Stuff more people should be watching

Being Erica, because it's utterly adorable. It's a Canadian show that airs on SoapNet in the U.S., but the first two seasons are up on Hulu.

What if you could go back in time and fix all your regrets? That's exactly the chance Erica gets when she meets Dr. Tom. She's unhappy with her life - 32, single, unemployed, and currently hospitalized after going into anaphylactic shock - and there are so many things she wishes she'd done differently. Each week, Dr. Tom sends Erica back to a significant moment in her life and gives her the chance to do it over and change the outcome. But of course, things never turn out the way she expects.

It's got time travel! Crazy '80s outfits! Erin Karpluk being the most adorable Canadian ever! (Plus she has amazing hair, OMG.) Sebastian Pigott, who reminds me of a younger James Marsters. And he sings! (I am SUCH an Erica/Kai shipper and OMG that scene makes me cry.) It's funny and it's heartwarming, without being too sappy. It'll definitely put a smile on your face. But it's also got depth to it - Erica learns some very hard lessons about herself and the things she cannot change.

Plus, did I mention the time travel?
