What TV Shows Do You Like? Looking for Something My Husband and I Can Watch....

A lot of repeats, but I second all the recommendations for:

Joss Whedon's shows: Buffy, Angel, Firefly (David Boreanaz from Bones is on the first two seasons of Buffy and then his character was spun off onto Angel)
Friday Night Lights - this series just ended; I'm going to miss it so much!
Pushing Daisies
The Mentalist
Veronica Mars
Alias
Grey's Anatomy

Also like:
Everwood
Glee
Gilmore Girls
Parenthood
Modern Family
Cougar Town
The Office - both the American and British versions

The Shield
Sons of Anarchy
Law and Order: SVU
Terriors
Blue Bloods (new series with Tom Selleck and Donnie Wahlberg-awesome!)

Firefly (not quite a full season was released, but it's a great series, if you don't mind being left hanging and wanting more) and the Mentalist (good mix of crime show and good humor)

My husband and I love watching the show Parenthood together. It's funny, has great characters, and always leaves us with something to talk about regarding our own family. A new season will be starting in Sept., but you can probably catch up on previous episodes online. Great show... I highly recommend it!

Try Monk. It's a crime detective show, which is always fun (trying to guess who did it, etc) but it's really funny in a dry sort of way. Monk, the detective, is obsessive compulsive in an extreme way, which makes for funny material. I seriously love it, and there are 8 seasons, so that's plenty of material. If you do instant streaming on Netflix, you can get it for free.

If you haven't watched Lost, I'd also recommend that...it's the type of show that you really need to see each episode in order, so that's great for rental. I also still enjoy the Office, and Friends.

The Good Wife! Julianna Marguilis is the star. The character development is amazing as is the storyline.
Parks and Recreation (Amy Poehler is hilarious!)
30 Rock (just started watching this on Netflix. LOVE it!)
In Plain Sight (great character development)
Switched At Birth (new show but I like it alot- interesting concept)
Hawthorne (hospital drama starring Jada Pinkett Smith)
Men of a Certain Age
Outsourced
That 70's Show
Persons Unknown (it was on last summer for 1 season- weird but good)
My husband likes Doctor Who a lot
I heard Memphis Beat is really good I haven't had a chance to see it.

Warehouse 13
Eureka
Dr. Who
Rizzoli & Isles
NCIS
NCIS Los Angeles
Falling Skies

Flight of the Conchords, Peep Show, The Office, Deadliest Catch, The Inbetweeners. We love The Sopranos, but maybe too violent for your tastes.

if you dont mind that it's about a teenage private detective, my husband and I both liked Veronica Mars (the first season is amazing!)

We also like:
Psych
Pushing Daisies
Alias
Firefly (great character development, but one of the characters is a legalized prostitute, so there is a bit of sexual content, but not much, it was on FOX and not cable)
Dead Like Me
Community
West Wing
Doctor Who (so much to watch! Start with the new series and work your way back if you like it)
How I Met Your Mother
Castle
Highlander

We also like the IT Crowd and The Guild, which we just started watching and have finished all they have on Netflix Streaming

Modern Family all the way!

You can buy the seasons of Everybody Loves Raymond. Each season is like $20. They are hilarious. We never get tired of them.
The 4400 was really good.
You could also get the seasons of The Biggest Loser and Cake Boss

Psych, Leverage, Top Gear(BBC) and Modern Family are the shows my hubby and I have to watch together!

If you like Burn Notice & White Collar, USA has several more out - Covert Affairs, Royal Pains, Suits, Necessary Roughness, the Protector - awesome characters and storylines! After all, their tagline is "Characters Welcome"!

Criminal Minds
Big Bang Theory
House
Parenthood
Modern Family

Dexter and SIx Feet Under are great but Dexter is bloody but very well written and I don't care for blood and gore but LOVE that show.

I still like Boston Legal and Rescue Me a LOT!

My hubby likes The Mentalist...there's also one I think on TNT called Memphis Blues (another police drama type show) that he's into. We also like The Middle, Modern Family, The Marriage Ref, Grey's Anatomy, How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory, Parenthood.

Some of the cable shows we watch regularly include Pawn Stars, American Pickers, and American Restoration. I also like How The States Got Their Shapes (all of these are on History Channel). Also, Anthony Bourdain in No Reservations. And hubby is also into all the "men working risky dangerous jobs" shows like Ice Road Truckers, Axemen, Deadiest Catch, etc.

These are the shows my husband and I really enjoy watching (or rewatching via netflix!) together:

West Wing (LOVE that show!)
24
Modern Family (Hilarious!)
Parenthood
Weeds
Lost

Parenthood and Greys Anatomy

Those sound like the same shows my husband and I like to watch together. We also like these (available on Netflix instant play):

Doctor Who (starting in 2005 - present. Some of the best TV ever!)
Psych
In Plain Sight
Farscape

But seriously, if you haven't caught up with Doctor Who yet..... well, I just can't talk to you. :-)

Enjoy!

Lovin' True Blood right now.

How I Met Your Mother!! Love that show, its always hilarious and cracks us up. My absolute favorite show! The Office is a close second.

Quality comedies like Modern Family, The Office, Parks and Rec and 30 Rock. We NEED something we can relate to that also makes us laugh!!!

We watch alot of anime, so kinda different, but one of our all time faves is The Full Metal Alchemist. We watch all of our TV on netflix too.

United States of Tara: They are currently airing the 3rd and last season, which sucks theyre ending it, but you. must. watch. it!!!!! Hysterical. My and my fiance looooved the first 2 seasons (waiting til 3rd comes out on dvd).

Breaking Bad is really good too.

Some of these answers are interesting since you said "We don't like anything too violent or sexual." I see a lot on these lists that are very violent and sexual! However, they are great shows that my husband and I enjoy very much! Dexter is an awesome show-great story lines and acting! Season 6 is about to start, and my husband and I have watched seasons 1-5 together. However it is very violent and has a good bit of sex in it as well. My husband and I enjoy True Blood as well, again, it is violent and very sexual. I haven't found too many shows that aren't corny and don't have very good acting in them.

We enjoy Bones too! Another show you could check out would be House that one would fall in to what you are looking for. =] 24 is pretty good, hubby likes that one better, but I can tolerate it without trying! CSI is good to, but again there is a good bit of violence.

The Closer and Law and Order would probably work for you guys too!

We love all those shows you mentioned. Here are my recommendations:

Castle
Firefly
Pushing Daisies
Top Gear
NCIS
Psych
Chuck
CSI
Community
Better Off Ted
the IT Crowd

Parenthood
House
Modern Family
Cougar Town
How I Met Your Mother
Big Bang Theory

Have you tried streaming onto your TV from netflix? it's how we watch most of our netflix shows...and there are no commercials.

We enjoy watching Hoarders and Obsession (both are reality shows with obsessive people). I'm sure there's more, but I really can't think of any! We also watch on Hulu Plus (streams to our TV so we watch it there). We really like Wipeout and Extreme Makeover: Weightloss Edition. I also like Bones. I'm too tired to think of more;-)

My husband and I love:
Criminal Minds
House
The Glades
Law and Order: SVU and Criminal intent
Royal Pains
Dr. Who (but that might be to sci fi if you aren't into that type of show)

The Closer
X Files
Whose Line Is It Anyway?

If you are looking for comedy, Modern Family is my favorite right now. Another show that I find almost as funny as modern family is The Middle. It did take a couple of episodes to grow on me. It's hilarious, but doesn't get the hype that Modern Family does.

If you you are looking for a drama, then Lost.

Battlestar Galactica
True Blood (but it has alot of sex and violence)
Falling Skies
The Mentalist
The Killing (AMC show)
Dexter (can be pretty violent though)

My husband and I both think Curb Your Enthusiasm is hilarious...we're getting the seasons on Netflix right now. Mad Men is next on our list.

Greys Anatomy
Dexter
Parenthood
Weeds
US of Tara
Nurse Jackie

Big Love--maybe an acquired taste, but I really love it
Mad Men--everyone loves it, you can't go wrong!
Veronica Mars--don't let the synopsis fool you it is brilliantly written (but skip season 3)
Breaking Bad--dark, but good
Weeds--funny and dark...oh, I wish I could just start over and see every episode again...it's my absolute favorite
6 Feet Under--wonderful, wonderful characters--best finale I've ever seen!
Twin Peaks--older but absolutely awesome for character development (but don't watch the finale)

Wow you have a lot of responses haha but I just wanted to add "Lie to Me" - hooks you right in! I must also add "Modern Family" is one of my favs! We are "Bones" freaks too haha Looks like you won't be leaving the house for awhile heehee

Our favs are:
Angel
Alias
True Blood
Dexter
Game of Thrones
Buffy
Supernatural
Big Bang Theory
Smallville
Rules of Engagement
How I Met Your Mother

Don't know if you'd be able to find these, but 2 of my favorite series were Twin Peaks and Homicide (Life on the Streets). Both excellent in terms of plot and characters - I was so sad when they went off the air!

What about "The Office?"

Or Hawaii Five-0? I'm partial to this show of course.
But summer are all reruns now.
The new season of new episodes, starts in I think, September.

Or "House."

Or, "La Femme Nikita." A great, past tv show series. It is on DVD now and for renting. Awesome show and actors.

I've been watching
Camelot
Dirty Sexy Money
Dog the bounty Hunter
Hoarders
True Blood (lots of sex though)
These are all on Netflix
Also like

My husband and I are on season 4 of The Pretender. It ran from 1996-2000. Pretty awesome.

I saw a few people mention Criminal Minds, I tried getting into that show but found it way too creepy and disturbing.

Have fun trying out new shows!
