  • 30 Rock

    October 11, 2006

    Winner of multiple Emmy awards for both outstanding casting and writing for comedy, 30 Rock was created by Tina Fey and it shows. It’s a savage satire of the entertainment world and the off-kilter personalities that inhabit it. Funny enough, it’s based on Fey’s own experiences writing for SNL, another of our favorites for this list.

  • Friday Night Lights

    October 3, 2006

    Take a trip down memory lane and walk out onto the Dillon Texas high school football field. The game is the core of Friday Night Lights, but its heart and soul lies in the small town life that surrounds and sustains it. Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose.

  • Battlestar Galactica

    October 18, 2004

    Fans of sci-fi rejoice; the rebooted Battlestar Galactica (both the 2003 miniseries and the series immediately following) are available in their entirety on Peacock. Note that this version is a far cry from the 1970s cheese initially associated with this title. The reboot is sexy, scary, thrilling, emotional, and incredibly well acted. It encapsulates the fear we all felt in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks and the frayed society that followed. It’s got a killer soundtrack to boot. Kick back and prepare to take the fight to the Cylons.

  • Parks and Recreation

    April 9, 2009

    Parks and Recreation has become a cultural landmark for its memorable characters (Ron Swanson approves this statement) and witty dialogue. Turn on an episode and suddenly you’ve binged half a season! Be sure to have plenty of breakfast food on hand. Namely bacon.

  • Cheers

    September 30, 1982

    Peacock isn’t just a place to stream recent episodes of your favorite series. It’s also the home to classic TV shows like Cheers. Be prepared to throwback to all 11 seasons of Sam Malone’s bar in the ‘80s. This classic is timeless because the jokes focus on the characters and situations, not on current events. Drink up and be merry with the gold standard of sitcoms!

  • Saturday Night Live

    October 11, 1975

    If you’re looking for a ton of content for your dollar, Saturday Night Live’s 46 seasons on Peacock are an easy place to start! From Steve Martin and Jackson Browne to Bill Murray and Ringo Starr, to Adam Driver and Gal Gadot, the celebrity cameos are timely but the humor is timeless. Everyone’s got a favorite sketch. What’s yours?

  • Frasier

    September 16, 1993

    Created as a spin-off to Cheers (also on this list), Frasier continues the story of the titular character as he builds a new life reconnecting with his brother and father and working as a radio advice show host. This meticulously crafted comedy is packed with laughs. It won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy five years in a row! Frasier’s 11-year run is guaranteed to entertain.

  • House

    Dr. Gregory House, a drug-addicted, unconventional, misanthropic medical genius, leads a team of diagnosticians at the fictional Princeton–Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey.

Another throwback to the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, watch all four seasons of Zack Morris as he and his high school friends conspire and sew mischief on the poor principal, Mr. Belding. And check out Peacock’s Saved by the Bell reboot, starring most of the original cast and a whole new class of Bayside kids.
