What's the TV show you watch on repeat when you don't want to focus too much?

Mine is probably Gavin & Stacy, Brooklyn 99 or Friends 😁

@ToastofLandon have you seen Devious Maids? Not quite as good as desperate housewives but very similar style, I think it's on Disney+ at the minute.

I also love Real Housewives on as background noise while I cook or catch up on laundry. There is nothing as soothing as rich American ladies screaming at each other while being a poor english housewife doing mundane tasks! Grin

A bit of a weird one but mine is One Born Every Minute. I love the variety of family set ups and birth stories. And I'm always a sucker for crying Dad!

TheYearOfSmallThings · 31/08/2022 19:03

Poirot or Miss Marple, or Judge Judy.

Any sitcom really.
Schitts Creek

Or older British sitcoms like Blackadder, Father Ted, Only Fools and Horses.

If you guys love rich ladies screaming at each other then you need to watch Yummy Mummies, it's Australian drama at its best. I wish I had their problems😅
