What to Watch on Netflix

Just like Pinterest, Netflix is extremely addicting! I generally enjoy watching tv shows more than movies because I often do not have an extended period of time to dedicate to tv. A 20 or 30 minute show is the perfect amount of time for taking a break and relaxing before getting back to work. So, what shows are the best to watch? Here’s my list of favorites in no particular order:

1. The Dick Van Dyke Show– This classic is wholesome fun! Van Dyke is a master of physical comedy and his relationship with Mary Tyler Moore on the show is so adorable.

2. Borgia– Not to be confused with the Showtime series The Borgias, this show is full of intrigue and scandal. It chronicles the pope, Alexander Borgia, and his family as they try to become the most powerful family in Italy. There are some gruesome and risque scenes, so I would not recommend this series for younger viewers (I would also recommend a lot of fast forwarding, even for older audience members).      

3. How I Meet Your Mother– This sweet and raunchy comedy is one of my favorites! I swear I watched all seven seasons on Netflix in about a month because I was so hooked. I can’t wait for them to get the eighth season.

4. Fraiser– I just began this show and am very pleased with it so far. Fraiser is a lovable character whose difficulties with women and his family lead him down uncomfortable (read: wildly funny) paths. Since it’s an older series, it is more tasteful and family friendly which is what I prefer.
