Take a trip down memory lane and enjoy these television goodies.
Netflix. HBO GO. Hulu. Amazon Prime. These days, it’s hard to imagine a world without streaming. But for some of us—older millennials, Gen X, the boomers—television used to be a thing. When I was younger, I remember racing to the telly right before dinner to catch an episode of Buffy, Charmed, or Dawson’s Creek. And because episodes aired once a week, I would have to wait a full seven days to find out what happened next. That, or anticipate the DVD release to be able to enjoy a season in its entirety without the commercial breaks.
There was no shortage of good telly back then. And fortunately for us, it is now much easier to rewatch—or watch, for those new to these series—our old favourites, as the streaming giants have acquired the rights to some of these programmes.
Enjoy a walk down TV memory lane with our recommendations as listed below:
1. Friends
No list would be complete without this television darling, which celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2019. Whether you are an avid fan or a casual viewer, it’s always easy to jump back in with Chandler, Monica, Rachel, Joey, Ross, and Phoebe for some good laughs and heart-warming moments. Good news? The cast will be reuniting for an unscripted special sometime this year.
