The following are three shows you can watch On Demand when you need a distraction or laugh but can’t commit to a binge: The Lowe Files on A&E features the always adorable Rob Lowe and his two sons as they seek to solve long-time mysteries and spooky legends. Outdaughtered on TLC follows the Busby family and their adorable quintuplets. Don’t worry, this is no hate-filled Jon & Kate Plus 8. And finally, Sweet Home Oklahoma on Bravo is about the friendship between three women who truly like each other—no fighting like the Real Housewives of Fill-in-the-Blank!

She ends up leaving the church and marries at 19. Forced to return home with her husband 12 years later, she attempts to live with her odd parents. Lockwood is funny, and her writing makes you keep reading even though you should turn the lights off and go to sleep.
