The best comfort entertainment of 2018

TwitterFacebook

If you’re going to face the world every day and also somehow stave off the existential dread, you’ll need a reliable library of comfort content to keep you going. Some series and films are as essential as a mug of cocoa or a soft blanket – something safe and reliable, which feels like coming home.

These are the shows and movies that got us through 2018, that kept us sane when reality was too much (or when we got overwhelmed by all the new TV and films premiering every nanosecond).

Hello and welcome to your regularly scheduled reminder to watch NBC’s Superstore, a delightful workplace comedy about a megastore in middle America and the lovable weirdos in it.

Trump’s SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh looks exactly like Glenn from ‘Superstore’

TwitterFacebook

Donald Trump is obsessed with television ratings, so it makes perfect sense that he’d choose a SCOTUS nominee who strongly resembles an actor, right? Right.

Cut to Monday night, when Trump picked Judge Brett Kavanaugh to take the seat of Justice Anthony Kennedy, who announced his retirement from the Supreme Court in late June.

Some immediately saw Kavanaugh as the man who could help overturn Roe vs. Wade, but others saw Glenn Sturgis — the manager of Cloud 9 on NBC’s Superstore, played by actor Mark McKinney.

Jessica and Oscar are very good at kissing, but this scene gets a shoutout because they proceed to have sex with a lot of paint.
