WARNING: Spoilers for TV during the week of Jan. 8

The Emotional Attachment TV list is made up of the shows, moments, episodes, characters, and social media posts that register on our impact scale. They either pack quite the emotional punch during any given week of television. Or they leave us feeling nothing.

The scale is from 10 to 1. Here’s an idea of the attachment levels. Anything in between is of varying degrees:

The Emotional Attachment Scale

10 — No attachment. Nada.
5 — Medium attachment. Bordering on High.
1 — Highly attached. Slightly obsessed. Tears may occur.

In episode 13, Elena gets the Quinceanera she fought against in the first episode. It’s beautiful and caters to the woman she’s becoming. The drama comes when her father exits the party early because he can’t accept his daughter is gay. Doesn’t matter. Her mom, brother, Schneider and Dr. Berkowitz are there to support in a group hug/dance for the ages. #TearsofJoy

After the announcement of Megyn Kelly moving from Fox News to NBC, fans are wondering if this is going to be it for the veteran soap. As far as we’re concerned, this cannot happen to the NBC show that’s been on air for longer than 50 years. #SaveDays

1 ABC’s Blackish serves up its election-centric “Lemons” episode.

It’s as if the Blackish writers recorded real-life conversations before and since Trump won the electoral college vote. The actors brought those words to life beautifully. #PacksaPunch
