When I'm at home, working, usually I have the tv on for noise. I focus better, actually.
I need a show that I can watch, but not really.
I've rewatched the following series...I can't do them a 3rd time. House Weeds MadMen Wonder Years GoT BoardWalk Empire The Sopranos Sex in the City The Tudors
There are a lot of series I want to actually watch (with DH)...so the following is out: OINTB House of Cards The Crown VEEP Breaking Bad (one season left) Sons of Anarchy Downton Abbey Better Call Saul
I'm up to date on the following Series and have no desire to watch them again: BBT Modern Family Scrubs Mike and Molly Friends Seinfeld
Totally out for weird reasons: Archer Walking Dead
In my cue, I have 3rd Rock from the Sun West Wing (not sure I can do that one
Suggest something!!!

You already named a bunch of suggestions I would have made. Here's a couple:
It's only 24 episodes or so so far but we enjoyed Grace and Frankie on Netflix (Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Sam Waterhouse, and Martin Sheen).
The Good Wife Madame Secretary The Middle

I do the same thing. I've done: Grey's Anatomy Private Practice Friends Frasier Cheers However, I do need new shows as I'll probably finish Friends today, and I need a break from the above too. Excellent timing with the thread.

There are enough versions and enough episodes to watch N.C.I.S. and C.S.I. and Law and Order for years without ever repeating an episode.

Jane the Virgin. Maybe I like it so much because everyone's hispanic, but it's a good show. Criminal Minds is good, although I don't know what's going to happen now that Hotch is gone. But it will take you a while to watch all 11 years to get current. Big Bang Theory is hilarious.

I've watched a lot of old stuff on Hulu. Below are listed a few that come to mind:
Wings (the comedy, not the history) Alfred Hitchcock presents Land of the Giants The Big Valley Mary Tyler Moore Rhoda

The younger generation of females in my family are all Gilmore Girls superfans. I've never seen the show, so can't speak to it...

We just watched all the episodes out so far for the Ranch on NetFlix. It started out a little weak, but got better. (Lots of F-bombs, though, so beware if littles are around.)

This would be my list of shows you should check out.
24-This is such a great series, but probably needs to be somewhat spaced out or it gets redudant. Watch one season, take a break, then come back to it.
White Collar-This is a USA show about a white collar criminal that is now helping the FBI. Great show, light hearted, and clever.
Suits-Another USA show about a guy with a photographic memory that is posing as a lawyer at a big law firm. Great show.
Royal Pains-Another USA show about a concierge doctor. Light hearted and funny.
The Good Wife-Good show for the initial 4-5 seasons, but then kinda lost interest.
Parenthood-Great show all around.
Gilmore Girls-Great show, especially the initial seasons.
Lost-This is a show that is really made for binge watching because it makes it easier to understand. I loved this show when it was on TV, but found it way easier to watch when I could just crank through episodes.
Current shows that you should watch:
Chicago Fire Chicago PD This is Us Modern Family Million Dollar Listing LA

ryan seems to be me, except I never watched 24 or The Good Wife.
Anything from USA - also add Psych and Monk to ryan's list.

Thanks All!
I was thinking about the Gilmore Girls as well..And Criminal Minds. After Mandy Patinkin Left, I stopped watching. And Frasier..
We are also up on Homeland.
I'd love to watch Pickett Fences or Northern Exposure. (Good God, I'm dating myself)...but that's only on DVD..

I am trying to figure out how to watch them with my mother and not have the kids bother me the whole time. I am going to see if my MIL will watch the boys as she doesn't care about it. I've waited a long time for this, dammit!

Ooh! I can't believe I almost forgot--Stranger Things on Netflix. It's awesome, especially if you grew up in the 80's!

ER Criminal Minds - kind of gets depressing The Good Wife Madame Secretary - loved this Private Practice - lots of swapping partners which I thought was kind of yucky.

I don't know that it's one you can watch but not watch. I didn't suggest Sherlock (BBC) because of that requirement.
