of family and that’s exactly what made it great. The parenting approaches weren’t all about hugs and sweet talk: there was screaming, there were extreme arguments, there were lies”by golly it looks like a real family. Still, through all the heated times there was a plethora of hilarious skits, acting and dialogue that showed you didn’t need to be rich to be happy. It was nice to flip on the TV and watch characters battle through their problems because who wants to see a perfect sing-a-long sitcom? Halloween episodes like this were the best therapy for a bad day.
Great blog with some interesting TV shows. I didn’t watch these TV shows, but after reading this blog, I am really excited to watch these shows. Thanks for sharing the information.
