5 on Friday: TV shows that make me laugh out loud

February 1, 2013

5 on Friday is a new weekly feature on the blog where I’ll share five things I’m reading, watching, listening to, enjoying, thinking about … you get the idea. This is the first. tv

Five TV shows that make me laugh out loud:

  1. Duck Dynasty. We resisted jumping on this bandwagon for a while, but now we’re glad we joined up.
  2. 1600 Penn. Again, adding new shows to our weekly lineup is something I’m reluctant to do. What if it’s not as good as our favorites? No worries here. This is one of our new favorites.
  3. Go On. Even though it tackles a serious subject–grief–each episode contains at least one element of ridiculousness that leaves me laughing.
  4. The Office. Especially two recent episodes about lice and an espresso machine. Last season, I was ready to give up on this comedy. It would seem they have saved the best for last.
  5. Parks and Recreation. Two words: Ron Swanson. That is all.

If not for Duck Dynasty on this list, we’d look like a one-network family. In truth, most of our comedy comes from NBC, but we do watch other networks.

What are your favorite shows for laughing?

Welcome

Hi. I’m Lisa, and I’m glad you’re here. If we were meeting in real life, I’d offer you something to eat or drink while we sat on the porch letting the conversation wander as it does. That’s a little bit what this space is like. We talk about books and family and travel and food and running, whatever I might encounter in world. I’m looking for the beauty in the midst of it all, even the tough stuff. (You’ll find a lot of that here, too.) Thanks for stopping by. Stay as long as you like.
