Trying to Get Pregnant

What should I be watching to kill time?

I am currently (im)patiently waiting for my period to start so that I can start BBT and this will be our first cycle TTC. I need help killing lots of time this month (and potentially several of the coming months). What should I be watching on Hulu/Netflix? I've done Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Army Wives, One Tree Hill, Devious Maids, Gossip Girl, Gilmore Girls, and Breaking Bad. I tried to watch Orange Is the New Black and I did not enjoy it. What shows are you loving? Thanks Everyone  :)

Re: What should I be watching to kill time?

  • Give The Office and Parks and Recreation a shot! I've fallen in love with all of the characters from both shows!
  • I recently just got caught up on Scandal and it is really good.

  • Homeland and Game of Thrones were my two most recent binge watches, although you'll have to download them because they aren't on netflix or hulu....  If we are strictly talking those venues, I'd recommend Bobs Burger, How I Met Your Mother, Friends.... :)

  • Nashville is my favorite. Have heard really good things about game of thrones too. I am enjoying Aquarius right now but not sure if it is on Hulu yet...you have to really pay attention to little details or you can become easily lost on the story line. Sons of Anarchy seems to be a hit with lots of people as well.

  • I've been watching Bachelor in Paradise (no spoilers- need to watch this week's eps still) and old episodes of America's Next Top Model. I do really like OITNB so I'm sad you didn't like it- it is kind of intense and a bit of a slow burn though so I get it.

    If you ever saw the movie Wet Hot American Summer, the new TV show on netflix is a hilarious counterpart to it. Definitely watch the movie first before you see the show.

  • I just finished watching all of Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown.  It's awesome if you're into culture and food.  I've also been watching a zillion WWII and other history documentaries.  And I signed up for Kindle Unlimited that I've been using on my iPad so I've burned through a ton of books and discovered some new authors that I love.
  • I loved Private Practice! 
  • I second Wet Hot American Summer and House of Cards. Bojack Horseman is also good- animated series on netflix, took me a few episodes to really get into but ended up liking it a lot
  • The Big Bang Theory, Friends, Parks and Rec... On a more serious note, Madam Secretary and Sherlock (on the BBC).

  • I'm reading GOT and I'm on A Feast For Crows too! I've slowed down lately (its a bit heavy to read in hot weather, you think?) but I've been itching to get back to it.

    I agree with PP suggestion of Friday Night Lights(so good! I watched this one right after I got done with Army Wives and I really liked both. I guess in my mind they're sorta similar tones although I might be making that up.) 

    Also, The Fosters is a good ABC-Family show, and I love 30 Rock. 

    I just got done watching Californication.  Its...disturbing but engrossing. 

    I'm going to go check out Bloodline per PP suggestions. ;)

    Edited to Ask: I forgot that Bloodline was the newer Kyle Chandler Netflix show--so it gets good, huh? 
    I've tried to watch the first episode and couldn't get into it.  But I've loved Kyle Chandler since Early Edition so I want to like it.

    Parenthood and Friday Night Lights are the best shows I have watched on Netflix in awhile, even quite possibly ever. I also really like Once Upon a Time!
  • I'm currently watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I never watched it when it was on. Also, two of my favorite shows of all time are on Netflix: Mad Men and Lost!

  • I would agree with what everyone else has said. Some of my favorites are: Parks & Recreation, Parenthood, Game of Thrones (also read all the books. George! Release the last book darnit!) How I Met Your Mother, Friends, Grace & Frankie.

    I thought Scandal was meh. I'm into Shonda for the first season of something, then fall off. Even though you didn't like Orange Is The New Black, I liked it a lot. I also read the diary the show is based on, and liked seeing the differences. :)

    Holy crap!! I didn't know Buffy was on Netflix! You just made my day! lol


    I also vote for Parks and Rec, 30 Rock, The Office, GOT, House of Cards, and one of my faves is Suits! Totally have huge crushes on both those guys, lol.
  • @laurenncrosss I'm so sad that they canceled the Carrie diaries! :(

  • Parenthood. Binge watched it a few months ago when I was sick with the flu. Fell in love with that show.
