The Simpsons
No matter how many times you watch this show, it never gets boring. The generation before me enjoyed The Simpsons and so will you. It’s funny, it’s raunchy and has amazing guest stars such as Leonard Nemoy, Justin Bieber and The Beatles (!). The Simpsons is a great watch for a day you’re really sick or a day you just want to be.

Franklin and Bash
This show isn't as popular as its legal show oppositions such as Suits or even White Collar but this show it good! The main protagonists, Jared Franklin and Peter Bash, are quirky, smart and just down right entertaining. Mixed in with a Malibu beach house and an agoraphobic freak, Franklin and Bash is just awesome and a day stuck in bed is an awesome way to catch up on it.
