As more and more Americans shelter in place during the coronavirus pandemic, what networks and shows are they turning to for comfort? Here’s a quick snapshot for Monday, March 30 through Thursday, April 2.

**Top Networks by TV Ad Impressions**

CBS takes the lead for TV ad impressions, but Fox News is on its heels, and two other cable news networks are also in the top ten: CNN and MSNBC. Unsurprisingly, HGTV and Food Network are on the list, in sixth and ninth place respectively, and Univision rounds things out at No. 10\.

**Top Shows by TV Ad Impressions (via iSpot)**

With a whopping 1.08 billion TV ad impressions, *Friends* takes first place. Reruns of the beloved sitcom ran across three networks this week (TBS, Nick@Nite and MyNetworkTV), with the majority of impressions occurring on TBS (573.8 million), followed by Nick@Nite (506.2 million). Four news programs make the top ten list as well, with Fox News’ *America’s Newsroom* in second place for impressions — with a substantially lower estimated spend than all the others.

**Most-Binged Time-Shifted Shows**

*Via* [*Inscape.tv*](http://inscape.tv/?ref=tvrev2beta2.ghost.io)*, the TV data company with glass-level insights from a panel of more than 14 million smart TVs. Note: the data are from timeshifted-detected sessions consisting of three or more episodes.*

Topping the list of shows based on minutes binged (as a percent of all binged shows that Inscape measured) is police procedural *Criminal Minds*, followed by fan-favorite *The Office*. Both of these frequently air in syndicated marathons, making them perfect for DVRing for future binge-watching. Also notable are the two kids’ shows: *Peppa Pig* and *Puppy Dog Pals*. With schools closed and parents doing double duty working from home and trying to keep their children entertained, it makes sense that these appear in the top ten. 

1. *Criminal Minds*
2. *The Office*
3. *Chicago P.D.*
4. *Blue Bloods*
5. *Friends*
6. *Peppa Pig*
7. *Puppy Dog Pals*
8. *The Big Bang Theory*
9. *Law & Order: Criminal Intent*
10. *Last Man Standing*
