We liked Parenthood. What should we watch next?

DH and I grew up somewhat sheltered, so fairly clean shows are our preference.

We just finished watching Parenthood together on Netflix. It was nice to have something relaxing to do that takes less than an hour.

Here are my criteria for a new show, please help me find one!

- Contemporary, nothing that took place years ago

- No guns or blood or policemen or violence or detectives (I know, I just knocked out 99% of shows, but all that stuff scares me)

- Reminiscent of real life. Like Parenthood. Nothing too weird or sci fi or unrealistic.

Does anything like this exist?

By the way, we watched Everyone Loves Raymond a few years back, and I loved it. DH tolerated it because he liked how much it made me laugh. The mom was so similar to my mother!

Master of none. First episode is more dirty than the rest of the show, and turned me off, but I really like the show after the first episode

I really like The Middle. Comedy, very realistic. Lower middle class family just trying to live and not always getting by. Very, very, very clean.
Modern Family is a splashier comedy, more unrealistic, but has quite a few laughs.
Friday Night Lights, same creator as Parenthood.

We really like Life in Pieces. It's about an extended family and their stories. It's much more of a comedy than Parenthood, with quirky, funny characters. I don't have netflix, so I don't know if it's on that yet. There have been 2 seasons so far.

There's a new show called the good doctor about a doctor with autism. Clean- though s medical drama. Same creator as House. It's excellent!

Thank you!

Is Hulu also about $10 a month or so, like Netflix? How does it work?

If you loved Parenthood, I highly suggest Switched at Birth.
