Sounds like you're in the mood for some laughter, and "The Golden Girls," a favorite among Southerners, can certainly deliver that. The classic '80s sitcom is full of lighthearted jokes and memorable one-liners that'll keep you entertained whether you're just watching an episode or in it for all seven seasons. You can catch it streaming on Hulu!
If you're on the lookout for a show about some hilariously Southern women, this is the show you need to add to your watch list ASAP. "Designing Women" was of course a popular show when it aired in the '80s, but its popularity hasn't waned in the South since then. Just watch "The Night The Light Went Out in Georgia" episode, and you'll understand why. You can stream it on Hulu and Amazon Prime.
For a family sitcom that's got plenty of laughs and at least one heart-to-heart in every episode, why not watch an episode of "Reba"? You might be thinking we're a little biased when it comes to anything our country queen Reba McEntire does (and you'd be right,) but "Reba" really is the perfect '90s show if you're looking for a little light viewing and plenty of thinly veiled Southern insults. You can stream it on Hulu!
It's hard to imagine there's a Southerner out there who hasn't seen at least one episode of "The Andy Griffith Show" by now, but if that's you, we think it's high time you did so. And if you have seen an episode, you know that watching all of 'em -- all 249 episodes -- wouldn't be the worst way to spend a weekend. You can stream it on Paramount+.
We get the feeling you're looking for something with a little more substance to it than your typical sitcom, and that's why we think "In the Heat of the Night" is the perfect watch for you. With eight seasons airing in the '80s and '90s, it's a great watch for when you want a crime drama that'll keep you locked in all night (or weekend) long. You can stream it on several services, including FuboTV!
You've probably heard a few Chuck Norris jokes and maybe even already seen an episode or two of "Walker, Texas Ranger" before, but have you seen the full series? With nine seasons of action to check out, you might as well cancel all plans and clear your calendar. Plus, when you're done, you can check out the reboot series, "Walker," while you're at it. Both are available for streaming on Hulu!
"Friday Night Lights" has pretty much everything Southerners love -- drama, wise-cracking characters and football -- so it's no surprise the series is still popular despite being off the air for more than a decade. Whether you've never seen it or maybe just in need of a rewatch, seems like this Southern series would be right up your alley. You can watch it on Hulu or Netflix!
So you've probably seen all the classic Southern shows and are looking for a something a little more modern, right? Well, "Sweet Magnolias" is just that! Set in a Southern town, it's got plenty of drama, humor and romance to keep you occupied. Plus, with three seasons out and a fourth on the way, you'll have more coming soon. You can catch it on Netflix!
