I enjoy the American Public Television program听Born to Explore听with Richard Wiese. He travels the world making friends with people from different countries, visiting places of local interest, and introducing us to local food and customs, among other things. He shows us the beauty of both the people and the places.

I think the British sitcom听Catastrophe, broadcast on Channel 4 in Britain and on Amazon in the United States, is an accurate depiction of marriage. It鈥檚 so accurate because it鈥檚 a big, imperfect, crazy mess. The couple works through and embraces the chaos of children and life. The dialogue is written as if the writers have been in those situations. I don鈥檛 love every single thing about the show, but it pulls me in to watch until the end!听

In terms of my favorite sitcom, I think it鈥檚 a tossup between听How I Met Your Mother听on CBS and听Parks and Recreation听on NBC. The chemistry between the cast members on these two shows is tangible in every moment, from the comedic riffs to the ugly-cry scenes. The characters are perfectly flawed, so human, and relatable even in their hyperbole. And the shows are quotable!

My favorite sitcom is听Cheers, which aired on NBC. It is the best show ever!听
I still laugh out loud at this show, even though I know exactly what will happen next!

I have been watching the TNT crime drama听Animal Kingdom, which is currently back for Season 3. It takes place in Oceanside, Calif., has great characters and tense heists, and keeps things PG-13.听
I鈥檝e also been pulled into the show听The Kettering Incident, which was broadcast on the Showcase channel in Australia and streams on Amazon in the US. It鈥檚 a very unique mystery series set on the Australian island of Tasmania.
