I would have a preference for comedy right now, as I've been watching a bunch of serious shows. I'm still catching up on Star Trek, which I watch with Sean, so something that isn't sci-fi would be appreciated as well, for more variety.

I have no idea what's on netflix, because Germany doesn't get netflix.
But if you haven't seen these, look them up. They're all decidedly non-sci-fi.
Boston Public
The high school where Ferris Bueller would be drugged and killed on day one. What the heavy social issues destroy, the teachers - here the heroes of the story - have to make up for with dedication and moral compass. One of the better David E. Kelley series, right up to the moment of mid season cancellation.
Gilmore Girls
A VERY small town, mother and daughter as friends, a host of pop culture references and the looming doom of a noble heritage. Sometimes, there's no need for more elements. Seasons 1 to 6 were a blast - And they kept getting better with each Season. But don't ever watch Season 7! They kicked out the original writers and all went to shambles within a year.
The Good Wife
Beautifully written, at least the first three Seasons (while Season 4 is still running, I wasn't particularly impressed with the first episodes I got hold of). There's always the "case of the week", but what really keeps you watching are the character developments. A former chief of justice imprisoned on charges of corruption - and it's mostly his wife's story, struggling to raise her children as a lawyer.
