ProudGrandma Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) We have Netflix, Hulu and Amazon. I feel like i have watched all of the shows I might possible like and I can't find anything more. I started some that I thought I might like, but just couldn't get into them...but maybe I didn't give them enough time...but I hate tolerating a show just to see if it's any good. These are the shows I have watched over the years and really liked...is there anything left for me? Heartland When Calls the Heart Gilmore Girls Royal Pains Night Shift Hart of Dixie Parenthood Drop Dead Diva Grey's Anatomy Switched at birth Doc Martin Master Chef (reg and Jr) ER (still watching this...but I am getting bored with just one show) Private Practice Friday NIght Lights The Good Wife I am sure there are more, but that gives you a good idea as to the kind of stuff I like. I prefer medical over detective shows. I do not like anything gory. Nor do I like sci-fi or sit coms. I like dramas that have a nice mix of good comedy...like Gilmore Girls or Drop Dead Diva. thank you for your suggestions and please tell me where I might find your suggestions.

MeaganS Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) Detectorists- British, quiet, chill, but also funny. Scrubs--More comedy but with a fair amount of drama. Plus my physician dh says it's the most accurate portrayal of medicine on TV he's seen. Maybe consider something Joss Whedon? Firefly, Angel, Buffy, etc? Firefly is a good start. Drama, well done, but a fair amount of comedy. It's sci-fi but very accessible sci-fi. Parks and Recreation. A comedy but a story-driven comedy. It's one of my go-to feel good shows.

MeaganS Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Detectorists are on Amazon and Netflix. Scrubs is Hulu. Parks and recreation is Netflix. I'm not sure where Whedon's shows hang out these days. They get moved around a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Marmalade Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Not sure if these are streaming anywhere, but they are dramas, I really enjoyed them, and I don't see them on too many lists as recommendations: Men In Trees Everwood The West Wing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Florida. Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I know you said you don't prefer detective shows but Take Two on Hulu is cute. It's a currently airing show on ABC, so all of the episodes aren't there yet. A private detective and a recovering addict actress (think Lindsey Lohan but cuter and sweeter) team up. It's a combination detective show, dramedy, buddy show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OH_Homeschooler Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I think you will love Call the Midwife. It's on Netflix (a BBC show, airs on PBS in US). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angie in VA Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I have quirky taste in movies and TV, and while it's a little blue, I love The IT Crowd. Chris O'Dowd slays me! And Moss! I ? Moss! A friend got me and another friend hooked on The Americans. Not for the faint of heart! Last I checked all 6 seasons are on Amazon Prime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liz CA Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Not sure if any of your providers have it but "Monarch of the Glen" (aired from 2000 - 2005) is rather funny and entertaining. Since you have Doc Martin on your list, it is in a similar vein. Another one is "Ballykissangel." Both are British productions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
