OMG, I love these shows! The Detectorists is a sweet, British sitcom. The Dick Van Dyke Show is also on.

When Calls the Heart is on Netflix. It's a sappier, even more sanitized amalgamation of Little House on the Prairie and Anne of Green Gables.

On Amazon, you might like Lark Rise to Candleford or Upstairs/Downstairs.

Except for the Dominatrix to the Stars who changes Sherlock's ringtone to a gasp. I realize that probably doesn't seem like a big deal to you, but I am familiar with the MIL/nun hybrid.

Has she seen Parks & Recreation? Drop Dead Diva?

The Paradise?

Jim Gaffigan's stand-up shows?

Parenthood

It's a great show and it fits all of your criteria. There are several seasons but each season/episode stands well on its own.

If you can handle subtitles, the Spanish series called The Time In Between. Riveting and beautiful costumes.

Any of the David Attenborough nature documentaries. They are pretty great. There might be some animal copulation though.

The Disney nature ones are also decent and generally no animal copulation. Bears and Chimpanzees were both worth watching.

How about mixing up a show with Great British Baking Show or Top Chef?

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Call the Midwife is a good one but I've already watched them all. And I have a newborn (which is why she is coming to help) so I don't think my postpartum hormones can handle the emotions of that show!
