Netflix TV Suggestions

In Canada our Netflix selection is often quite different, we have a few more movie options, but WAY less TV Shows. Especially crummy is that there are no TLC or E! shows on the Canadian version. How am I supposed to Keep Up With The Kardashians? or check in on the Extreme Couponers? 

If you're looking for recommendations here are a few, available in Canada and the US, I've enjoyed lately! 

House, MD

Ok, he's a jerk, but his one liners get me laughing, hard. It's like a combination of the offensiveness of Family Guy with the cool medical jargon from Grey's Anatomy. Plus, the cast is pretty fabulous - they've gone on to work at the White House and star on hit TV Shows (Chicago Fire & Once Upon A Time). 

Family Guy

I will admit, this show is terrible. It is so offensive, all the time - yet it's randomness and their musical montages are entertaining every once and a while. Some of the episodes I have to shut off, I just can't handle where they take it . Most of the time though, I just laugh at the Meg jokes and at everything Stewie says. I won't be offended if you judge me for this. 

Friday Night Lights

I am secretly a football fanatic, so this show filled my need to yell instructions at tiny players on the TV screen. It's a great show, completely addicting and enjoyable even if you don't really like football. Coach & Mrs. Taylor's relationship is perfection, it's worth watching just for their dynamic. 

Breaking Bad

I know, I'm about 6 months late on the Breaking Bad excitement. I started watching it two years ago, but lost interest- this year I got back to it and it's actually pretty good. I won't spoil it, but I found the ending very satisfying, I was worried I'd be disappointed. 

Gossip Girl

I've been a fan of this since I was a teenager reading the books. The books were good but the show is so much better! I can't get enough of Blair & Chuck or the season when Hilary Duff guest stars! 

Dawson's Creek

I loved this when it originally aired, and then during re-runs, finding it on Netflix was like a dream come true. While their lives aren't really believable for teenagers it's an entertaining show and great for binge watching!

The Good Wife

Again, late to the game for this one but it's so good. I was expecting some stuffy lawyer-y show without the human interest but instead it was a few fancy lawyer moments but lots of drama to keep my attention. They also sneak in funny songs (not like musical episodes) but jingles and joke videos quite often which was awesome! 

Nashville

I binged watched this one for sure. I'm not the world's biggest country music fan, but I love this show. The music is catchy and the plots have a flair for the dramatic. It's addictive and there are lots of gorgeous country boys to check out in every episode. Plus Mrs. Taylor from Friday Night Lights stars, and she is just as likeable in this show!

Scrubs

Hilarious. Up until the last season, it was extended a year too long and you can tell. But up until the end of Season 8 it's awesome. Witty and honest. I just loved it. But seriously, quite after Season 8! 

My Boys

It's been a while since I watched this one, but basically the premise is a girl whose best friends are all guys. Kind of similar to New Girl, but on My Boys she's more one of the guys. It's not particularly deep but I enjoyed it and the whole series is available! 


Hopefully some suggestion on this list helps you out. Do you have any suggestions for me, any shows I've missed? 

Keep Smiling :)

July Obsessions

I know, I am totally wishy-washy on my blogging style but I want to try and connect with other bloggers again while continuing to share our life adventures with friends back in NS of course! I just love writing and our daily lives aren't always interesting enough to warrant a new post. 

Today I want to share some of the things I'm loving this month, feel free to share some of your obsessions in the comments!

I'm about 5 years to late in realizing how awesome the tv show Greek is, but seriously it's pretty good for a show targeted at teens. I've been watching it on Netflix and I'm almost through all 4 seasons. I'd recommend it for light summer watching!

I've been obsessed with Toms for about a year now, but Jay got me a grey pair earlier this Spring and they might be my most favourite! They match everything, are super comfy and lightweight and for whatever reason make me smile every time I look at my feet.

We went to see The Heat last weekend and despite so-so reviews I thought it was hilarious! Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock are fabulous on their own, together they are just perfect. I think they should work together from now on!

I mentioned these Peanut Butter Squares once before but they are so delicious I am still obsessed. I made another batch, half PB & regular graham cracker crumbs and half with chocolate graham cracker crumbs. They are amazing. I've eaten 10 in less than 24 hours, if they weren't so good I'd be ashamed.

I've also mentioned this song before but I still can't get enough of Inner Ninja by Classified & David Myles. Both are east coast boys and I love their work separately but together they are unstoppable. 

I am usually not a fan of TED talks (or video games) but I recently watched this one by Jane McGonigal who designed a computer game called Super Better that helps you find ways to be happier and improve your life essentially. It is a really cool concept, for me to pay attention during a TED talk it must be good! 

Keep Smiling :)
