Episode Summary
Comfort television is nostalgia, kinship, family, convenience, escapism, and so much more. It includes favorites from the past, the syndicated usual suspects of Law & Order and Star Trek franchises, classic sitcoms, reality television, and other contemporary streaming hits. Host Dr. Melinda Lewis tunes in with former Drexel University colleague and TV enthusiast Ana Castillo-Nye to binge all their favorites, and make sense of this universal creature comfort.
