I know it’s not network TV but FX (on HULU) has my new favorite sitcom. English Teacher. It’s so great and clearly aimed at Gen-X with all the 80s music. Planning on writing about that one?

Great post and fantastic competition idea, though my mind is blank, apart from two songs that my husband has swapped out food references (not really what you're going for, I'd reckon). Missy Higgins' "Where I Stood" (I don't know, who eats ham..) and Bette Midler's "Beast of Burden" (I'll never be your beef burger). 😂

Ok stay tuned for a 🎁 You’ve earned it. Also I love that Missy Higgins’ song. 🎵 I listened to it all the time back in the day. Once again proving we are really the same person many time zones apart

Love Sweet Dee. I’m not being hyperbolic when I say The Mick is one of the best shows ever made

LOVED the British "Ghosts" but haven't really viewed much of the American version. I may have gotten too connected to the characters in the original. The only network shows I watch are Abbott Elementary and Saturday Night Live. There are too many quality series and movies on streaming platforms to watch!

Thanks Dan! And I almost added SNL (which premieres this Saturday for the season) because it’s consistently a show I watch. That and sports and sometimes news.

Thanks for the tips Beth, will add Moonflower Murders to my watch list, loved the first one. Proper 'sunday evening murder'. 👏 🍿

Thanks Kate! Definitely check it out. I was just recommending to a family member via phone. It’s just spectacular and a cozy Sunday evening treat - a la “Murder She Wrote” I think that Manville’s fashion warrants a post topic altogether. I couldn’t pull off the fashion but it’s honestly one of the things I look forward to as I watch. Much more so than “Emily in Paris” even. Think I’m transitioning to hip bi-coastal grandma phase officially

Have you seen 'Mrs Harris goes to Paris'?

Also, starring Manville and so much better than Emily in Paris. 👏

I quite enjoy the constraints it has on storytelling.

High potential's trailer had already caught my attention and this makes me want to watch it even more. Ghosts also seems like it'd be right up my alley. I just wish it wasn't so difficult to stream some of those shows in the Netherlands...

I'm blank on the song challenge for now but I will get back here if anything comes to me 😂
