Big Ben Love the out doors and mountains
Thanks for that one @Arkie98 — Big Ben sounds like a peaceful and scenic choice! 🏞️🐻 Was it the beautiful mountain setting that won you over, or Ben’s rugged, outdoorsy lifestyle? If you had a month there, do you think you’d spend more time exploring nature—or just enjoying the slower, simpler way of life?
 
Leave it to Beaver. It is a nice little town and everyone always works out their problems before things get out of hand.
That’s such a wholesome pick @Jthomas — Leave It to Beaver really captured that sense of community and calm. 🏡✨Was it the neighborly feel or the way each episode wrapped up with a gentle lesson that drew you in most? If you spent a month in that town, do you think you’d enjoy the simplicity—or miss a bit of the hustle and bustle of modern life?
 
Now that’s a bold and intriguing choice @sojo — Dexter definitely isn’t your average TV world! 🔪🩸Was it the psychological twists, Dexter’s double life, or the dark humor that made it your pick? And if you spent a month in that world, do you think you’d be trying to solve crimes… or staying far away from Miami’s darker side? 😅
 
Happy's Place with Reba and crew!!!
What a fun and feel-good choice @mcm1421 — Reba and the gang at Happy’s Place really knew how to bring the laughs and heart! 🎤🏡Was it Reba’s sass and strength that drew you in, or just the fun chemistry of the whole crew? If you had a month with them, do you think you'd be helping out at Happy’s Place—or right in the middle of the family drama (in the best way, of course)? 😄
 
Seinfeld. They are true friends and they live in Manhattan and eat in the diner a lot. I would be Kramer's girlfreind. LOL.
Love this answer @Bunella — Seinfeld is such a classic, and wanting to be Kramer’s girlfriend is a hilarious twist! 😂☕🏙️ Is it the strong (and often ridiculous) friendships, the New York setting, or just all the diner banter that made it your pick? If you spent a month in that world, would you be getting into quirky predicaments too—or just watching the chaos unfold with a coffee in hand?
 
Call the midwife
Such a heartfelt and powerful choice @rslindsay — Call the Midwife really takes you on an emotional journey. 👶🕊️ Was it the strong sense of community, the dedication of the nurses, or the historical setting that drew you in? If you spent a month in that world, would you want to be part of the midwifery team—or simply take in the spirit and resilience of the time?
 
I would like to be living with the Golden Girls
What a fabulous pick @kiki — living with The Golden Girls sounds like nonstop laughs, late-night chats, and of course… cheesecake! 😄🍰 Was it the humor, the strong friendship between the ladies, or just the warm, welcoming vibe that made you want to join them? If you spent a month in that house, which room would you claim—and who do you think you'd bond with most?
 
The Golden Girls, who wouldn't love to have that kind of atmosphere, with Sophia LOL
Absolutely great choice @Trix ! The Golden Girls had such a unique, feel-good atmosphere—and Sophia always stole the scene with her sass! 😄🍝 Was it her quick wit that made you love her most, or just the way she kept everyone on their toes? If you had a month in that household, do you think you’d be joining in on the laughs—or stirring the pot right alongside Sophia?
 
That’s a meaningful choice @judih49456 —MASH* had such a powerful mix of humor, heart, and humanity. 🩺📻 Was it the camaraderie, the quick wit, or the way they found light in the darkest situations that drew you in? If you spent a month in that world, do you think you’d be in the operating room, cracking jokes in the mess tent—or both?
 
Columbo, solving a mystery.
A brilliant pick @aidac — Columbo had such a clever and quietly captivating style! 🕵️‍♂️🧩 Was it his unassuming approach that made him your favorite, or the way he always managed to outsmart the suspects? If you had a month in that world, would you want to help him solve the mysteries—or try to keep up while he dropped those “just one more thing” moments? 😄
 
There are 2 shows I would definitely spend 30 days on. Star Trek ( any iteration). I also love The Andy Griffith Show. I guess a 3rd choice would be Columbo. Loved Peter Falk
Love how varied your choices are @Carl — sci-fi adventures, small-town charm, and classic detective work all in one! 🚀🏡🕵️‍♂️Was it the imagination and optimism of Star Trek, the simplicity and heart of The Andy Griffith Show, or Peter Falk’s unforgettable Columbo that keeps drawing you back? If you could split your 30 days between all three, which world would you stay in the longest—and which one do you think would surprise you most?
 
Bonanza or The Big Valley
Two fantastic choices @DeeKris — Bonanza and The Big Valley really knew how to blend family, frontier, and drama! 🤠🌄 Was it the strong family bonds, the rugged setting, or the sense of honor and justice that made them your top picks? If you had a month in either world, would you be riding the range, running the ranch, or getting caught up in all the action?
 
Happy Days!
Life was much simpler back then. Fun AND no worries!
Such a great reason to choose Happy Days @LindaLynn47 — it really did capture a time when life felt lighter and more carefree! 🎶🍔Was it the friendships, the music, or just that comforting “all’s well that ends well” vibe that pulled you in? If you had a month there, do you think you'd be cruising around with the gang or hanging out at Arnold’s soaking it all in?
 
The Dating Game
Now that’s a fun and flirty pick @GlennDaddy — The Dating Game definitely brought some laughs and surprises! 💘🎤Was it the humor, the mystery of not seeing the contestants, or just the idea of old-school dating fun that made it your choice? If you were on the show for a month, would you rather be the one asking the questions—or the one trying to win someone over with a clever answer? 😄
 
The movie "Guardians of the Galaxy"
That is my most favorite movie.
Great pick @MsRusty — even though it's a movie, Guardians of the Galaxy has such a fun, adventurous world that it’s easy to imagine spending a month there! 🚀🎶🌌 Is it the action, the humor, or that awesome 70s soundtrack that makes it your favorite? And if you were part of the crew, do you think you'd be teaming up with Rocket and Groot—or dancing your way through the galaxy like Star-Lord? 😄
 
I Love Lucy or Elsbeth. Just love any of the Lucy episodes and now enjoy the police procedurals of Elsbeth. She is such a hoot!
What a fun mix @RhondaG63 — classic comedy and clever crime solving! 😄🎭🔍 Lucy’s timeless humor never gets old, and Elsbeth’s quirky brilliance is such a fresh twist on the detective genre. Do you think you’d rather be caught up in Lucy’s hilarious mishaps for a month, or tagging along with Elsbeth as she cracks cases in her own unique way? Or maybe a little bit of both to keep things interesting?
 
Gilmore Girls
Lots of fun!!!
Such a cozy and charming choice @luvs2bgram — Gilmore Girls really does feel like a fun escape! ☕📚🌸Was it the fast-paced banter, the quirky small-town life, or the close mother-daughter bond that made it your pick? If you had a month in Stars Hollow, would you spend your days at Luke’s Diner, browsing books with Rory, or getting swept up in one of the town’s many festivals?
 
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?
I would very much like the slower pace. I would definitely get on the back of the Fonz's motorcycle!
