Valentine's Day Episode Date

Not all of us are hopeless romantics. On the first Valentine's Day I celebrated with my (now) husband I bought him a gift I knew he needed: a pair of shoes. Nothing says romance like suede, am I right?

Clearly when it comes to Valentine's Day my husband tends to be the more romantic one.  Sometimes I would just rather spend a nice evening together instead of make grand romantic gestures. But when I think about it, much can be said for both. Grand romantic gestures can shake up a relationship while quality time together can ground a relationship.

For this date, I wanted to give others like me an option to celebrate Valentine's Day without making a fuss. So if you're not into flowers, candy hearts, teddy bears, and balloons, don't panic. Your Valentine's Day can still be fun and full of love. Try this low-key date at home and simply enjoy the presence of your special someone, as well as your favorite TV characters.

Here’s how it works: stream the Valentine’s Day episodes of your favorite TV shows. In between episodes, answer one of the questions on the cards. That’s it! Who knew that Valentine’s Day could be so simple?

We’ve given you some suggestions below. Some of them are Valentine’s Day episodes, some of them are just the ones where your favorite characters finally get together. If you don’t know where to start, we say try any Valentine’s Day episode of 30 Rock. Liz Lemon will get you rolling on the floor laughing.
