Have any of you seen the show "Derek?" (it streams on Netflix). It is a verrry sweet, funny, sometimes sad show about a very small nursing home in England. Ricky Gervais created/ wrote/ stars in it. I just love the elderly and used to volunteer/ work in Nursing Homes, so I was pretty sure I'd enjoy it. It took me a few epis to like it, then I started loving it sooo much, I was bummed it only had 2 seasons!

Here's a clip: :)

I think I will check it out . I'm really glad there is a nursing show about long term care , every time you see a show about nurses ,it's always about nurses that work in the hospital .

Try Moving On...it's one of the best shows around. I laugh my butt off and then get misty eyed over the ridiculousness of the business.

I think you may mean the show, Getting On? If so, yes. Hilarious!
