Sons of Anarchy and Leverage. Those are both very good to keep you occupied although (even of SoA is my favorite TV show ever) Leverage would probably be a better distraction for labor.
I don't really have a movie preference, but I really do like listening to a mix cd of my favorite songs. During beginning labor, sitting on a birthing ball and chatting with my two favorite people my sis and husband. Can't wait till our big day arrives! 38 more days!
Do you like westerns? Lonesome Dove, love comes softly, deadwood or if you like zombies there's the walking dead, another good long series is Smallville. Thats all I can think of right now lol :) good luck!
Sex and the city always works for me. I know its old but I have every episode and all the movies and I can't get enough of it. Shameless is a good one too. Thats a good idea, hope it works for you.
Sons of anarchy....just get netflix much cheaper
I like Doctor Who, Grimm, and American Horror Story
True Blood, Scandal, once upon a time...those are the only ones I can think of
