30 Rock.
re-watching it now. Such a remarkably consistent show.
An an animation geek: Steven Universe, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Gravity Falls, Over The Garden Wall, Spectacular Spider-Man, Apple & Onion, Bob's Burgers, and Ugly Americans are all shows I seem to go back to every year or two.
Otherwise, I feel like Arrested Development, Better Off Ted, Mr. Robot, Party Down, Psych, Santa Clarita Diet, Schitt's Creek, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, We Are Lady Parts, and the first season of Twin Peaks are all great re-watches.
My list would get too long if I listed all the movies I think are worth rewatching, but Coraline is a fun one to come back to because they packed more detail into that movie than one person could pick up in over a dozen viewings. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is another awesome one to rewatch because it's just pure fun.
I typically resort to reading when I run out of good shows to watch.
Frasier
Star Trek The Next Generation
MASH
Star Wars The Clone Wars
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Mission Impossible (original series)
Thunderbirds
Ive watched sg-1 the most, for sure. Yet, I keep revisiting old favorites and rewatching in a cycle. Sopranos, the wire, star trek tng, ds9, mr robot, the shield, sons of anarchy, peaky blinders are some ive rewatched in the past 2 years. It has become more like a revolving door in the past few years rather than one certain favorite.
Im planning on binging the bear s1 and s2 when ive finished with s2 as I feel I missed some details that could be good during a rewatch.
@LeafyBirch SG-1 and Atlantis here, too. As Time Goes By. West Wing. Daria. Eerie, Indiana.
We're currently re-watching Extraordinary Attorney Woo, and I think it'll join the rotation.
I always go back to peep show.
Seinfeld, Star Trek (TNG, DS9 mostly), Mitchell and Webb shows, British Panel shows, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Monty Python, etc
The Office, Parks and Rec & Brooklyn 99 in no particular order
For me, SpongeBob up until the first movie, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Adventure Time, old Top Gear, King of the Hill, and the king of them all is Futurama.
Malcolm in the Middle is one of those shows that is always running with my setup (Plex Server and DizqueTV).
Star Trek: The Next Generation. Watching that is the TV version of getting comfy under a warm blanket.
Seinfeld. Fraser. 30 Rock. The Office.
My wife and I have commented how hard it is to find good sitcoms anymore. I think they peaked in the 90s, as that’s the decade we consistently come back to to find new ones.
If you like those, I recommend Superstore, Brooklyn 99, & Abbott Elementary. Those are the best most recent sitcom shows I can think of.
Off the top of my head, Battlestar Galactica (the reboot, never watched the original) and Firefly
Battlestar Galactica (the reboot
Thanks for reminding me. I need to re-watch that sometime.
Arrested Development Bojack Horseman The Good Place Futurama
Depends on my mood but probably - Bojack, Mr. Robot, Parks & Rec, Community, Trailer Park Boys or Brooklyn 99.
Community, king of the hills, better off ted, Angel, Malcolm in the Middle
Girls Gone Wild
True Detective
My latest is Fresh Off The Boat
Archer is my go-to, Ive probably seen every season a dozen times or more.
The Sopranos!
Cowboy Bebop.
Hannibal, the TV show. It was truly a masterpiece.
Although recently I’m more likely to pull out a video game and play than watch TV out movies, and my old standby is the Mass Effect trilogy.
I have so many shows I need to catch up on that I could never run out of "new-to-me" media. But there's some I could suggest:
Seinfeld and the 2001-2003 episodes of the german „Harald Schmidt Show“. I’m somewhat of an humor reactionary.
Black Books, Red Dwarf, IT Crowd
tha older tha wine is, tha gooder it is
I just, can't imagine running out of tv shows????? I have probably 8 or so on my to-be-watched list, and the list only gets longer. I've watched 1 season each of 2 shows (Foundation S1 & Golden Compass S3) this YEAR. Oh and maybe Rings of Power was this year, too.
It happens pretty quickly for me. I usually watch a whole season in one sitting though. I absolutely will not watch a TV show unless it has multiple seasons for this reason.
