I just finished Friday Night Lights and now I am sad. I loved FNL, I love parenthood, gilmore girls, etc. I need recs for my next show to watch while nursing!! I'd love something similar to above, since I want something that DH won't watch.
US or Canada netflix shows welcome

When I saw the title I was going to come in and suggest Friday Night Lights...so I got nothing

Have you seen my so called life? I got sucked into that a couple years ago. I think freaks and geeks is on there too? Desperate housewives?

I loved Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries, and Sons of Anarchy! Right now I'm watching Breaking Bad, and it's....interesting!

House of Cards! I started Army Wives but I got bored with it.

If you like FNL and Connie Britton, you should watch the first season of Nashville! I am obsessed. Season 2 will be starting this fall so you can catch up now.
Gossip Girl is entertaining.
Also an old recommendation is Felicity. I still love it
These aren't similar to the shows you mentioned but seriously good an will suck you in:
I was hesitant to watch Downton Abbey, I thought it would be boring. But it's fabulous and I now watch a couple episodes a day! Allow yourself 2 episodes before deciding yay or nay. I'm like you, I'll be sad when I run out of episodes.
Lost! I denied it for years and finally decided to start watching a year before the final season. I'm so so so glad I got caught up. It's phenomenal and you will only understand the hype if you watch it!
Also got sucked into The Good Wife last summer. I went through the first 3 seasons in like a month! It's soooo good.
Oh! Revenge is awesome too. I think there are 2 seasons and it will start up again in the fall.
Grey's Anatomy? I'm not sure what you already watch in "real time" haha.
ETA: I have an unhealthy relationship with TV. To be fair, I download these episodes and watch them on the treadmill so it's not that bad

I just have three episodes of Felicity left and then I'm moving on to FNL. I also have Alias in my queue.
Have you watched Scandal at all? DH and I just started watching it this week and we're enjoying it.
All seven seasons of The West Wing are on Netflix too. DH and I are total WW nerds, and in May of every year we start a binge-watch...so we're current.y on season 4 of that.
Freaks and Geeks is another good one.

Sounds like Downton Abbey and The Good Wife are up your alley. I recently watched both and they're both great! Sherlock is AWESOME but something your DH would probably watch too.
I'm watching House of Cards right now and it's ok... almost done so I need to move onto something new. I'm thinking West Wing.

I just caught up with Mad Men! I loved it! Awesome because its an hour long show--sometimes when the episodes weren't over, I would wish LO would nurse longer!

@hergreenapples: I'm currently watching West Wing too! I'm half-way through Season 5.
I agree with the suggestions for Downton Abbey and Nashville! Not sure if you'll like Vampire Diaries based on the other shows you've watched, but I LOVE it. Army Wives is decent. So is Mistresses. I also like The Lying Game.

I'm currently watching Grey's Anatomy and loving it!
DH and I watched all of Supernatural that was on there.
I watched all of Downton Abbey while I was on bed rest and it was fabulous!

@Mrs. Jacks: @autumnlove: DH and I watched that and enjoyed it!
@Silva: I love my so called life! I was bummed that it just ended, they didn't know it was cancelled so it never got a proper ending 
@MrsBrewer: DH and I love Breaking Bad!!!! It takes a few episodes to really get into it for sure.
@AuntieEm: Wow, tons of great suggestions!!!! Felicity is awesome, I haven't seen that in so long, I'll definitely check it out.
@hergreenapples: You won't be disappointed. FNL majorly sucked me in!!! And the west wing is awesome. I watched it all for the first time a couple of years ago, could definitely watch it again, but DH loves it too so I probably will watch with him
@Mrs. Bee: My sister has been praising Downton! I didn't realize it was on netflix!
@Pumpkinspice: I totally watched the first few seasons of grey's religiously and then stopped, I should catch up!!!
@pelikila: Wings! That's a blast from the past! Awesome!!
Ok, so I'm thinking gossip girl, and then maybe ally mcbeal? Is anyone an Ally fan? It was my sister's suggestion!

@Adira: Nashville didn't come up in a search, is it on netflix and I just missed it?

I started the Good Wife 2 weeks ago and already went through the whole first season. I highly recommend it!

@sslm: I don't think the newer seasons of Downton will be on Netflix. They are exclusive for Amazon Prime.
