10 TV Shows To Binge During A Sick Day

4. The Nanny

When you’re feeling absolutely miserable, there’s nothing you need more than a good belly laugh. The Nanny is a laugh-out-loud sitcom in the vein of I Love Lucy, which is fitting, since the star, Fran Drescher, drew a lot of her inspiration from that very show. Though some may find that this show relies too heavily on stereotypes of Jewish people, the British, and American WASP-culture, most will find the comedy not only relatable, but hysterical.

The Nanny hits the ground running: The pilot is just as strong as strong as episodes from later seasons. Though it’s another perfect show for a semi-conscious, temporary invalid, you may find yourself wide awake and eager to binge every single moment.
