Disclaimer: As a member of Netflix’s #StreamTeam, I have the funnest job ever. This month is all about the shows you keep saying you’re gonna watch but then never get around to. So maybe step it up a little bit and watch them, already? The dishes will totally keep. And as always, all thoughts, opinions, and questionable viewing habits are entirely my own.

It’s no secret- P.J. and I are both TV obsessors. As in, we call them “our programs.” (P.J.: I don’t call them that. Keely: Okay, fine, that’s more a ME thing.) Only trouble is, it’s rare that we find a commonality. I like- no, love– whimsy, and P.J. prefers horrifically boring documentaries about the history of, like, gluten. I adore my dusty mysteries, and P.J.’s more along the lines of “is someone getting stabbed in the face?”
Now, I’m not talking about the stuff we watch before bed. Oh no, those aren’t “our programs.” Those are the brain lullabies known as House Hunters, and House Hunters: International. And while those are magnificence in televised form, those aren’t the things we guiltily attempt to catch up on. No one’s ever lost from missing an episode of vacation home House Hunters.
I’m referring instead to those “shelfies;” the series which are, quite literally right at our fingertips, but we haven’t yet managed to sit down and tear through in a weekend. And what’s even more amazing is the fact that these three are the TV unicorns that we both somehow want to view. Here they are in list form- which, hopefully, will encourage/shame us into actually watching the darn things:
How I Met Your Mother
Yes. I know. What’s that you say? I’m the only one who hasn’t seen this show from start to finish? Well, ha HA, you’re wrong. Because P.J. hasn’t, either. Witty banter, friends leaning on friends, and- let’s be honest- a mystery? HOW DID HE MEET YOUR MOTHER?! (Listen, I even saw the spoiler pictures for the series ending and still have no idea what’s going on.) It’s beyond time.
Bloodline
Family secrets, intrigue, loyalty, Kyle Chandler. I’m sure this series has more violence than I’m accustomed to (my ideal amount is “none,” but I seem to be plowing through Marvel’s Daredevil just fine-ish…) but any series recommended to me by most of the adults I know can’t be completely wrong.
Girl Meets World
Oh my God you know you’re just so curious.
(Unless we just put on “Kimmy” instead.”
Tell me, friends, which titles are gathering cat hair on your virtual shelf?
And no, you can’t say Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood. (‘Cause I know you’ve already seen them all.)
