Do you have a “go to”?

When I can’t sleep, and don’t want to read or be online , I will turn on The Big Bang Theory and watch it. It makes me laugh out loud, and the characters are so likeable. I used to turn on The Golden Girls when that happened, but not anymore.
Is there a TV show or movie that you always end up watching when nothing else is going on?

I like The Middle but I don't watch it when I am trying to sleep. I usually try to do some deep breathing or relaxation exercises, or I take a sleep inducing supplement. Big Bang is a great one though I agree.

@snowy22315 There are ten episodes of Stuart Fails to Save the Universe and some are as short as 15 minutes.

@AmbiePam I thought the show about Stuart was a movie. I guess I was mistaken.

When my first husband was ill I would go to the living room, lean back in the recliner and turn on the weather channel. It was enough variety for me, but repetitious enough it did not cause me to be more alert.

I think that the Big Bang has been on air in syndication longer than they actually aired, or close to it.
I usually just look out the window if I cannot sleep, look the skies, the clouds if there are any, and the moon.
If that doesn't work I will open the computer and play mahjong.

I guess my "go to" comedy would be Friends. It never gets old and still makes me laugh

I don't really have that issue... So can't really answer. I'd just get up and watch YouTube probably though.
BBT was a great show though, I want to rewatch the series sometime

Wow, I don’t have that problem. I usually end up having my watch complain that I got to bed late because I was up at 3 AM listening to history podcasts. 
I don’t have cable so watching a TV show is out of the question unless I want to get up and go into the living room and pop in a DVD of Hogan’s Heroes or The Rat Patrol.

One of the court TV shows. I finished all of the seasons of Judy Justice on Amazon Prime and now I'm on Season 2 of Tribunal Justice. I think those judges are jerks, especially Judge Judy's son, but it's background noise and I learn interesting legal points.
