Looking for a metric to capture just how fussed-over your favorite summer jams often are? \"Never Really Over\" is the work of \u003cem>nine\u003c/em> credited songwriters, including Perry herself and the ubiquitous Zedd.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center\">Herve Pagez & Diplo, 'Spicy (feat.

In \"Glad He's Gone,\" Swedish pop star Tove Lo comforts a dear friend with sexually frank affirmations in the aftermath of a painful breakup. Dispensing kind advice—mostly of the pick-yourself-up, you're-too-good-for-him variety—Lo drives her point home in the hypnotically infectious, haunting hook: \"You're better off / I'm glad that he's gone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center\">Cardi B, 'Press'\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IdnRv04IZc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cardi B has been a vibrant, wildly charismatic addition to the pop landscape in recent years, but \"Press\" is a one-off swat at a gossip mill that's obsessed over her personal life with relentless invasiveness.

But another way is to serve up a mission statement to a smaller-but-mighty subset of the pop audience. For King Princess, a 20-year-old who's currently blooming into a queer icon, \"Cheap Queen\" has it all, from a coolly woozy sound to a statement of purpose sure to resonate: \"I can be bad sometimes / I'm a real queen / I can make grown men cry.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center\">Gucci Mane & Justin Bieber, 'Love Thru The Computer'\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvinPCCGSxc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe it's the tinny, computerized beats; maybe it's the lighthearted narrative about, well, finding \"Love Thru the Computer.\" But Gucci Mane's new single feels playfully old-school, even evoking the story-song rambles of Biz Markie or Young MC, albeit with far saltier language. Bieber's presence on the hook makes \"Love Thru the Computer\" a pop contender from the jump, though his own personality is muted next to Gucci's.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center\">Bad Bunny, 'Callaíta'\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acEOASYioGY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny just got around to releasing his first full-length album back in December, and he's already got a follow-up single in the smoothly ingratiating \"Callaíta.\" Recorded as a one-off with reggaeton producer Tainy, the track touches on the greatest hits of summer-song celebration: the beach, booze, sex and that certain someone with whom all three can be shared.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center\">The Chainsmokers, 'Call You Mine (feat. Bebe Rexha)'\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XCVM3G3pns\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three of the most eager collaborators in the electro-pop business—that'd be Bebe Rexha and the two basically interchangeable dudes in The Chainsmokers—gather for a familiar mish-mash of sensibilities, complete with one of those snaky little Chainsmokers-y hooks. Truth be told, the song's pretty easy to forget (ask again after radio stations have spun it a few hundred million times), but at least the video tells a \u003cem>Memento\u003c/em>-style story in which Rexha murders The Chainsmokers, stuffs them into a car and flees police. \u003cem>Summer, y'all!\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2019 NPR.

The voice cast—including Donald Glover, Chiwetel Ejiofor, John Oliver, Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner and one Beyoncé Knowles—has generated a lot of excitement. But as Disney continues churning out live-action (or here, live-action-ish) remakes of its successful animated musicals, it's bound to run out of luck at some point. Beyoncé makes it seem less likely it will happen here, but the appetite for this is probably not unlimited. Nevertheless, the original \u003cem>The Lion King \u003c/em>is quite beloved, and they've still got James Earl Jones on board. \u003cem>— Linda Holmes\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TavVZMewpY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Once Upon a Time in Hollywood\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003cstrong> (July 26):\u003c/strong> Quentin Tarantino's period piece stars Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio as a TV actor and his stuntman making the rounds in a rapidly changing Hollywood.

Jarmusch regulars Tom Waits, Tilda Swinton and Bill Murray join Jarmusch newbies like RZA and Selena Gomez (and many, many more) in what promises to be a pleasantly shambling story about shambling ghouls. \u003cem>— Glen Weldon\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/bs5ZOcU6Bnw'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/bs5ZOcU6Bnw'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Men In Black: International\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong> (June 14): \u003c/strong>There's no reason to believe that the only thing \u003cem>Men In Black: International \u003c/em>will have going for it is the sizzling Chris Hemsworth-Tessa Thompson chemistry that they've already shown off in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

My obsession with summer reading began with school-mandated novels; there’s certainly a dreamy, child-like quality to losing yourself in a book...say, five-hundred pages about a colony of rabbits. But let’s be honest about our attention spans these days, and about how most of us are reading: on screens, on public transit. Lately, I would rather have a story punch me in the gut than whisk me away. Maybe this is why short stories are having “a moment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/10831961/The-irresistible-rise-of-the-short-story.html\">A recent paean to the short story\u003c/a> in\u003cem> The Telegraph\u003c/em> offers novelist Elizabeth Day’s explanation: “Many people struggle to find the time to engage with a full-length novel when they’re dealing with emails every second of every day or having to meet deadlines or rush home to put the kids to bed. A short story offers the perfect antidote -- it’s the equivalent of listening to a single track of music instead of the whole album.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only are short stories increasingly popular, they’re also perfect for summer. Short, yes, but a whole lifetime in a moment, or a whole nation in one town. These vignettes don’t necessarily celebrate the beach, the sunshine or the open road, but they have stayed with me since I’ve read them. So for this anti-summer reading list, let’s celebrate how short stories can be so dark and so satisfying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Anti-“school’s out”: ZZ Packer, “Our Lady of Peace” from \u003cem>Drinking Coffee Elsewhere \u003c/em>(2003).\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“School’s out forever,” as told by a burned-out teacher in Baltimore. Lynnea moves from a small-town in Kentucky, where her family is one of the few black families in town. Packer’s descriptions of Lynnea’s travails as a public school teacher ring true to this former educator, but the outlet she finds for her frustrations about the educational system and herself is brutal, funny, and shocking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Anti-beach read: Nadine Gordimer, “Loot” from \u003cem>Loot and Other Stories \u003c/em>(2003).\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nadine Gordimer’s “Loot” is kind of the opposite of a beach novel; “Loot” is a delightfully slow read. The piece turns slowly in the reader's mind, like beach glass rattled on the shore, and sentences change shape and hue as you reread them (you will reread them).

My obsession with summer reading began with school-mandated novels; there’s certainly a dreamy, child-like quality to losing yourself in a book...say, five-hundred pages about a colony of rabbits. But let’s be honest about our attention spans these days, and about how most of us are reading: on screens, on public transit. Lately, I would rather have a story punch me in the gut than whisk me away. Maybe this is why short stories are having “a moment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/10831961/The-irresistible-rise-of-the-short-story.html\">A recent paean to the short story\u003c/a> in\u003cem> The Telegraph\u003c/em> offers novelist Elizabeth Day’s explanation: “Many people struggle to find the time to engage with a full-length novel when they’re dealing with emails every second of every day or having to meet deadlines or rush home to put the kids to bed. A short story offers the perfect antidote -- it’s the equivalent of listening to a single track of music instead of the whole album.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only are short stories increasingly popular, they’re also perfect for summer. Short, yes, but a whole lifetime in a moment, or a whole nation in one town. These vignettes don’t necessarily celebrate the beach, the sunshine or the open road, but they have stayed with me since I’ve read them. So for this anti-summer reading list, let’s celebrate how short stories can be so dark and so satisfying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Anti-“school’s out”: ZZ Packer, “Our Lady of Peace” from \u003cem>Drinking Coffee Elsewhere \u003c/em>(2003).\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“School’s out forever,” as told by a burned-out teacher in Baltimore.

Your shades are drawn and the fire escape is littered with the tiny leaves of a cilantro plan that has seen better days. Instead of that warm “Day’s End” candle from Walgreen’s that works perfectly, light the Citronella candle because you, surprisingly, saw a mosquito the other day and one bite is a monster.

The fire is hot and a few people are dancing dangerously close, so close they pretend to fall in, like they are losing their minds or something. The songs are mostly pop, which works totally fine and is doing the trick. Leave the BBQ with your other friend from work. Your sweater will smell of fire for days. And that pop tune will get stuck in your head. That just might be the one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>THE SULTRY\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/FcdOLKx2XG8\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>You feel like you’re inhaling water as you undress, like literally, you don’t have to drink it, just suck the thick wet air into your lungs to both breathe and hydrate.

Your shades are drawn and the fire escape is littered with the tiny leaves of a cilantro plan that has seen better days. Instead of that warm “Day’s End” candle from Walgreen’s that works perfectly, light the Citronella candle because you, surprisingly, saw a mosquito the other day and one bite is a monster.

And when it becomes too much and burns your skin, seek out a front porch for the evening if you can find one. The glory of a front porch and shorts at night. And do it again tomorrow. Redder skin.

Lucky you. Buy silver because the other colors are brown and light brown. Say “I will be” when the store clerk asks if you’re okay. He sees the crazy in your eyes. Run into the middle of the street. The can shakes like a rattle. Spray out your name in big round letters and add three exclamation points as though the pavement is announcing you.

Your hand on occasion fell notably into the grip of another’s, but more often, it did not.

Since I am TV-polyamorous, I would like to share the wealth with you. Let me introduce you to my six favorite TV boyfriends of the summer.

I slipped a disc in the L5S1 part of my vertebrae and there was major pressure on my sciatic nerve. Standing for extended periods of time was virtually impossible. This led to couch time and more importantly TV show marathons! After blowing through \u003cem>The OC, Laguna Beach \u003c/em>and \u003cem>The Ashlee Simpson Show\u003c/em>, I was tired of the sun-kissed cheeks and thoughtless drama. And where else to turn for cerebral joy than HBO? \u003cem>Six Feet Under\u003c/em> was in its last season and was at the height of popularity. So began my indulging of a different side of Los Angeles, the inland side. As we know, each episode began with a death and more often than not that body ended up in the basement of the Fisher Funeral Home. Some of the tightest writing in television history, \u003cem>Six Feet Under \u003c/em>defined that summer for me. I watched the show alone as though it demanded it. I never learned so much about life through death. Claire gave me serious Angela Chase vibes, David was super gay, Nate was hot, Brenda was crazy, Ruth was superb and my favorite character on the show. But what stood out most to me was the tone, supported immensely by the incredible music selections. Each episode quiet and hazy, not too dissimilar from the summer I was having, cooped up indoors while that hot star shown down on the rest of the world outside. And I was perfectly fine with it. Like any great television show, I was living through these characters, they were teaching me and I was affected. Since then I equate \u003cem>Six Feet Under\u003c/em> with summertime, because even in the brightest of seasons you must find room for a little darkness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/author/serena/\" target=\"_blank\">Serena Cole\u003c/a>: \u003cem>Lost\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/08/02/the-most-marathonable-tv-shows-ever/305-desmond-hurley-01-2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7262\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-7262 aligncenter\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/305-desmond-hurley-011.jpg\" alt=\"305-desmond-hurley-01\" width=\"640\" height=\"347\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/305-desmond-hurley-011.jpg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/305-desmond-hurley-011-400x216.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I believe in doing things all the way if you're going to do them at all. If you're going to drink, fall over with your pants down, and if you're going to marathon a show this summer, it should be at least a significant portion of your waking life. After all, what good is a show that was cancelled after two seasons, or one you have to wait an entire YEAR for your next fix? The good news for you is that the complete \u003cem>Lost\u003c/em> series is 49 hours, so you could put in a full work week watching it and still have episodes left. And it \u003cem>needs\u003c/em> to be all at once; sleep, hygiene, and food neglected until you really are stranded on a desert island with Sawyer, Hurley, Desmond and Charlie.

That shrill, frantic violin ending each time puts you so far off the edge of the couch that you don't even mind that you just got hooked on polar bears and time travel and you absolutely must know what happened in the next episode with the smoke monster.

This is stripped down, super funny, sketch comedy at its pinnacle, performed by the equally hysterical Dave Foley, Mark McKinney, Kevin MacDonald, Scott Thompson and Bruce McCulloch. It's ridiculous, hilarious and it's socially conscious with many sketches featuring openly gay characters (kind of a huge deal back then).

Life is far too complicated for just one favorite movie/band/food/dress/book/color. And television is no exception. For that reason I struggle with which show is my favorite to stream in the summer months. So many ways to answer the question…My ironic answer is \u003cem>Pretty Little Liars\u003c/em>, complete with shiny lip gloss, giant baubles and a text message-centric murder mystery that never ever ends. Bonus points for the fact that it’s laughably predictable suspense is full of repetitive horror movie tropes that could lend themselves to a pretty amusing drinking game. Subtract points for the fact that no one will watch this with me and I don’t think I should be drinking alone while watching \u003cem>Pretty Little Liars\u003c/em>. My genuine answer is \u003cem>New Girl\u003c/em>, a show that refreshingly portrays 30-somethings instead of teenagers, and not only that but depicts them as the ridiculous, immature, hilarious people they often are (I’d also nominate \u003cem>The Mindy Project \u003c/em>in this category if I could find it streaming somewhere other than Hulu Plus). I far prefer Mindy to Zooey, but regardless, both of these funny, girl-fronted shows make me happy. Many an episode has me laughing so hard I’m crying. I deeply relate to the thesis statement of both stories, ones where the humor is derived almost solely from the inability of its characters to be grown-ups. My nostalgic answers are the swoon-worthy, heartwarming, paradigm-shifting, Tim Riggins-having, \u003cem>Friday Night Lights\u003c/em>, as well as the classic, \u003cem>Twin Peaks\u003c/em>, whose conclusion I will one day soon actually see\u003cem>.\u003c/em> There you have it-five answers for the price of one! I think I’m going to cancel the rest of my summer plans so I can finally find out who A is, who killed Laura Palmer, further analyze the Lahiri/Castellano, Jess/Nick sexual tension, and watch Tim Riggins drive a pick-up truck and throw a football.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/author/lizzyacker/\" target=\"_blank\">Lizzy Acker\u003c/a>: \u003cem>Queer as Folk \u003c/em>(UK version)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/08/02/the-most-marathonable-tv-shows-ever/queer-as-folk-uk2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7287\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7287\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/queer-as-folk-uk2.jpg\" alt=\"queer-as-folk-uk2\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/queer-as-folk-uk2.jpg 600w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/queer-as-folk-uk2-400x200.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'm pretty much an \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/07/22/5-reasons-to-start-watching-orange-is-the-new-black-right-now/\" target=\"_blank\">evangelist\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/06/18/get-ready-for-the-bling-ring-by-watching-pretty-wild-on-netflix-instant/\" target=\"_blank\">for\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/03/22/the-real-world-san-francisco-is-airing-on-mtv-on-sunday/\" target=\"_blank\">the\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/05/31/please-keep-watching-arrested-development-season-four/\" target=\"_blank\">marathoning\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/03/13/the-killing-season-2-is-on-netflix/\" target=\"_blank\">of TV shows\u003c/a>. I grew up without a TV so watching shows on DVD was my first way of really experiencing and getting sucked into a TV world. For me it reflects the way I started consuming my stories: novels. I would stay up all night reading a novel, walk to school literally with my nose in a book, get sent out of the classroom for reading too much. Maybe I have an addictive personality. Okay, I definitely have an addictive personality. Anyway, for this one I decided to go waaay back to one of my first marathoning experiences: the totally sublime \u003cem>Queer as\u003c/em> \u003cem>Folk\u003c/em>. Though I still have no idea what the name means, I can tell you I devoured this show back when Netflix didn't even have Instant, the year after I graduated from college (2005 soooo long ago). How could I, a 23-year-old straight girl from America, identify so closely with a group of fictional gay dudes in England? Who knows. Maybe it was the character development, maybe it was the drama and romance. But I can say that before I watched this show I seriously didn't even know any gay men and by the time I finished it, all I wanted was to BE a gay man.

Another, Data, is an android. The residents of the ship spend much of their time painting and reading big tomes of classical literature and generally being comfy, space-bougey, and Frasieresque. In 1989, Ronald D. Moore, who would later reboot \u003cem>Battlestar Galactica\u003c/em>, started writing for the show, fully embracing the awkward comedy of it and allowing for the kind of dark storylines Roddenberry might not have approved of.

And then there are the people who reappear or just stay. Claire Danes is part of the latter category for me. When I was a tween, I watched \u003cem>My So-Called Life\u003c/em> over and over, that short-lived, yet enduring time capsule of what it feels like to be a teen, all that thrill and all that terror. Like an older sister, Angela Chase taught me how to dye my hair and battle against who my parents thought I was and how to obsess over Anne Frank and that surly boy incapable of loving me back. Those lessons were enough. If I never heard of Claire again, she would have served her purpose, yet she resurfaced in my life recently, as I was trapped in a Philadelphia airport, in the form of \u003cem>Homeland\u003c/em>. This time, she was playing a grown-up CIA operative who was crazed in a more clinical way than Angela Chase. But the core of what made me fall in love with her the first time remained: both characters share an unrelenting desire for someone just outside their grasp, as well as a stubborn refusal to let go of what they feel and believe. And it's due to these protagonists that both shows are the kind you can't help but devour, the first for its innocent nostalgic relatability and the latter for its passionate insane drama. Will Jordan Catalano hold Angela's hand? Will Carrie Mathison die for love?

I slipped a disc in the L5S1 part of my vertebrae and there was major pressure on my sciatic nerve. Standing for extended periods of time was virtually impossible. This led to couch time and more importantly TV show marathons! After blowing through \u003cem>The OC, Laguna Beach \u003c/em>and \u003cem>The Ashlee Simpson Show\u003c/em>, I was tired of the sun-kissed cheeks and thoughtless drama. And where else to turn for cerebral joy than HBO? \u003cem>Six Feet Under\u003c/em> was in its last season and was at the height of popularity. So began my indulging of a different side of Los Angeles, the inland side. As we know, each episode began with a death and more often than not that body ended up in the basement of the Fisher Funeral Home. Some of the tightest writing in television history, \u003cem>Six Feet Under \u003c/em>defined that summer for me. I watched the show alone as though it demanded it. I never learned so much about life through death. Claire gave me serious Angela Chase vibes, David was super gay, Nate was hot, Brenda was crazy, Ruth was superb and my favorite character on the show. But what stood out most to me was the tone, supported immensely by the incredible music selections. Each episode quiet and hazy, not too dissimilar from the summer I was having, cooped up indoors while that hot star shown down on the rest of the world outside. And I was perfectly fine with it. Like any great television show, I was living through these characters, they were teaching me and I was affected. Since then I equate \u003cem>Six Feet Under\u003c/em> with summertime, because even in the brightest of seasons you must find room for a little darkness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/author/serena/\" target=\"_blank\">Serena Cole\u003c/a>: \u003cem>Lost\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/08/02/the-most-marathonable-tv-shows-ever/305-desmond-hurley-01-2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7262\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-7262 aligncenter\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/305-desmond-hurley-011.jpg\" alt=\"305-desmond-hurley-01\" width=\"640\" height=\"347\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/305-desmond-hurley-011.jpg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/305-desmond-hurley-011-400x216.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I believe in doing things all the way if you're going to do them at all. If you're going to drink, fall over with your pants down, and if you're going to marathon a show this summer, it should be at least a significant portion of your waking life. After all, what good is a show that was cancelled after two seasons, or one you have to wait an entire YEAR for your next fix? The good news for you is that the complete \u003cem>Lost\u003c/em> series is 49 hours, so you could put in a full work week watching it and still have episodes left. And it \u003cem>needs\u003c/em> to be all at once; sleep, hygiene, and food neglected until you really are stranded on a desert island with Sawyer, Hurley, Desmond and Charlie.

That shrill, frantic violin ending each time puts you so far off the edge of the couch that you don't even mind that you just got hooked on polar bears and time travel and you absolutely must know what happened in the next episode with the smoke monster.

If you missed the five seasons of this masterful Canadian sketch comedy show when it originally aired in the late '80/early '90s, Netflix will set you straight. This is stripped down, super funny, sketch comedy at its pinnacle, performed by the equally hysterical Dave Foley, Mark McKinney, Kevin MacDonald, Scott Thompson and Bruce McCulloch. It's ridiculous, hilarious and it's socially conscious with many sketches featuring openly gay characters (kind of a huge deal back then).

Life is far too complicated for just one favorite movie/band/food/dress/book/color. And television is no exception. For that reason I struggle with which show is my favorite to stream in the summer months. So many ways to answer the question…My ironic answer is \u003cem>Pretty Little Liars\u003c/em>, complete with shiny lip gloss, giant baubles and a text message-centric murder mystery that never ever ends. Bonus points for the fact that it’s laughably predictable suspense is full of repetitive horror movie tropes that could lend themselves to a pretty amusing drinking game. Subtract points for the fact that no one will watch this with me and I don’t think I should be drinking alone while watching \u003cem>Pretty Little Liars\u003c/em>. My genuine answer is \u003cem>New Girl\u003c/em>, a show that refreshingly portrays 30-somethings instead of teenagers, and not only that but depicts them as the ridiculous, immature, hilarious people they often are (I’d also nominate \u003cem>The Mindy Project \u003c/em>in this category if I could find it streaming somewhere other than Hulu Plus). I far prefer Mindy to Zooey, but regardless, both of these funny, girl-fronted shows make me happy. Many an episode has me laughing so hard I’m crying. I deeply relate to the thesis statement of both stories, ones where the humor is derived almost solely from the inability of its characters to be grown-ups. My nostalgic answers are the swoon-worthy, heartwarming, paradigm-shifting, Tim Riggins-having, \u003cem>Friday Night Lights\u003c/em>, as well as the classic, \u003cem>Twin Peaks\u003c/em>, whose conclusion I will one day soon actually see\u003cem>.\u003c/em> There you have it-five answers for the price of one! I think I’m going to cancel the rest of my summer plans so I can finally find out who A is, who killed Laura Palmer, further analyze the Lahiri/Castellano, Jess/Nick sexual tension, and watch Tim Riggins drive a pick-up truck and throw a football.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/author/lizzyacker/\" target=\"_blank\">Lizzy Acker\u003c/a>: \u003cem>Queer as Folk \u003c/em>(UK version)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/08/02/the-most-marathonable-tv-shows-ever/queer-as-folk-uk2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7287\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7287\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/queer-as-folk-uk2.jpg\" alt=\"queer-as-folk-uk2\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/queer-as-folk-uk2.jpg 600w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/queer-as-folk-uk2-400x200.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'm pretty much an \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/07/22/5-reasons-to-start-watching-orange-is-the-new-black-right-now/\" target=\"_blank\">evangelist\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/06/18/get-ready-for-the-bling-ring-by-watching-pretty-wild-on-netflix-instant/\" target=\"_blank\">for\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/03/22/the-real-world-san-francisco-is-airing-on-mtv-on-sunday/\" target=\"_blank\">the\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/05/31/please-keep-watching-arrested-development-season-four/\" target=\"_blank\">marathoning\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/03/13/the-killing-season-2-is-on-netflix/\" target=\"_blank\">of TV shows\u003c/a>. I grew up without a TV so watching shows on DVD was my first way of really experiencing and getting sucked into a TV world. For me it reflects the way I started consuming my stories: novels. I would stay up all night reading a novel, walk to school literally with my nose in a book, get sent out of the classroom for reading too much. Maybe I have an addictive personality. Okay, I definitely have an addictive personality. Anyway, for this one I decided to go waaay back to one of my first marathoning experiences: the totally sublime \u003cem>Queer as\u003c/em> \u003cem>Folk\u003c/em>. Though I still have no idea what the name means, I can tell you I devoured this show back when Netflix didn't even have Instant, the year after I graduated from college (2005 soooo long ago). How could I, a 23-year-old straight girl from America, identify so closely with a group of fictional gay dudes in England? Who knows. Maybe it was the character development, maybe it was the drama and romance. But I can say that before I watched this show I seriously didn't even know any gay men and by the time I finished it, all I wanted was to BE a gay man.

Another, Data, is an android. The residents of the ship spend much of their time painting and reading big tomes of classical literature and generally being comfy, space-bougey, and Frasieresque. In 1989, Ronald D. Moore, who would later reboot \u003cem>Battlestar Galactica\u003c/em>, started writing for the show, fully embracing the awkward comedy of it and allowing for the kind of dark storylines Roddenberry might not have approved of. This clip reminds me of a great deal of poetry readings I've been to.

And then there are the people who reappear or just stay. Claire Danes is part of the latter category for me. When I was a tween, I watched \u003cem>My So-Called Life\u003c/em> over and over, that short-lived, yet enduring time capsule of what it feels like to be a teen, all that thrill and all that terror. Like an older sister, Angela Chase taught me how to dye my hair and battle against who my parents thought I was and how to obsess over Anne Frank and that surly boy incapable of loving me back. Those lessons were enough. If I never heard of Claire again, she would have served her purpose, yet she resurfaced in my life recently, as I was trapped in a Philadelphia airport, in the form of \u003cem>Homeland\u003c/em>. This time, she was playing a grown-up CIA operative who was crazed in a more clinical way than Angela Chase. But the core of what made me fall in love with her the first time remained: both characters share an unrelenting desire for someone just outside their grasp, as well as a stubborn refusal to let go of what they feel and believe. And it's due to these protagonists that both shows are the kind you can't help but devour, the first for its innocent nostalgic relatability and the latter for its passionate insane drama. Will Jordan Catalano hold Angela's hand? Will Carrie Mathison die for love? You'll just have to watch and see.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/pop/7234/the-most-marathonable-tv-shows-ever","authors":["2421"],"categories":["pop_6","pop_3"],"tags":["pop_177","pop_334","pop_1073","pop_1071","pop_386","pop_1077","pop_438","pop_384","pop_70","pop_1074","pop_1078","pop_1072","pop_696","pop_949","pop_1075","pop_1076"],"featImg":"pop_7282","label":"pop"}},"programsReducer":{"possible":{"id":"possible","title":"Possible","info":"Possible is hosted by entrepreneur Reid Hoffman and writer Aria Finger.
