NEW SHOWS & SPECIALS
Top Pick

Other Recommendations
FIFA World Cup 2022 – Peacock
Sebastian Maniscalo: Is It Me? – Netflix 12/6
Best of Stand-up 2022 – Netflix 12/31

OLD SHOWS

Everybody Loves Raymond (Complete Series) – Paramount+ 12/14
Moving from Peacock to Paramount+, the last great multi-cam sitcom is the perfect show to binge in 2023. Why not start with my top 10 episodes?

Other Recommendations
The Andy Griffith Show (Complete Series) – Paramount+ 12/21
Chuck (Complete Series) – Prime 12/30
