Episode 118 🔥 TV’s Best Slow-Burn Romances: When the Wait Was Worth It 🔥 There’s something irresistible about a slow-burn romance on television. It’s that delicious buildup of tension, shared glances, witty banter, and the “will-they-won’t-they” tease that keeps us coming back season after season. These aren’t your instant hookups — these are the couples that earned their chemistry, took their time, and when they finally got together, it felt like magic. Let’s take a nostalgic stroll through some of the best slow-burn couples in TV history , the ones that made us scream at our screens, root for the kiss, and sometimes wait years for a payoff. 💔 Elliot Stabler & Olivia Benson ( Law & Order: SVU ) This duo redefined emotional intensity. Partners for over a decade, Stabler and Benson shared loyalty, trauma, and deep affection — all without crossing that romantic line for years. Fans waited literally decades to see a spark turn into something more. It’s not just chemistry; it...

Episode 116 TV Chemistry Without Closure – The Couples That Never Were Have you ever watched a TV show and thought, “Why aren’t they together yet?” or even worse— “Wait… they’re NEVER going to be together?” Yeah, me too. That feeling of watching two characters with electric chemistry flirt, fight, or share deep, vulnerable moments, only to see the show keep them apart (or pair them with someone else entirely) is one of the most bittersweet parts of being a fan. In my latest KDTime episode, “The What-Ifs of TV Couples,” I dove headfirst into the world of TV duos who had the spark, the tension, the moments—but not the relationship . This blog post is the perfect companion to that episode, expanding on some of the fan-favorite couples who gave us everything but the romance. 🔍 The Cases of Almost Love Let’s start with one of the most mind-bending duos: Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler from Sherlock . Their relationship was all mind games and meaningful stares. Sherlock admired Irene’...

Episode 110 📺 TV Shows That Deserved More Than One Season There’s a special kind of heartbreak reserved for TV shows that hook you in , make you care about the characters, and then vanish after one season. Whether it was low ratings, network politics, or just bad timing, some series never got the chance to reach their full potential. In this episode, I'm giving flowers to those one-season wonders that left us wanting more in a part two show that follows after episode 95. 🎶 The Get Down (Netflix, 2016) A Baz Luhrmann masterpiece dripping in 70s flavor, hip-hop history, and soul. The Get Down told the story of the birth of hip-hop in the Bronx with stunning visuals and a killer soundtrack. Despite its high production cost and uneven rollout, it had heart, swagger, and an authenticity that fans still rave about. Justice for Ezekiel and Mylene! 😂 Enlisted (Fox, 2014) One of the most underrated military comedies ever. It had charm, genuine laughs, and heartwarming moments. The bon...

 Episode 105 This week on KDTIME , I was joined by the insightful and always fun Sarah I. Fox to talk about something we all need from time to time — comfort shows and movies . These are the stories we return to when life is loud, overwhelming, or just a bit “meh.” They bring us joy, calm, nostalgia, or just the perfect distraction. Here’s what we discussed — along with a few more faves — to help you build your own comfort watchlist from the 2000s to today. 🎙️ Sarah I. Fox’s Comfort Picks 1.  Twilight & The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2008 - 2009) Whether you love it or love to laugh at it,  Twilight  is iconic. Sarah pointed out how the angst, the love triangle, and the  drama  of it all can feel like a nostalgic retreat to simpler (or spicier) times. She started with The Batman and wanted to see more of Robert Pattinson and here we are  2. Tangled  (2010) A radiant comfort movie if there ever was one! Sarah loves  Tangled  for its b...

Episode 80 In this episode, it’s time to run it back and hit those tv theme songs. This time I’m going to the 90s. Although I was definitely in my single digit ages I was still privy to hearing some iconic theme songs.  Tv Kid shows from the 90s Bear in the Big Blue House The Big Comfy Couch Boy Meets World Are you afraid of the Dark? Caillou Franklin Little Bear Rolie Polie Olie The Busy World of Richard Scarry Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Out of the Box Dinosaurs Teletubbies Dexter’s Laboratory Ren & Stimpy Pinky & the Brain Doug Little Bill Angela Anaconda The Amanda Show Madeline Cow and Chicken Wild Thornberrys Ahhh Real Monsters Courage the Cowardly Dog Angry Beavers Bananas in Pajamas Gullah Gullah Island CatDog Pippi Longstockings Most of the shows on this list were yes kids shows but that’s what I was allowed to watch. It wasn’t until I was older that I could watch shows like Roseanne, Felicity, Murder, She Wrote, Melrose Place, In Living Color etc. So i know of th...

 Episode 70 Musical episodes have not only struck fear in the hearts and minds of fans far and wide. Network execs have had their fair share of facial palms whenever writers bring up the subject. I’m sure a few tv shows might have popped into your mind by now. And I can say that most that’s on my list aren’t that bad. They were actually surprisingly really good. I think that when I watch a show that’s not known for singing or there isn’t any indication that they can sing and I’m surprised by it is nice. But if they just tossed one in there to shake things up I'm like ugh in the words of Phil from The Rugrats in Paris movie “I hates when they sing”.  Now before I continue. I’ll issue a spoiler alert here. And please note that if one of the shows you love, a personal favorite, is missing from the list understand this, 1 the shows mentioned are ones that i have in fact seen, 2 the musical episode from the show has to have multiple musical numbers, 3 the songs must be completely s...

Episode 62 So I definitely noticed in most tv shows the commonality of couples that get together are based on their work place relationships. And it dawned on me that it was weird that couples that we claim are ENDGAME were only together because they were thrust together via the workplace. While in my own dating life, I have only dated maybe a couple of guys based on being around them while at work. It seemed so common based on the shows I watched. But in reality, my friends, the parents of my friends, people in my groups and communities DID NOT date, have a relationship or get married and also worked together. Instead they met in various ways and kept the workplace separate. Unless one of the persons in the relationship owned a business and their partner would work with them that is completely different. My point is that majority of the shows I watch featured couples getting together based on proximity. Here's the list below of the ones from Tv. Tv Show Couples: Derek & Mered...

Episode 59 What’s important about blankets? By using a blanket it helps us to deal with our lower nightly core body temperatures. It also increases the serotonin and melatonin levels in our brain which helps relax us and fall asleep. Are you a hot sleeper? At some points while sleeping you feel too warm. Did you know that even if you are a hot sleeper you should still sleep with a blanket? Sleep experts and scientists have said that it has been ingrained in us practically since birth that most of us associate blankets with comfort, relaxation, bedtime, and sleeping. Do you find that you fall asleep faster when you are covered compared to being uncovered? If you are like me and you need something covering you in order to fall asleep you are in good company. Registered nurse Terry Cralle says sleeping while covered is in our brains from infancy, and therefore, it serves as a cue that it is time to sleep.  Okay here’s some facts. That familiar feeling of being “tucked in” there’s also...

 Episode 54 There are two that stand out to me as I’ve watched TV over the years and they are Geoffrey from Fresh Prince of bel air played by Joseph Marcell (1990) and Niles from the Nanny (1993) played by Daniel Davis. Which was more savage? Who gave the best advice? Just a couple of the questions we’ll use to compare the two. Here is the first round quotes from the show. Round 1: Snark/Savage When Will asked about a party  Will: “Yo, Are we having a party? We’re gonna get stupid right? Geoffrey: “For some of us, that will require very little effort indeed” When Carlton made a wrong assumption Carlton: Geoffrey, Will has been hypnotized! The great mentos made him think he’s four years old! G: Can he make me think I care? To Will “I’m so terribly sorry, Master William, there’s been a misunderstanding. Apparently, I gave you the impression that I really wanted to know. When G literally put bread on Carlton’s head C: "Geoffrey can you make me a sandwich" G: *places bread* ...

Twenty-Nine Leave a Voice Message and Get on the Show use the link 👇 https://anchor.fm/kdtime/message Squad up! Gang gang gang! Let me stop😂. A squad can best be described as a group, gang, or team and if you have several friends or people you hang out they are your squad. Your people, your posse, gang gang 😂. The people you like to keep in your inner circle have certain attributes and qualities to bring to the group. I have a tight knit circle that I love and they love me. I do my best to express my feelings and thoughts to them and we have a lot of fun.  Having any kind of friend group has it's advantages and disadvantages though because when you disagree with a least one person of the group and it isn't resolved it can cause big tensions. It's kind of funny how shows will have friends get over certain things quickly when in the real world that isn't always the case. Sometimes friends grow distant, but the ones who are meant to stay in your circle do and the ones w...

Episodes Twenty- Seven & Twenty-Eight  It was so nice I had to do it twice. Some people actually suggested these TV theme songs and others I wanted to include because they are dope. This is part two. This episode includes a short story of a vacation taken to Niagara Falls, Lake Placid, Vermont, and Massachusetts and nostalgia of good TV shows. Some of these shows just barely missed the first list in episode thirteen, but it was only so many I could fit so here we go again. This episode was so BIG that I had to split it in two. First half/Part One has the theme songs listed below and the second half/Part Two will be all about the drama and kid shows. Enjoy 👊 Similar to Kenan & Kel (from Kenan & Kel) Kenan: I'll need a microphone, a topic, and a platform and for you guys to meet me on Spotify. Kel: Awww Here it goes! Speaking of Spotify, this episode is available on there. Links are on the left :) Below lists the TV shows by cartoons, and sitcoms.  Cartoons: Batman ...
