You’re still you but you have to live in a fictional tv show, which one and why?

Changed my mind, Dinnerladies Smile

Sunset Beach. They all had amazing clothes, didn’t appear to have to work, and knew how to land aeroplanes in an emergency.

Buffy the vampire slayer. It would be a bit scary mind you!

ghostyslovesheets · 27/01/2024 20:41

Real Housewives - NYC (Bethenny seasons) or BH - I'm normally quiet sensible and you know, gown up and newsy but I am obsessed with shit reality TV

So that or Below Deck Australia - for obvious reasons

Heartland <3 I want to live on a ranch with a big happy family

ghostyslovesheets · 27/01/2024 20:45

Or if it has to be fictional Slow Horses, rocking a power suit, drinking scotch and handling spies with an evil twinkle in my eye

MrsMitford3 · 27/01/2024 20:45

The Durrells. Bliss

MrsMoastyToasty · 27/01/2024 20:46

Downtown Abbey. I'd be one of the posh folk.

The west wing
As a child (maybe even now) Sesame Street
All creatures great and small (old one)
Jeeves and Wooster

Am relieved someone else said Bluey because that makes me not the only one to choose a children's program.

Personally, I think I would be very happy in the Pokémon world. I could still be myself and catch some, mostly Grass type to make a garden with. And people all seem so nice there.

When I was a kid in the 80s I wanted to be in an American family sitcom location. Their houses all seemed huge and the weather often good.

Saying that am currently watching Dead to Me and am still coveting the properties and beach location. Jen’s house is lovely.

Notgoodatpoetrybutgreatatlit · 27/01/2024 20:52

I thought about Death in Paradise but I have watched every episode twice some three times and the murder rate is unacceptable.

St Marie has the highest murder rate in the world. On the other hand I would love to work in the police station as a civilian support officer. There is a vacancy now. But then again even the police are at risk of being the victim. Two of Neville's predecessors have been murdered.

Ally McBeal or Sex and the City.

1982mommaof4 · 27/01/2024 20:53

Only fools and horses.. I would be Del and Rodney's sister . I absolutely love the chaos and deep rooted bond they have. It makes me feels warm and cozy

Starreyskies · 27/01/2024 20:53

second Pokémon. Would still love a squirtle to train and have adventures with!

1982mommaof4 · 27/01/2024 20:54

Oh okay I have to be me. I'd work in the Nags head! 😂

TeamLoganHuntzberger · 27/01/2024 20:54

I came to instinctively say Gilmore Girls as my love of this show is so great it is genuinely part of my personality (in omnia paratus ☂️)
BUT if I think about it I am going with Hart of Dixie. I can think of nothing better than spending a night at the Rammer Jammer, being friends with Zoe, AB and Lavon…
Looks like it’s time for another rewatch 🤣

Tiredalwaystired · 27/01/2024 20:55

The Royle Family. Egg butties on tap, a regular supply of sweets from the corner shop, Anthony making me a cuppa and soooo much love in the room. Although I might not enjoy the stale cigarette smoke.

BestIsWest · 27/01/2024 20:55

Ted Lasso. I’d be best friends with Rebecca and Keeley.

Poppysmom22 · 27/01/2024 20:55

the big bang - they always have awesome looking takeaways

foxlover47 · 27/01/2024 20:55

Ab Fab
Or heartland

momager1 · 27/01/2024 20:59

Hot in Cleveland!!! As long as Betty White was still alive (rip betty) such a fun bunch of girls. Love Valerie Bertinelli and she has some awesome cooking shows now!

The Golden Girls

Definitely Golden Girls. Love Sophia: "Your heart's in the right place, but I don't know where the hell your brain is."

GeorgeSmileysSpecs · 27/01/2024 21:01

Loudermilk.

Because I love the music references, the characters are hilarious and I fancy the pants off Ron Livingston.

Northern Exposure
Gilmore Girls
Downton Abbey

I came on to say Northern Exposure! Loved that show.
