51 TV Shows to Inspire Your 2019 New Year’s Resolutions

You’re about as likely to lose weight, stop drinking, sort out your finances and write the great American novel in 2019 as you are to marry Sasquatch on a moonlit beach ceremony and ride off on a unicorn, but it’s okay. Most people don’t keep the resolutions they make for the upcoming year but, no judgments. Just staying committed to finishing a whole season of a new show is hard; so, keeping the resolve to turn over a whole new leaf can be downright impossible. Still, the beginning of a new year is an opportune time to think about who you want to be and what you want to accomplish over the next 12 months, and a lot of times all you need to stick with it is a little help. Fortunately, your friends at TV Guide have figured out a way to make it a little easier and — surprise! — it involves watching more TV.
