Have you been struck down by a nasty cold or any other seasonal illness that’s currently permeating our schools, offices, and homes? If so, make some tea, get yourself cozy on the couch, grab the remote, and put on one of these flu-themed episodes of TV.

Even Stevens “Influenza: The Musical” (2×21)
We Went to the Moon in 1969”
If you’re in the mood for some early 2000s nostalgia mixed with catchy earworms, this is the episode for you. It’s just over 20mins long, but the songs will stay with you for days.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer “Killed by Death” (2×18)
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I’ll pass.”

The 100 “I Am Become Death” (1×10)

Pretty Little Liars “Misery Loves Company” (3×16)
Did my Dad kill you?”
Hop into an episode of Pretty Little Liars to remember just how many random characters and plot this show burned through in its seven seasons. As an added bonus, you don’t have to worry about paying attention or dozing off during it because nothing will make sense anyways, but that’s half the fun.
