People talk about comfort foods, like meat loaf, or chicken soup, or a gallon of ice cream right out of the carton. But I have realized over time that I have comfort tv. Jeopardy is really comforting to me. When I am having a really down day and everything makes me want to cry, nothing soothes me more than the dulcet tones of Alec Trebec's voice. I think it must stem from the memories I have of Jeopardy being watched in our home by my family in my childhood when I was safe and protected and problems were simpler. For the same reason, Wheel of Fortune, one of my mom's favorites when I was little, also has that effect on me. I'm betting that Perry Mason and Magnum, P.I. would have the same effect.
Am I the only one who has comfort tv?
