These are not "comfort" shows; these are "falling in love over and over again" shows. Which one is your soulmate?

Let me paint you a picture: you're snuggled in bed, it's raining outside. The smell of freshly made food surrounds you as you unpack your favourite delivery meal. The internet speed has never been better. You have no to-dos left on your list and no texts that need your attention. In fact, your afternoon is looking like a heaven-gifted session of peace and quiet (what some others might know as: a treat yo' self day). Best of all, you have nothing to do tomorrow too, so you can sleep in. The universe has truly collided for you to log into your favourite streaming platform and indulge in a never-ending marathon of your favourite sitcom. What could possibly be better? We have the answer: a marathon of not only your favourite sitcom, but ALL your top 10 sitcoms.

Others might think you are a little obsessed after rewatching How I Met Your Mother for the eleventh time, but we get it. Some TV shows have earned a permanent place in our hearts and warm our spirits whenever we need something to cheer us up. What better season than fall to dive back into the universes we all love and cherish, and joke about. Let's reintroduce ourselves to the most memorable characters ever created (most of whom are also the most delusional ones). We encourage this opportunity for you to force a friend who has never watched any of these to become an ultimate fan as well (it's for their own good).

So, to encourage your decision to be happy again, we bring you some of our old-time favourite sitcom moments. We are sure that they will not only resonate in your day-to-day life, but also accurately represent the sitcom fans community that we are so very proud to be part of. Yes, everyone wants to be a Rachel, but at heart, we know you will treat this rewatching session with Monica-like logistics. Also, may there always be a Lois in your life to constantly point you in the right direction when you're starting to behave like a Francis.
