Once You've Watched All of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Check Out These 10 Shows

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is Amazon Studios' latest TV hit — and for good reason. It stars Rachel Brosnahan in a breakout role as Midge, an Upper West Side housewife whose husband cheats on her, which inadvertently launches her stand-up comedy career . . . in 1950s New York, no less. If you love the Emmy-winning dramedy from Amy Sherman-Palladino, we have good news: season two is now streaming, and the show has already been renewed for a third! Once you binge all the new episodes, here are 10 other shows to fill the Midge-shaped hole in your heart.

NBC

30 Rock

If you enjoy watching a quirky woman find her way in the show-business world, you'll love Tina Fey as Liz Lemon, the creator of a variety sketch show who has to deal with temperamental stars, a brilliant but sometimes tone-deaf boss, a hapless writers' room, and her own personal life that is at times a total train wreck.

Watch it on Hulu.

02
Bunheads

Bunheads

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is helmed by Amy Sherman-Palladino, so if you like the show, be sure to check out ASP's other work. Bunheads is a short-lived dramedy about a former ballerina who ends up as a showgirl. When she can't take that anymore, she moves to a small town and begins teaching ballet alongside her mother-in-law. Bonus: Midge's BFF, Imogene, is played by Bunheads star Bailey De Young.

Watch it on Hulu.

03
Crashing
HBO

Crashing

If your favorite part of Mrs. Maisel is Midge learning the ins and outs of stand-up comedy, try HBO's comedy about the stand-up scene in New York City, filtered through the eyes of Pete Holmes (playing a heightened version of himself), a Christian who wants to do, more or less, clean comedy.

Watch it on HBO Now or HBO Go.

04
Enlightened
HBO

Enlightened

This underrated gem unfortunately never found an audience, so it was canceled after two seasons, but not before Laura Dern won a Golden Globe for her role as Amy, an executive whose personal life implodes, which leads her to a philosophical awakening and sets her on a journey to put her life back together.

Watch it on HBO Now or HBO Go.

05
Gilmore Girls
Everett Collection

Gilmore Girls

This other Amy Sherman-Palladino project is even closer to Mrs. Maisel than Bunheads in terms of focusing on a single mom whose personal life is full of ups and downs and whose relationship with her parents could be healthier (though Midge is definitely in a better place in that regard than Lorelai Gilmore).

Watch it on Netflix.

06
I'm Dying Up Here
Everett Collection

I'm Dying Up Here

This Showtime dramedy has both the stand-up comedy aspect and the period-piece setting, though its 1970s Los Angeles setting is definitely a far cry from 1950s New York. But its look at the stand-up world from decades ago may appeal to Mrs. Maisel fans.

Watch it on the Showtime site.

07
Mad Men
Everett Collection

Mad Men

If the costumes and set design are what keep you coming back to Midge's Upper West Side world, then give Mad Men a try. Its focus on a New York ad agency in the 1960s definitely makes it a very different series, but it didn't win a boatload of Emmys for nothin'.

Watch it on Netflix.

08
The Mindy Project
Everett Collection

The Mindy Project

There are a lot of similarities between single OB-GYN Mindy Lahiri and Midge Maisel, even if the modern-day setting of The Mindy Project does give it a very different look and feel. But quirky, funny women trying to find their way in the world is a timeless focus.

Watch it on Hulu.

09
The New Adventures of Old Christine
Everett Collection

The New Adventures of Old Christine

In between her very successful runs on Seinfeld and Veep, Julia Louis-Dreyfus starred on this CBS sitcom about Christine Campbell, a middle-aged divorced mother dealing with an ex-husband who has moved on . . . to another woman named Christine (hence the title). JLD added five Emmy nominations (and one win) to her long list of accolades for her portrayal of "old Christine."

Watch it on Amazon.

SMILF

SMILF

This new Showtime comedy follows single mother Bridgette, who is trying to get back out into the dating world after giving birth to her son (whose father is also still in her life).

Watch it on the Showtime site.
