Whether it’s the flu, a stomach bug or a broken leg, being sick sucks. If there’s one silver lining to having to stay home and rest up, though, it’s getting the change to catch up on your favorite shows and movies on streaming.

Of course, when you’re sick there are a few slight problems. You might be hopped up on cold medication to handle a complex plot. You don’t want to watch something serious and get bummed out about your illness. You definitely don’t want to watch Outbreak.

We’re here to help. We get that you want to watch stuff that’s fun, funny and comforting. So, we’ve compiled a list of 10 titles on streaming that will keep you in good spirits even if you’re not feeling so good.

‘You’ve Got Mail’

Cozy up with a blanket, a cup of tea and Nora Ephron’s most delightful romantic comedy: You’ve Got Mail. It’s not just a smart remake of The Shop Around The Corner; it’s a perennially comforting ode to love and friendship. [GoWatchIt]

‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’: Seasons 1-4

The early seasons of Keeping Up With The Kardashians are mindless, pulpy fun and absolutely fascinating to watch today. Could we have predicted that Scott and Kourtney would still be together years later? That Kim would marry Kanye? That the Kardashians would take over the world? No, no and certainly not. [Netflix]

‘Heroes’: Season 1

People forget how epic the first season of Heroes was. It had tightly written plots, great characters and heroes you could believe in. It’s an absolute perfect sick day bingewatch (and I’m not just saying that because I original bingewatched the show when I was sick in bed with the flu). [Netflix]

‘America’s Next Top Model’

A friend of mine once described America’s Next Top Model like this: “16 girls are put in a house and told the prettiest one wins.” While that’s completely accurate, America’s Next Top Model is also a delightful and deranged look into the psyche of supermodel Tyra Banks. Don’t believe us? Watch her narcissism evolve over the course of 20 seasons. [Hulu Plus]

‘Parks and Recreation’

If you’re feeling cooped up in your house, it’s probably time to take a visit to the very fictional and very funny city of Pawnee. Amy Poehler is impossibly great in this hilarious ensemble sitcom that doesn’t get nearly as much mainstream love as it should. [Netflix]

‘Bob’s Burgers’

If you haven’t started watching Bob’s Burgers yet, the first three seasons are available to stream on Netflix. The animated series is not only insanely witty, but also quite heartwarming. [Netflix]

‘The I.T. Crowd’

Whether you’re over The Big Bang Theory or dying for more, it’s time for you to check out The I.T. Crowd. The workplace sitcom about three extremely different people who work together in an I.T. department was wildly popular in Great Britain and is what made Chris O’Dowd a star. [Netflix]

‘Pushing Daisies’

When you’re sick, it’s easy to feel like a social pariah because no one wants to get near you or your germs. But at least you don’t have Ned the Pie-maker’s problem: he can bring people back from the dead with a single touch, but he also sends them back to the grave with another touch. It’s this blessing (and this curse) that drives the plot of the delightfully quirky series, Pushing Daisies. [Amazon Instant Video]

‘The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes’

Sure, you could marathon all of the existing Marvel movies, or you can just stream The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes on Netflix. The animated series is a perfect hybrid of Marvel’s modern film philosophy and its classic comic book storytelling style. [Netflix]

‘The Muppets Take Manhattan’

Do we really have to sell the Muppets to you? Okay. The Muppets make everything better. Go watch The Muppets Take Manhattan. [GoWatchIt]
