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. > [@Any good shows on Peacock?

Where the breaks normally come, we get 30 second, 45 second or 1 minute breaks instead of the 2.5 minute break every time. It’s not bad for $20 for 12 months. But it isn’t commercial free. I would guess a “hour long” show has 6 breaks for a total of around 4.5 minutes of commercials. ---

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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutherford_Falls)_, a sitcom starring Ed Helms and produced and created by Michael Schur. ---

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. ---

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. ---

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. ---

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. ---

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. ---
