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.

Alexis Bledel's Dating History Over The Years Includes A Few ‘Gilmore Girls' Loves, Too
Alexis Bledel is best known for playing Rory Gilmore in Gilmore Girls, a character whose love life fans are very passionate about. And Alexis dated some of her onscreen boyfriends too! Earlier this week, my phone buzzed with a text from a friend I hadn't spoken to in three months. 'Dean, Jess, Tristan, or Logan?' she asked. Sensing the urgency of the situation, I immediately responded, 'Logan 100000 percent.' I've elected myself president of the Logan Huntzberger Fan Club since the first time I watched Gilmore Girls. I firmly believe that Logan is the best partner for Rory. Sorry to all the Jess girlies out there — and if we're looking at off-screen relationships, that includes Alexis Bledel. Any Gilmore Girls fan worth their coffee knows Rory Gilmore's dating history like the back of their hand, but Alexis Bledel's dating history is much more low-key. The star is much more private, but just like Rory, she's captured her fair share of hearts over the years, including two of her Gilmore Girls love interests! Rory may have Dean, Jess, Tristan, and Logan, but Alexis has Jared, Chris, Milo, John, and Vincent. This might be controversial, but I think Dean was the best first boyfriend Rory could have had. As far as we know, Jared Padalecki was the best first boyfriend Alexis Bledel could have had, too. The Supernatural alum confirmed he and Bledel dated while filming Gilmore Girls Season 1. 'When Alexis and I met, we were both 17 years old and were both Texans and kind of in this new, strange city and I was like, 'Hey, want to go out to dinner?'" he told Glamour in 2021. 'I don't know if we tried to keep it a secret. I wish it was scandalous or something! I think it was more kind of silly.' I guess he really was 'her Dean.' Bledel may have dated two of her Gilmore Girls love interests, but she dated three of her Gilmore Girls co-stars. Chris Heuisler had a small role as a Stars Hollow High basketball player in Season 2 Episode 11, titled 'Secrets and Loans.' The pair didn't interact onscreen, but casting director Mara Casey told Life & Style that they were briefly together offscreen. Okay, even though I'm Team Logan, I happily admit that Rory and Jess had crazy onscreen chemistry. That's probably because their actors dated for three years in real life! They started dating halfway through filming Season 2 (which was around 2002 and was the season Jess moves to Stars Hollow) and broke up in 2006. They've stayed on good terms since; Ventimiglia even Bledel on her Emmy nomination in 2017. Alexis Bledel briefly dated this British model between 2010 and 2011. They were photographed attending a for Kate Spade's new fragrance in September 2010. Bledel guest-starred on Season 5 of Mad Men as the mistress of Pete Campbell (played by Vincent Kartheiser). Their illicit affair was totally above board in real life. They waited to begin dating two months after filming wrapped, got engaged a year later, and tied the knot in a in June 2014, according to US. The couple were careful to keep the details of their relationship private, so the world was happily surprised to learn — from , who played Luke Danes on Gilmore Girls — that they welcomed a son in fall 2015. In 2022, Us Weekly reported that Kartheiser had filed for divorce after eight years of marriage. Bledel currently appears to be single. I may be on Team Logan for Rory, but I'm on Team Alexis for Rory's real-life counterpart. Check out for even more celebrity relationship content! This post has been updated.

Étoile Cancelled After One Season at Amazon, Despite Two-Season Order
Étoile is taking its final bow, a little earlier than expected. Amazon's Prime Video has cancelled the Amy Sherman-Palladino ballet comedy after just one season, our sister site Deadline reports, despite Amazon giving the series a two-season order initially. The decision to cancel 'came down largely to performance vs. cost,' Deadline says. More from TVLine The Cleaning Lady, Alert: Missing Persons Unit Both Cancelled at Fox Daniel Dae Kim's Butterfly Spy Thriller Sets Amazon Release Date Casting News: Nicole Kidman Lands Yet Another Series, Power Reunion at Netflix and More Hailing from Gilmore Girls and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel creator Sherman-Palladino, Étoile starred Luke Kirby (who played Lenny Bruce on Mrs. Maisel) as Jack McMillan, the artistic director of a prestigious New York ballet company. To drum up interest (and give flagging ticket sales a boost), Jack agrees to swap dancers with an equally renowned ballet company in Paris. (FYI: Étoile, pronounced āˈtwäl, is defined as a principal dancer in a ballet company.) Along with Kirby, the cast included Charlotte Gainsbourg (Call My Agent!), Gideon Glick (The Other Two), Simon Callow (Outlander), Lou de Laâge (The Innocents) and David Alvarez (West Side Story).

McDaniel: Trump, Musk feud like Ross and Rachel on ‘Friends'
Former Republican National Committee (RNC) chair Ronna McDaniel during a recent TV appearance equated the bitter feud between President Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk to the cyclical relationship between Ross and Rachel on the sitcom 'Friends.' 'I'm hoping it's like a Ross and Rachel thing. That it's just a break and they come back together. You know, we all panicked when they broke up on 'Friends,'' McDaniel said in a Thursday night appearance on NewsNation's 'Cuomo,' adding that she hopes they 'come back together.' Musk, who heads six companies, has been slamming Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' that is currently moving through Congress. He amped up the rhetoric Thursday, taking direct jabs at Trump by backing a call for the president to be impeached and accusing him of being in the Jeffrey Epstein files. Trump threatened to cancel the contracts that Musk's companies have with the federal government. Earlier at the White House on Thursday, Trump said he was 'very surprised' and 'very disappointed' in Musk over his criticism of the massive spending bill that passed the House last month. 'I think Trump's — you've seen Trump forgive people who have said things about him. You've seen these two men work very closely together. Elon was a big part of this election,' the former RNC chair told host Chris Cuomo. 'He came in, their businesses have both suffered, they've been attacked, they've taken a lot of personal hits for coming out politically, and I hope in the end they call a truce.' Cuomo then asked McDaniel if she thinks both men are 'worth more or less than before the election?' 'I think they're both worth more,' she said in response. Trump is looking to move past the fallout. Officials close to the White House did not rule out the possibility of the two men fixing their relationship. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
