Some go to their parents for advice, others dive into literature and many go straight to television to find out how to deal with life. There&#8217;s something very reassuring\u00a0about reliving old episodes of your favourite TV shows, specifically those shows that helped get you through another aching day. The characters spoke to you, you felt the frustration and after the credits started rolling, you anxiously awaited the next episode so you could release all over again.\u00a0Here are eight meaningful TV shows that provided much needed support and won us over with their emotional chokeholds.[\/tps_header]<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>One Tree Hill<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/One-Tree-Hill.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-96311\" src=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/One-Tree-Hill.png\" alt=\"One Tree Hill\" width=\"810\" height=\"609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/One-Tree-Hill.png 810w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/One-Tree-Hill-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/One-Tree-Hill-150x113.png 150w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/One-Tree-Hill-768x577.png 768w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/One-Tree-Hill-395x297.png 395w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/One-Tree-Hill-600x451.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Where would we all be without Lucas, Brooke, Peyton, Nathan and Haley, really? Each character had their unique quirks and struggles, giving us the lessons of life we were in desperate need of. The plot line was brilliant and the music found on the <em>OTH<\/em> playlist was second to none, debatably the best from a TV show, ever. Acts like Dashboard Confessional, Nada Surf and Band of Horses are among the notable inclusions and their songs made the scenes bleed with even more emotion. Also, Bethany Joy Lenz&#8217;s (who played Haley) original tunes were perfect additions to the sentimental show script. Talented actors touching on subject matter like love triangles, suicides, teenage angst, addiction and heartbreak combined with hella cool music is the equation to a successful show, and this is one that gripped on so many levels.<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>7th Heaven<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/7th-Heaven.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-96308\" src=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/7th-Heaven.png\" alt=\"7th Heaven\" width=\"712\" height=\"547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/7th-Heaven.png 712w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/7th-Heaven-300x230.png 300w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/7th-Heaven-150x115.png 150w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/7th-Heaven-395x303.png 395w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/7th-Heaven-600x461.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 712px) 100vw, 712px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As WB&#8217;s biggest success story, <em>7<span style=\"font-size: 13.3333px;line-height: 22.2222px\">th<\/span>\u00a0Heaven<\/em> was a show that spoke on tough subjects through the lens of a Christian-focused family. Running for 11\u00a0seasons (the final season being aired on the CW), the show acted as a safe haven where good and bad choices were always discussed. Case in point: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JB24X05F0wI\" target=\"_blank\">this scene<\/a>. The core of the show was surrounded around the Camden household and the challenge of raising kids was presented both from a parental and a youthful approach.

Fred Savage played Kevin Arnold, the youngest of three siblings in a middle-class American family. Arnold&#8217;s character narrated each episode, giving an introspective understanding into the mind of a young boy. Even the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-Ob59hsRaFU\" target=\"_blank\">theme song<\/a> still gets me choked up, instantly catapulting me to my parent&#8217;s basement where I&#8217;d eat Cool Ranch Doritos and watch the show with my older brothers. Everyone knew of a guy like Wayne and there was always that girl like Winnie, not to mention a friend like Paul. The characters made for quality programming that made you sob, laugh, and reflect on your own life, and with a dad like Jack Arnold there was always quality entertainment.<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Gilmore Girls<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Gilmore-Girls.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-96310\" src=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Gilmore-Girls-850x425.jpg\" alt=\"Gilmore Girls\" width=\"810\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Gilmore-Girls-850x425.jpg 850w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Gilmore-Girls-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Gilmore-Girls-150x75.jpg 150w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Gilmore-Girls-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Gilmore-Girls-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Gilmore-Girls-2048x1024.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Gilmore-Girls-1255x627.jpg 1255w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Gilmore-Girls-825x412.jpg 825w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Gilmore-Girls-165x82.jpg 165w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Gilmore-Girls-840x420.jpg 840w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Gilmore-Girls-600x300.jpg 600w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Gilmore-Girls-610x305.jpg 610w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Gilmore-Girls-395x197.jpg 395w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Gilmore-Girls-288x144.jpg 288w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Gilmore-Girls-401x200.jpg 401w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a reason why there was such pandemonium when it was announced <a title=\"Gilmore Girls\u009d Releases Official Title\" href=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/pop-culture\/gilmore-girls-title\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Gilmore Girls<\/em><\/a> would be returning after a nearly nine-year hiatus, bringing with it four new episodes\u201dpeople actually <em>lived<\/em> for this show.

The emotional struggle between father and son combined with the unbelievable work synopsis made for drama at its finest. Then throw in an actress like Anna Torv and you get a trio that brings you on a rollercoaster of jolting moments and realizations, pushing and pulling those heartstrings and adding sound advice along the way. There was so much heart on this show, making for scenarios around death, love, abandonment, hopelessness, etc., that were fittingly helpful in explaining the workings of the inner self, all while the suspense was endlessly exciting to follow. Seriously, who didn&#8217;t let out a good cry while watching Walter and Peter try to learn to love one another? Or when Walter wrote that letter? Or when Olivia recalled her traumatic childhood?
