Haven't had one of these in a while!
What are some of your favorite TV shows? Bonus points for shows on Nexflix/Hulu/etc that we can binge watch while up during those MOTN feedings...

Re: GTKY: TV Shows
ETA: Each "season" of Catastrophe is only 6 episodes, which is super annoying!
Highly monitored internet and no cell service in the office, so I'm postin' and ghostin' while I'm workin'
Other shows I watch/have watched:
- Bates Motel (such a good series, just ended in April)
- America's Got Talent (only talent show type of show I will watch, it's fun and different!)
- Into the Badlands
Everything else I watch is half-hearted. Discovery Channel shows like Deadliest Catch and Gold Rush Alaska.

We have also been binge watching Parenthood on Netflix and I am so obsessed.
I also like binge watching House Hunters, HH Int'l, HH Renovation, etc. Walking Dead is my jam. Parenthood is excellent. My 600 lb life is fascinating. DH just recently got me to start watching 7 Little Johnstons and it seems pretty entertaining.

@GlitterFish Catastrophe is so good! The end of season 3 made me sad, though
@maybeitsmadeline House Hunters is like crack. We don't have cable, but we got Sling TV to watch the NBA playoffs and I have been taking full advantage of binge watching House Hunters lol.

@rae1-3 You've got good taste! We've/I watched/watch those all too!
@maybeitsmadeline I
I'm currently watching Jane the Virgin and with H we're watching Blue Bloods
HH is definitely like crack. I could watch it all day long, but DH gets bored after a while.

Our DVR died a few months ago (twice) and so I missed a bunch of shows I was watching and just never got back into them and realized my life wasn't so bad without them. Those were mainly Teen Mom and The Challenge.
I try to keep up with The Bachelor/ette/BIP.
For you The Office lovers - I just never loved it! I binged watched on Netflix but couldn't get through the last two seasons. I thought I'd love it bc I have the same sense of humor that my friends have who love that show but I just didn't think it was that great. I really wanted to love it.
@ginger1228 I know a lot of people hated it after Michael left and stopped watching
Personal favorites of mine are Seinfeld, Downton Abbey, pretty much anything on TLC, and Teen Mom/16 and Pregnant (Talk about guilty pleasure- DH is repulsed that I can watch it.)
There are also a couple of BBC shows we love--Sherlock and Endeavour. Each season of those is usually four 1.5-hour episodes. Endeavour is a prequel series to Inspector Morse, if you've ever heard of that, but I haven't ever seen it and don't feel like I'm missing anything.
Anyone else a fan of Anne of Green Gables, and have you watched the new Netflix series?
@ginger1228 I had a hard time finishing The Office too... I think it was years before I watched the last two seasons.
If if you want something good but pretty depressing, try Rectify. I think it was on Sundance but it's over now and on Netflix. Also on Netflix, Kimmy Schmidt is great!
I tend to wait for my Hulu favs and just get it for a month and binge. That's what I plan on doing when the baby is born, catching up on Mindy and Casual. Also want to watch Handmaids Tale (I'm reading it right now).
We also like Veep, Silicon Valley and Game of Thrones (H reads the books, I resisting watching for a long time but I finally gave in and really enjoy it).
I completely forgot about OITNB! Can't wait for the new season!

... I think that's it? I used to watch Hell's Kitchen and MasterChef but not as much lately. And I never could get into the hgtv shows. My sister loves them so I'll watch them when I'm at her house but it's never something I chose for myself. Except when I used to do night float shifts my intern and I would watch tiny house hunters mostly to make fun and marvel at how small those houses can get.

I used to binge watch HGTV and Food Network but I no longer have cable so it's just streaming for me.

Favorites we watch together are: House of Cards (new season next week!!!), Game of Thrones, Veep, West Wing, How I Met Your Mother, Friends, the Americans
We watched Grey's for years, but for some reason I can't handle medical drama while pregnant.
We have grand plans of rewatching Battlestar Galactica during our parental leave. It's hard to watch that show without binge watching!
The only show I'll watch as it airs is The Walking Dead, but I'm actually getting a little bored with it. I still haven't seen the last 3 episodes of the previous season and I'm just like "meh" about it. I need a new show to watch. @rae1-3 how do you keep up with all those shows!?
I really want to watch Handmaids Tale but we don't have Hulu. I don't really like anything funny (except The Office), and I'm more into sci-fi or crime shows. On Netflix I loved Making a Murder, the Amanda Knox documentary, and Stranger Things. On TV I love watching reruns of Law and Order: SVU. I also binge-watch the Chopped marathons on Food Network and same with Fixer Upper on HGTV.

+1 on not having cable so we just choose one show at a time on netflix and binge for a few weeks. All time favorites: Lost, Parks and Rec, The Walking Dead, Dexter, Friends, Frasier, Breaking Bad, The West Wing, Gilmore Girls, and anything Shonda writes (HTGAWM, Scandal, Grey's, Private Practice). I also love Chopped and The Property Brothers and miss cable because we can't watch those as often anymore!
+1 to all the GOT, Orange is the New Black, Walking Dead, Handmaid's Tale, Orphan Black, Lucifer fans.
I also like Underground and Schitt's Creek. I thought Deadbeat was hilarious too but sadly Hulu cancelled it.
my happy boy
I watch Grey's Anatomy, Jane the Virgin, Reign and Star (which ended a bit ago).
On Netflix we binge watch Stranger Things, Bones, NCIS, and now have moved on to watch The Blacklist. So good!!
My husband and I don't agree on TV that much, but we will both watch SVU, Chopped, Iron Chef America, Bob's Burgers, and South Park. We'll also hate-watch and snark on Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives (Guy Fieri is a d-bag, sorry not sorry). We both loved Stranger Things. He won't binge-watch, though. It took us six months to get through Stranger Things.
I'm a big fan of Scandal and HTGAWM, both of which are on Netflix. I fell in love with The West Wing last summer, and may re-watch during maternity leave. I loved The Newsroom when it was on HBO, so I guess I'm a Sorkin fan, although he could work on how he portrays women. Right now I'm making my way through Friday Night Lights (mmmm Tim Riggins).
@lanie1000 I SYTYCD staying a kids show? I thought it was a one-season deal.
In addition to those ^^, I like GoT, Scorpion, Big Bang, and the X-Files a lot.
A lot of my favorites are over, like Bones, Dexter, Grimm, Rizzoli and Isles...
There are some that I was really into, but lately I'm "meh" on them...Grey's, Designated Survivor, Quantico, SVU...

@hyperangel_8509 I know! I'm such a bad fan. There's just too many characters now! I wish it was just back to the original group, but I know the show needs to progress in some way haha. I'm still going to try and get caught up and most likely watch the premier in October.
We love watching reruns to burn time (and new episodes where applicable) of modern family, Big Bang and parks and rec. We also watch the hgtv stuff, the flip and move Is our favorite and real crime tv like first 48 hours and lockup.
The only shows we really watch, as in we record and set time aside for are GoT, this is us, and Stranger Things. When I am alone I have been watching handmaids tale, anne of green gables and trying but failing to get into a new series or two.
otherwise I watch Criminal Minds and Grey's Anatomy

ALEXANDER JAMES DUE JULY 15th!
We also love Stranger Things and Orphan Black! We watch so much TV
@OperaSingerMommy I watched an episode of the new Canadian series and didn't love it, but Anne With an E on Netflix is better! I've only watched one episode--there are some plot changes and it's a little more dark, but I kind of like that. Haven't seen GB yet and I'm not sure how anyone could beat Jonathan Crombie.
@greenbean-2 LOVE Battlestar Galactica. We'd been binging it before our wedding and ended up spending a significant portion of our (rainy) honeymoon finishing the series. Parental leave sounds like a great time to blast through it!
