One of the best ways to end your day is laughing (duh) and Modern Family definitely brings the laughs. Season seven ended in May, but don’t worry, it’ll be back in the fall with more antics, both modern and familial, from our favorite upper-middle class Southern California suburbanites.
- The Night Manager (AMC)

This miniseries follows a hotel manager turned spy as he tries to take down an international arms dealer. No spoilers, but it’s based on a novel of the same name by John le Carre.
- New Girl (Fox)

Almost everyone can relate to Jess’ awkwardness in New Girl, so, of course we’re going to indulge in it. The finale featured Schmidt and Cece’s marriage (OMG) and the series has been renewed for a sixth season so the antics will ensue soon enough.
- Silicon Valley (HBO)

- Game of Thrones (HBO)

You were probably waiting for Game of Thrones show up on this list. It was actually the most-watched television program in the entire United States of good ol’ America in May, and for good reason. Who doesn’t love interwoven plot lines, political drama, incest, violence, giants, swords, inexplicable cross-country travel times and that sexy bastard Jon Snow totally being alive again?
