A lot of people watch two different types of TV shows . . . the REAL shows they love, and then the shows that they have on in the background when they're busy dealing with . . . life.
These background shows are great for multitasking because they can be entertaining . . . even if you're only giving them about 20% of your attention. The people at "Business Insider" put together a list of 12 great mindless, background shows.
Here they are:
1. "20/20" . . . To satisfy true-crime obsessions, plus there's a lot of repetition.
2. "Futurama" . . . Witty sci-fi comedy, in simple self-contained episodes.
3. "Wife Swap" . . . It's good for this because it's structured and over-produced.
4. "The Real Housewives of Potomac" . . . Reality TV is great for ambient noise, and some people think this is the best of the "Real Housewives" shows.
5. "Emily in Paris" . . . The plot is fun, but pointless.
6. The "Charmed" reboot . . . Easy to tune in and out freely.
7. "Ted Lasso" . . . This one made the list for being REWATCHABLE as a background show. It's also not too complicated to follow.
8. "The Great British Baking Show" . . . It has a pleasant, relaxed vibe.
9. "The Great Pottery Throwdown" . . . Another wholesome, hobby-based competition show, similar to "The Great British Baking Show".
10. "Love on the Spectrum" . . . Considerate of individuals on the autism spectrum, and a lot of the action happens over conversations, so it's perfect to LISTEN TO while cleaning or working on something else.
11. "The Office" . . . It's filled with tons of jokes and quotable lines, so it's easy to tune in intermittently for a good laugh.
12. "Shark Tank" . . . It's easily digestible with several "pitch" segments in each episode, so it's workable even if you're in and out of the room.
