I spent 2020 watching New Girl and Schitt's Creek over and over.

I think it's safe to say A LOT happened in 2020 and we all had to find ways to cope with everything changing around us.

And if you're like me, you probably spent your time binge-watching new or old TV shows because it allowed you to ~escape~ for a few hours.

Julie and the Phantoms became one of my new favorite shows in 2020 because the music was phenomenal, the cast was great, and it just made me smile.

Maybe your favorite new show of 2020 was Never Have I Ever because it made you laugh and forget about the world for 30 minutes.

Perhaps you rewatched The Vampire Diaries because you consider it your "comfort show" and it was a way for you and your friends to stay in touch because you were all rewatching it.

Maybe no show has brought you more joy in 2020 than Ted Lasso because it was just so wholesome and the characters were flawless.

Heck, perhaps you finally got around to watching Grey's Anatomy for the first time and it gave you a sense of comfort to watch doctors saving lives.
