So Alien Resident of course, but I’m hoping there might be some other good shows.
I like non cringe humor sitcoms. Smart sitcoms generally.
Shows like Star Trek Strange New Worlds and Below Decks, but not Discovery or Picard.
I’m watching Fringe on HBOMax.
No reality TV.
Have you seen Brooklyn Nine-Nine? It is very good, especially starting in the second season, and it just moved to Peacock a month or so ago.
I don’t think there is much there, at least not original stuff, but you might like Rutherford Falls, a sitcom starring Ed Helms and produced and created by Michael Schur.
Does in get less cringe humor based after the first season?
Michael Schur of the Good Place right?
Sounds like it is worth looking into.
Yes, that Michael Schur. That’s a big reason I watched it. It was cancelled after two seasons, so even if you stick with it, that’s only eighteen episodes.
Thanks for the heads up! I’ve been hoping to watch Resident Alien.
He was also one of the main writers of The Office (American one). And if you watched that show, he played Dwight’s cousin Mose.
(He worked with Ed Helms over on that show too of course.)
He was also co-creator of Parks and Recreation and Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
He has one heck of a resume.
Peacock has all five seasons of the original Quantum Leap as well as the revival the day after it has aired.
One show my wife and I really enjoy on Peacock is AP Bio.
That’s on my watch list, I watch 1 episode earlier.
When it first came on I had watched the first 3 episodes.
I’m not much of a sitcom fan, but I remember, as a kid, that Caroline in the City was a must-watch for us that probably flies under the radar, especially nowadays.
I have it on my watchlist but I haven’t picked it back up, so I don’t know if it holds up in 2022.
All 48 seasons of SNL can be found on Peacock.
How about documentaries? There’s a good one about the history of NASCAR: “Lost Speedways” hosted by Dale Earnhardt, Jr. 16 episodes over two seasons.
They have the first four seasons of Yellowstone if you haven’t seen it.
What genre is Yellowstone?
Are you now or have you ever been a pro wrestling fan? WWE has pretty much their entire library on Peacock, which includes all of their pay-per-views past and present, thousands of episodes of Raw and Smackdown and other weekly shows, almost everything WCW and ECW ever committed to tape, some '80s territory wrestling from tape libraries that they own, and old Madison Square Garden house shows dating back to the mid-'70s.
You could lose yourself for months at a time in there.
Never wrestling. Thanks anyway.
Like Dallas, but with more explicit language. It stars Kevin Costner. New episodes air on the Paramount cable network.
I signed up too because my family has been bugging me to watch Yellowstone. I don’t care for it. It’s just too mean spirited and soap opera ish.
Luckily I enjoy Top Chef and so I am binging on those. That alone will make it worth the $20.00. I’ll be keeping an eye on this thread for ideas myself.
We get Peacock for free, I think. I’ve watched Premier League football and L&O reruns.
