If you have prime the HBO show Bored to Death is a good show to watch. Its about stoners solving mysteries.

Netflix JUST axed Robocop 2 and 3 unfortunately.

I had completely forgotten about the show Grounded for Life until it popped up recently.

I may be just watching out of nostalgia, but it's a pretty serviceable sitcom if you ask me. I consider it right at like, the death of sitcoms? You know, before Everybody Loves Raymond and the rest of the "after-death" sitcoms. I'm not explaining what I mean well, but sitcoms for the last 10 years feel like vestigial zombies of the genre.

Anyway, I think Grounded for Life is full of all that 90's sitcom garbage that hasn't aged well, but it's also got a lot going for it. The casting is great, and there are some good gags in every episode. It goes from being a "lol 90's" show to one with more modern references by the end. It's just kind of a weird hybrid show I think. And Uncle Eddie is one of my favorite sitcom characters.

If you just want an upbeat show to just have on that you don't have to overfocus on, it fits that bill. I also had completely forgotten how big Donal Logue was for a few years.

Its an extremely good background noise sitcom.

Adventure Time was removed. Now what am I going to watch when I wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall back asleep?

I may be biased becauseI really like it as a show in general, but psych always helps me fall asleep

Yeah, I used to just dismiss Legit but gave it a shot after a friend recommended it and really liked it. Aside from the raunchiness it also has a lot of heart. I can't really think of anything else that treats disabled characters the way that show did; whenever Rodney would show up you knew poo poo was gonna be good.

rodney is the man

I was freaked out by Jurassic Park when I was that age, so you are looking at some pretty extensive therapy bills if you do it. Totally worth it though.

My Netflix has a "watched by Bojack Horseman" category that's nothing but TV porn, animal specials, and a fake entry for "Horsin Around."

I laughed.


They do the same things with Arrested Development characters as well. I've seen both "watched by GOB" and "watched by Buster Bluth" sections

Legit is hilarious. It's a sitcom in the vein of Louis, but with comedian Jim Jefferies. The humour is very crass and is chock full of the word oval office. Unfortunately there's only two seasons but it's well worth the watch.

I'd like to point out that while legit is raunchy as hell, it's also pretty drat sweet at times.

There's a decent amount of stuff on Canadian Netflix that isn't on American Netflix

N'thing better off dead. I still try to shove in Veridian Dynamics into any business class I take.

Midnight diner: Tokyo stories Netflix original about a late-night diner. Each episode is a stand alone episode revolving around a customer. It's a perfect mix of comedy/drama/sometimes surreal and extremely charming.

Edited to add its subtitled Japanese if that matters to anyone

Its pretty great. The manga is one of my favorites, and the tv series does it complete justice. Great Characters, stories, and the food always looks pretty tasty.

Legion is extremely good. You should watch it before it expires off Hulu

I wish they had a "watching reruns" mode where you can pick a bunch of shows and have it play episodes at random until further notice.

or, just let us make playlists of episodes.

I’m trying to find a good show to put on as background noise while I fall asleep. I usually go for stuff like Mythbusters or How It’s Made for that kind of thing, but Hulu is missing most of the old episodes. Any suggestions?

If you have amazon prime I watch Psych to fall asleep. Its not mechanical but there's something about it.
