What holds up to re-watches?
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.
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.
Frasier
Star Trek The Next Generation
MASH
Star Wars The Clone Wars
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Mission Impossible (original series)
ThunderbirdsIve 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.
Also Warehouse 13 and Eureka.
God I tried to rewatch eureka, I so dearly loved that show. I got the kids in front of the TV and I said this is a fantastic sci-fi series with all kinds of great high concept stuff you’re going to love it.
They did not, in fact, love it.
So internally I’m all screw you guys You don’t know what you’re missing I’m going to watch it.
I don’t remember the pilot being this long and slow, I’m just forgetting I’m sure I’ll pick up an episode two, I got a few minutes into episode 3 and just couldn’t.
The acting is shakier than I remember the effects don’t hold up. I have to stop before I ruined my memory of loving it. I miss the show so much Henry was a badass.
I typically resort to reading when I run out of good shows to watch.
Seinfeld, Star Trek (TNG, DS9 mostly), Mitchell and Webb shows, British Panel shows, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Monty Python, etc
Malcolm in the Middle is one of those shows that is always running with my setup (Plex Server and DizqueTV).
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.
The Office, Parks and Rec & Brooklyn 99 in no particular order
I always go back to peep show.
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.
Star Trek Next Gen, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager are my go to bidges. Sometimes I just have them on as background because I’ve seen them so many times.
The Pokemon anime is a reliable watch for me when I’m feeling nostalgic. Also great for practicing my Japanese listening skills on Netflix Japan.
Avatar the Last Airbender and Korra. Love the worlds these shows create, and I always seem to catch new details through each rewatch.
Steven Universe- On my second watch through, and am actually starting to prefer the slice of life episodes more than the first time around. God tier music.
We Bare Bears- Such a cute wholesome show. Definitely a great comfort show.
Monk, House, and Psych- There was a time where I just watched a lot of TBS, and these were my favorite shows from there. Sean and Guss from Psych is probably one of my favorite bromances from television.
Might add more if I think of anything else.
Star Trek: The Next Generation. Watching that is the TV version of getting comfy under a warm blanket.
Arrested Development Bojack Horseman The Good Place Futurama
