Watching TV is obviously a favorite pastime for many Americans, and Michiganders are no exception. With that in mind the staff at CenturyLink took it upon themselves to find out the most popular TV show in Michigan.

Specifically, CenturyLink looked at TV sitcoms, so the findings only include that category of TV viewing. To discover the most popular TV sitcom in Michigan, CenturyLink analyzed data from ScreenRant, Moms.com, and YardBarker to put together a list of the 30 most popular TV family sitcoms. Then, they put the 12 most popular shows into Google Trends to find the most searched sitcom in Michigan for the past year.

So, when it comes to Michiganders, what do we love to watch? It’s a classic: The Simpsons. We’re not alone, either, as The Simpsons was the most popular family sitcom for the entire U.S., according to CenturyLink.

On top of the Michigan finding, the report found that using 2020 data from Nielsen, there was a “substantial increase” in the time Americans watched family TV shows over the past year, to boot.

Some Reasons We Love Michigan in the Winter:

• Watching wildlife: Michigan has some beautiful wildlife in the spring and summer months, but the state also offers a plethora of winter wildlife that’s fun to watch, from birds to deer.

• Upper Peninsula fun: Plenty of people visit the Upper Peninsula during the warm months, but winter is also a great time to visit. You don’t have to fight the crowds, plus winter is extra beautiful Up North, thanks to all the fresh snow.

• Skiing, sledding and winter activities: As mentioned in the snow section of this post, if you love now, skiing and sledding, then Michigan is a great state to be in the winter. With so much of the white stuff, Michigan offers boundless opportunities to sled and ski all winter long.

• Winter fun with friends: Sure, the southern U.S. states avoid freezing cold temperatures, but what’s the fun of a fire pit in 70-degree weather? When it’s cold out, fire up the fire pit and invite friends over for a special experience.

• Watching winter sports: Can we say, “Hockey?!” Michiganders love their Michigan sports, and hockey is right up there. Let’s hope the Red Wings deliver this season.

• Hot chocolate: Whether you like your hot chocolate with marshmallows or whipped cream (Marshmallows for me!), winter in Michigan is the perfect time to enjoy a nice, piping hot cup of hot cocoa. If that’s not your thing, coffee works, too!
