Futurama is my comfort show. The wet humor gets me everytime
Futurama. I’ve seen it thousands of times. That’s not an exaggeration.
Bob’s Burgers
I like how every single character is incredibly weird in at least one way, but their weirdness is usually a source of joy and hardly ever used as the butt of a joke.
Arrested Development has such intricate humor that it takes multiple passes to absorb it all. For some jokes, the punchline for the set-up doesn’t come until some episodes—or even seasons—later. Just the first three seasons, though. Season 4 & 5 were made years later and aren’t the same.
+1 for arrested development. Took me until season 3 to realize the next episode previews were fake
Futurama
Also, Disenchanted
I feel like I’ll get roasted but, maybe Family Guy. I always understand new references and catch new jokes each rewatch
At least for me:
Dr. Who (First through Fifth Doctor mostly)
Original Star Trek
Star Trek: TNG
Star Trek: Voyager
Star Trek: DS9
Red Dwarf
Monty Pythons Flying Circus
IT Crowd
Mr. Robot
“It’s cold outside, there’s no kind of atmosphere” is stuck in my head forever.
…and the jumping off a plane, riding on a crocodile, killing a nazi scene.
I love that show, saw it plenty of times from start to finish…
“It’s the last thing they’ll be expecting - a daylight charge over the minefield.”
King of the Hill
Never got into that one
It holds up
Literally from the first episode til like season 11 where it declines somewhat but still strong
I’ll keep that in mind as I occasionally chew through it. I never really watched it at the time.
The Office
I just can’t get into it. It seems weird and it’s primarily the format that throws it off for me. The whole interview talking and stuff it’s just odd.
The documentary style quickly takes a back seat, but the interviews are always there and heavily used. Try Modern Family first and see of the Office doesn’t hit better once you’re used to the interviews there. They’re brief fourth-wall breaks and not diagetic.
e: I would say if you’re not having an absolute blast by the Dundees episode (I think that S2E1?), don’t waste any more of your time.
Babylon 5.
Every time I watch it I’m stunned at how relevant it still is.
I just finished watching the series for the first time the other day. I started out a little skeptical it would have aged well and there’s a few moments that reminded me it came out in the early 90s, but wow what a fantastic show. And what a time to be watching it, some of those newscast episodes hit close to home.
I think it’ll be on my rewatch list too now.
Seinfeld for me.
Closely followed by IT Crowd
Friends, and The Office for me.
It has became my routine to browse on Netflix or HBO Max endlessly looking for something new to watch, but always ended up re-watching between those two.
Pawn stars for one.
Extreme elimination challenge.
Doesn’t matter the episode or if you join half way into an episode, still a silly watch
