Surprised no one’s brought up Futurama yet.

Unpopular Opinion: The endless reboots killed it for me.

[-] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 month ago

My entire counterargument is the fast fashion episode. That one was brilliant.

[-] fitgse@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

Yup. Just the original series for me

I was just about to comment Futurama! Really not sure what to think of the newer episodes though...

[-] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 month ago

To me it's like seeing an old friend from younger years. You've both changed so things are different from the good ol' days, but it's still enjoyable to spend time with them.

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.

Monty Pythons Flying Circus

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.

Arrested Development, Always Sunny, and Archer for me. Always reliable when you just want half an hour of laughs. Although I do then tend to get drawn into yet another full rewatch.

[-] BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Oh man, I haven’t rewatched Archer is ages. Now I need to

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.

[-] Otherbarry@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 21 points 1 month ago

I've definitely re-watched old Adult Swim stuff. Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Sealab 2021 in particular. (I need to include Harvey Birdman Attorney At Law in that mix)

Star Trek, the next generation and Star Trek deep space nine. Star Trek Voyager is pretty rewatchable too.

"Gravity Falls"! Great to watch with the kids, too. (:

Futurama is my comfort show. The wet humor gets me everytime

[-] moleverine@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

This is my go-to. I have the old DVDs ripped onto my Plex server so that I can hit shuffle on all the old seasons and just watch episodes at random.

I watch a lot of cartoons, but when there's a dry season I find myself just rewatching The Simpsons or American Dad.

Usually the earlier stuff of course, but you get some gems in the later stuff, and the later stuff gets funnier the more you memorize the writing.

I'm beginning to suspect that nostalgia is a form of brain rot.

I’m beginning to suspect that nostalgia is a form of brain rot.

I've struggled hard to do it, but in my forties I'm still listening to new music and watching new media. I want to go out like John Peel, listening to good new music until the day I die.

I still listen to and watch a lot of old stuff, but I really try not to make it my main entree.

I honestly think if you're my age (mid forties) and you're still listening to music exclusively from the 90's it's gotta count as some type of arrested development.

Futurama. I’ve seen it thousands of times. That’s not an exaggeration.

Babylon 5.

Every time I watch it I’m stunned at how relevant it still is.

I watch too much tv:

Ted Lasso

The Good Place

Parks and Rec

The Office

Brooklyn 99

Northern Exposure

Friends

Schitt’s Creek

Sherlock

Monty Python’s Flying Circus

Fawlty Towers

[-] TheRealKuni@midwest.social 8 points 1 month ago

This tells me I need to watch Northern Exposure, Schitt’s Creek, and Fawlty Towers.

And that you need to watch 30 Rock, Community, Scrubs, and Arrested Development.

I still watch Spongebob, Dragonball, and I used to watch that 70s show a lot(harder to watch nowadays though)

[-] SnotFlickerman 7 points 1 month ago

Early Spongebob is easily re-watchable.

I've actually been rewatching some episodes of All In The Family airing on Pluto TV. It's remarkable (1) how little has changed and (2) how we've lost such great quality television over the past forty years.

Dr. Katz Professional Therapist

Home Movies

Mystery Science Theater 3000


I fall asleep to Dr. Katz all the time because it's just so calming and it always made me happy how much Dr. Katz loved and accepted his son Ben just as who he was. Most of the comedy aged pretty well, they didn't seem to have a lot of purposefully mean people on. I have a playlist that's just all the Dom Irerra episodes.

[-] TheOneAndOnly@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Parks and Rec, and Letterkenny, for me. Two of my absolutely most favorite shows. Both are ridiculous in the own way, but overall uplifting and positive.

[-] Perhapsjustsniffit@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

Deadwood, Californication, MASH, Carole Burnette
