2. ER
“When I was little, my mom traveled for work a lot, and every Thursday night I’d try to stay up until she came home. I’d wake up to hearing the garage door close, and she’d come into the living room. We’d quietly watch ER and whisper about our weeks and I’d fall back asleep with my head in her lap.” —Rose Hedberg, Facebook

23. Friends
“It was (and still is) my mom’s favorite show since it premiered in 1994, when I was five years old.

33. The Amazing Race
“We know we would never survive in the show, so my mom and I live vicariously through it. We get so into it. We’ve cried when our favorite teams have gone home. It’s not your typical mother/daughter show, but we love it!” —ashleym4af6c88db

38. Chopped
“We love predicting who will win or get chopped. My mom taught me how to cook so we always bond over this show.” —kbreg24
39. Desperate Housewives
“My mom and I used to watch together every week from the time it started. When I moved away for college, and even after, we would stay on the phone with each other for full episodes just to share our thoughts. If I ever had to work or couldn’t watch it that night for whatever reason, we would schedule a time to watch it online together. That was our time for all those years — even when we were in some terrible fights when I was a teenager. It was a great tradition throughout our sometimes tumultuous relationship.” —nikkis421597258
