Watching reruns is fun, but can also feel like a waste of time to some. As it turns out though, that is not the case, according to a study by psychologist Jaye Derrick of the University of Buffalo's Research Institute on Addictions. Derrick states that watching reruns can help us all because it replenishes our depleted self-control and ability to resist temptation.
Apparently, when a person is watching a rerun of one of their favorite shows like Seinfeld or Boy Meets World, it can give him or her positivity from the familiar fictional world they know. After all, people don't just want reruns because they are the only thing on TV. They tune in because they are fun and enjoyable to watch.
Reruns also help relieve stress, especially comedies that can potentially clear the clouded mind. Of course, if your temptation is sour cream and onion flavored chips when watching TV, it may be a little hard to suppress that temptation when your favorite show's reruns are on.

Yes






















DVR is the way to go.
I find EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND to be WHOLESOME and SOMETHING EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY CAN WATCH from 4 to 54....and over...
ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW is another TIMELESS. FUNNY EVERY-TIME we see one that we have seen 20 times before. I LOVE LUCY and THE LUCILLE BALL SHOW (THE LUCY SHOW) the slap stick was PERFECT and THREE STOOGES with CURLY was IMPECCABLE SLAP STICK and the DEAN MARTIN and JERRY LEWIS MOVIES, slap stick and STORIES so CLEAN and FUN..ABBOTT and COSTELLO MOVIES, FRANCIS THE TALKING MULE, MA and PA KETTLE, DAGWOOD and BLONDE MOVIES....and on and on..
MOST I HAVE SEEN AS KIDS FROM THE 1957 till now so many times I know some lines and scenes by HEART..but even then STILL TIMELESS and FUNNY....
But Friends? Heck, it's been off the air for eight years now, and I still watch it!
And don't get me started on the best TV show of all time - Star Trek. That show shines in re-runs ....
Two and a Half Men(with Charlie Sheen)
The Mentalist.
Life without tv is ...Life. Life with tv is observing someone else doing what some director told them is their job, If that is not bad enough, you are being forced to watch commercials for your pain and suffering! Isn't having to do your own job bad enough without having to watching someone else work?
I either DVR or pause live TV for an hour and just jump through all that junk.
I do S/H while I am waiting:-))).
I hear that show was really good,
but also very challenging to watch and follow ~
I've thought about catching it from start to finish, but, idk...
Sometimes I just wanna chill an'NOT think about what's goin'on ;p
I remember a few co-workers trying to 'hash' it out,
( no pun intended, lol, but it does seem to fit the 'bong' theory ! )
one of whom was my boss, and she was definately dazed, and confused ;p
Who knows, maybe I'll give it a whirl, someday, if I got braincells to spare, that is ;0 )
Thanks for your input ! And your friendship too, btw ! Peace to Ya, an'Party On !
I'm NOT Lost ~
It's a tv show, dude...
I shouldn't be watching reruns of this show. I should be watching new episodes. Why did you have to be discontinued?!
