The 10 Most Rewatchable TV Shows
We all have comfort shows — they're safe spaces. Whether it's your tenth rewatch or just a random Tuesday, there's comfort in pressing play on something that feels familiar.
So, I gathered these series, all of which have a way of matching your mood and season, like emotional playlists in TV form. Here's a year-round watchlist that always hits just right, no matter the time of year.
Friends
Perfect for: Spring evenings or anytime you need a laugh.Could I be any more basic? Maybe. But this show is timeless. The Central Perk gang feels like old friends (pun intended). Whether you're watching "The One With the Football" or crying during Ross and Rachel's airport moment, it never fails.
Modern Family
Perfect for: Weekend mornings with coffee.Phil's chaotic energy, Gloria's dramatic flair, and Cam's fabulousness make this a go-to series for moments you want to laugh and maybe tear up a little. Plus, it's ideal background TV while making pancakes.
New Girl
Perfect for: Early fall or when you're feeling chaotic in the best way.Jess is sunshine in human form, and the loft dynamic is everything. The humor is weird, quirky, and endlessly quotable, "JFK, FDR."
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Perfect for: Late summer or when you need a motivation boost.Fast-paced, fun, and filled with lovable weirdos. Jake's wild plans and Holt's emotionless reactions are comfort food for the brain, and the Halloween episodes? Legendary.
Full House
Perfect for: Winter holidays or anytime you need to feel safe.Watching the Tanner family just be together will make you feel like everything will be okay. It's sweet, funny, and brings major cozy vibes. Bonus points if you're under a blanket and sipping hot cocoa, "you got it, dude."
Gilmore Girls
Perfect for: October — this show IS fall.If fall had a TV mascot, it would be the Gilmore girls. No season is complete without watching Lorelai and Rory banter over coffee in Stars Hollow. The dialogue is fast, the relationships are messy, and the fall aesthetic is elite.
Jane the Virgin
Perfect for: Spring drama and romantic energy.This show is "a telenovela dream come true." It's over-the-top, hilarious, and surprisingly touching. Every plot twist pulls you back in — even when you already know what's coming.
How I Met Your Mother
Perfect for: Transitional seasons like late March or early September.There's something comforting about Ted's overthinking, Lily and Marshall's love, and the slap bet that never dies, it's legend...wait for it...dary.
Gossip Girl
Perfect for: Late summer when you want fashion, chaos, and drama.Three words, eight letters, we love GG. The outfits, the secrets, the voiceovers, the perfect guilty pleasure that you can't feel guilty about at all. It's perfect for channeling main character energy.
And Malcolm in the Middle
Perfect for: Random weekdays when you need relatable messiness and big laughs.This show is pure, unfiltered mayhem — and that's exactly what makes it comforting. Let's not forget Hal, the ultimate chaotic dad, always getting into something ridiculous and somehow making it lovable. It's the kind of show that makes you feel seen in the most specific way possible and leaves you laughing every time.

'Friends' Star Lisa Kudrow Would Consider Role on ‘The White Lotus.' But There's 1 Problem
Lisa Kudrow says she'd consider a role on The White Lotus—but she has one big reservation. In an interview for Variety with Parker Posey, the Friends star was asked if she would ever enter "The White Lotus world," and she gave a two-part answer. 'Work with Mike White? Yes,' Kudrow, 61, said, referencing the showrunner of the HBO hit. 'I love Mike White. I've hung out with him at a party. He's social. And Brad's Status was my favorite movie that year. I emailed him to let him know, because I had to — it was so good, I had to. I don't do that a lot.' The first three seasons of The White Lotus has featured an eclectic cast of female characters played by Jennifer Coolidge, Connie Britton, Sydney Sweeney, and, most recently, Posey. But Kudrow, who's best known for playing wacky Phoebe Buffay on Friends, admitted to Variety that she may not be White's 'cup of tea.' She added of the HBO anthology drama series, 'I do get nervous about inhabiting things that are too dark; I try to avoid that.' While The White Lotus is one of the buzziest shows today, it would be hard for Kudrow to top her 10-season run on Friends. The actress starred on the show for 10 seasons between 1994 and 2004 with David Schwimmer, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, and Matt LeBlanc. In 1998, Kudrow won an Emmy Award for her work on the NBC sitcom. 'We loved each other,' Kudrow told in December. 'Going to work every day was heaven. It was too good to be true, but it really was. I won a lottery being on Friends. Anything else I got to do was icing.''Friends' Star Lisa Kudrow Would Consider Role on 'The White Lotus.' But There's 1 Problem first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 7, 2025

Lisa Kudrow's ‘The Comeback' is finally coming back
LOS ANGELES - Two decades after "The Comeback" premiered on HBO, the Lisa Kudrow-led comedy is returning for one last season. The mockumentary show, created by Kudrow and "Sex and the City" executive producer Michael Patrick King, debuted in 2005 to lukewarm reception. Though the series was canceled after its initial 13-week run, it returned again in 2014 for a surprise second season. It's since gained a cult-like following and critical acclaim. Now, "The Comeback" is staging another comeback, with the third and final season expected in 2026. "The Comeback" follows washed-up sitcom star Valerie Cherish (Kudrow) as she documents her return to the spotlight on a reality show aptly called "The Comeback." While little has been revealed about the upcoming season, the teaser video suggests Cherish is working on another "new show" - one she doesn't seem too excited about. "Valerie Cherish has found her way back to the current television landscape," King and Kudrow said in a joint statement. "Neither of us are surprised she did." "No matter what the industry throws at her, Valerie Cherish is a survivor," said Amy Gravitt, executive vice president of comedy programming at HBO and Max. "On the 20th Anniversary of her debut, Michael Patrick King and Lisa Kudrow have brilliantly scripted her return to HBO and we can't wait to see that." Kudrow's potrayal of Cherish has earned her two Emmy nominations for lead actress in a comedy series. Earlier this year, the "Friends" star also made Variety's list of the best television performances of the 21st century, coming in at No. 4. Alongside Kudrow, Dan Bucatinsky, Laura Silverman and Damian Young will be returning to the series. Notably absent is Robert Michael Morris, who played Cherish's hairdresser, Mickey Deane, and died in 2017. Copyright (C) 2025, Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
