As you may or may not know, Fixer Upper, along with the rest of the HGTV roundup have been removed from Netflix. While it's unclear whether the shows will ever pop back up on our feeds, here are a few more to get you a 'Chip and Jo' fix without the dream team themselves.

1. The Great British Baking Show, or Great British Bake Off

TGBBS (also referred to as GBBO) offers a light-hearted end-of-your-day alternative to the HGTV shows we all love. Even if you're not a foodie, you'll love the low-stress feeling of this cheery little tent competition, set in the English countryside. Mary Berry, the sweet pastry expert judge, will win you over (and you might find yourself wishing that she was your grandmother). Paul Hollywood, the bread baker extraordinaire, seems a bit like a kinder Simon Cowell (perhaps with better hair, but the same high expectations).

2. Small is Beautiful

This tiny house documentary is almost enough to quench your desire for the gorgeous transformations of Fixer Upper. Watch as the most is made of every nook and cranny in the construction of this beautiful little tiny house.

3. New Girl

Look no further for the same kooky humor than Chip Gaines offers his show. New Girl has about 4 'Chips' in the form of Jessica Day's roommates, played by Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, Lamorne Morris, and Damon Wayans Jr. The boys, each in their own unique style, poke fun at each other and their friends, rarely having a serious moment. Sound familiar?

4. Secrets of Great British Castles

If House Hunters: International is your cup of tea, this look at Britain's oldest and prettiest buildings (and their risky histories) may just do the trick. The host will take you through some of these gorgeous estates and fortresses and details interesting factoids about their constructions of histories.

Whichever of these shows catch your eye, you're sure to be in for a good Netflix fix, even without our beloved Gaines family!

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
