I think I would choose "Happy Days."
Thanks for sharing that @Carol * — Happy Days is such a feel-good choice! 😊 Was it the music, the simpler times, or maybe the chance to hang out with the Fonz that made you pick it? Do you think living in that era for a month would’ve felt like a nice break from today’s fast-paced world?

Reactions: Carol *
Thanks for jumping in with that @GeorgannP — Frasier is such a clever pick! 🎙️💼Was it the witty humor, the radio show setting, or maybe Frasier’s stylish Seattle apartment that appealed most to you? And do you think spending a month in that world would’ve felt relaxing or a bit too highbrow? 😄
 
The Andy Griffith Show and I Love Lucy! ♥️
Thanks so much for sharing those classics @Jill3 — what a fun combination! ♥️ The Andy Griffith Show brings that peaceful, small-town charm, while I Love Lucy is full of laughs and lovable chaos! If you had to choose just one to be in for a whole month, which would it be? And do you think you'd enjoy getting involved in the town of Mayberry or would you rather be part of Lucy’s wild adventures?
 
Gilligan's Island. A relaxing slow passed world
Thanks for sharing that @ghandi44 — Gilligan’s Island definitely offers a slower pace and a tropical escape! 🏝️Would you have been more of a Professor type, always trying to solve things, or happy just soaking up the sun like Gilligan? And do you think being there for a whole month would’ve stayed relaxing… or would cabin fever have kicked in eventually? 😄
 
Can't get enough of Blue Bloods
Thanks for sharing that @terryd — Blue Bloods is such a gripping choice! 🚓🍽️ Is it the family dinners, the strong sense of justice, or the layered characters that keep you coming back? And if you spent a month in that world, do you see yourself more at the dinner table with the Reagans or out in the field solving cases?
 
Happy Days Innocent and great music
Thanks for sharing @Gibb — Happy Days really does bring that wholesome nostalgia and feel-good soundtrack! 🎶😊 Was there a particular character or moment from the show that made it stand out for you? And if you were there for a month, would you be hanging out at Arnold’s Drive-In or maybe trying your hand at dancing to the jukebox?
 
Andy Griffith Show
Thanks for sharing @Jesslupkh2 —The Andy Griffith Show is such a warm and timeless pick! 😊 Was it the slow-paced small-town life that drew you in, or maybe the gentle humor and close-knit community? If you were there for a month, do you think you'd spend more time fishing with Opie or chatting on the porch with Aunt Bee and Andy?
 
The rifleman
Thanks for sharing @Yahtzeemama — The Rifleman is a classic choice with a lot of heart and grit! 🤠 Was it the father-son bond, the frontier life, or the old-school values that drew you in? And if you spent a month in that world, do you think you’d enjoy the simplicity of the Wild West—or miss modern comforts after a few days?
 
As a former EMS provider, perhaps I could be a resident on The Resident...
That’s such a thoughtful choice @fjgoslin — The Resident feels like a natural fit given your background in EMS. It must’ve resonated on a deeper level with your own experiences in healthcare. Do you think being immersed in that fast-paced hospital environment for a month would feel familiar—or would the TV drama side of it keep you on your toes? Also, were there any storylines that really hit home for you?
 
Murder she wrote=like the sea town she lives in
Appreciate you sharing that one @raspberry —Murder, She Wrote has such a cozy yet intriguing atmosphere! 🕵️‍♀️🌊 Was it the peaceful charm of Cabot Cove that drew you in, or the idea of solving mysteries alongside Jessica Fletcher? If you spent a month there, would you be strolling the seaside or keeping an eye out for suspicious characters? 😄
 
Happy Days because they were the good old days and all problems were solved in 30 minutes. LOL
What a great choice @NERAKRETROP —Happy Days really did have that comforting rhythm, didn’t it? 😄 Was it the simpler times, the friendships, or maybe just the idea that everything worked out by the end of the episode that made it your pick? If life really worked like that, what’s one everyday problem you’d love to have wrapped up in 30 minutes?
 
Mickey Mouse Club
Love that you mentioned The Mickey Mouse Club @Michael J Contos ! 🐭🎵 It brings back such cheerful, wholesome memories. Was it the music, the energy, or just the joy of being part of something fun and youthful that made it your choice? And if you spent a month in that world, do you think you'd be performing on stage—or more behind the scenes, soaking it all in?
 
Letterkenny because of Bonnie McMurray and Katy😍
Haha, now that’s an honest and cheeky pick @Ernie —Letterkenny definitely has its own charm! 😄Was it the humor, the characters, or just the small-town quirks that pulled you in (aside from Bonnie and Katy, of course)? If you had a month there, do you think you’d fit in with the Hicks, the Skids, or the Hockey Players?
 
Magnum PI
I’m a big fan of Tom Selleck plus I would love to see Hawaii, never been there!
Great choice @Watson — Magnum P.I. has that perfect mix of adventure and paradise! 🌺🚗 And Tom Selleck definitely had some serious screen presence! Do you think you'd spend more time solving mysteries with Magnum or just enjoying the island life? And since Hawaii's on your wish list—has it always been a dream destination, or did the show inspire that?
 
Murder She Wrote
Love that classic pick @Katharynne — Murder, She Wrote never goes out of style! 🕵️‍♀️📚 Was it Jessica Fletcher’s sharp mind that drew you in, or the charm of Cabot Cove and its seaside calm (despite all the mysteries)? If you spent a month there, do you think you’d help her solve a case—or end up being one of the suspects? 😄
 
Big bang theory. Makes me laugh every time I watch it over and over
Such a fun pick @sincitylass —The Big Bang Theory really is one of those shows that never gets old! 😂🧠 Is it the quirky characters, the clever humor, or just the mix of friendships that keeps you coming back? If you spent a month in that world, would you be hanging out in the comic book store, joining trivia night, or avoiding Sheldon’s roommate agreement at all costs?
 
Andy Griffith show
A classic choice @nursepll — there’s something so comforting about The Andy Griffith Show! 😊🍂 Was it the gentle pace of life in Mayberry that made it your pick, or the way everyone knew each other and looked out for one another? If you had a month there, would you be more at home fishing with Opie or enjoying a slice of pie in Aunt Bee’s kitchen?
 
Golden Girls. Love Cheesecake and they eat a lot of it.
Now that’s a delicious reason to pick The Golden Girls @JPalubin ! 😄🍰 Was it just the cheesecake—or did the humor, friendship, and heartwarming moments pull you in too? If you spent a month with the ladies, do you think you'd be more like Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, or Sophia... or a little mix of all four?
 
The Rockford Files & Reba,
That’s such an interesting combo @Preacher — The Rockford Files and Reba couldn’t be more different, but both are fantastic in their own way! 🔎🎤 Were you drawn to Rockford’s cool detective work and ’70s style, or Reba’s wit and down-to-earth resilience—or maybe a bit of both? If you had to spend two weeks in each, which world do you think would suit you better?
 
BLUE BLOODS...BECAUSE OF TOM SELLECK
Great choice @ejamos1955 — Blue Bloods really wouldn’t be the same without Tom Selleck! 👮‍♂️🍽️ Is it his calm authority as Frank Reagan that stands out most to you, or have you followed his career since his Magnum P.I. days? If you spent a month in that world, would you want a seat at the Reagan family dinner—or be out in the field with the NYPD?
