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

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

[-] moleverine@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days 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.

[-] mercano@lemmy.world 53 points 5 days ago

Surprised no one’s brought up Futurama yet.

Unpopular Opinion: The endless reboots killed it for me.

[-] JackFrostNCola@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

I dont see them as endless reboots i see them as repeated assaination attempts.
This is a good analysis of the shows life cycle where its pretty clear the show was fucked over repeatedly by the networks hosting it and its just refused to die. A case of when fans love something by execs dont.

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

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.

[-] Kng@feddit.rocks 5 points 4 days ago

+1 for arrested development. Took me until season 3 to realize the next episode previews were fake

[-] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 31 points 5 days ago

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.

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.

Seinfeld for me.

Closely followed by IT Crowd

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 4 days 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.

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

[-] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 17 points 5 days ago

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

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)

I feel like I’ll get roasted but, maybe Family Guy. I always understand new references and catch new jokes each rewatch

[-] Devanismyname@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 days ago

The expanse is top tier tv. Not sure how it wasn't more popular. Community is gonna go down as one of the classics

[-] Adm_Drummer@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

The Expanse may be the best bit of sci-fi I have ever had the joy to watch and read.

I'm surprised I don't see Battlestar Galactica or Star Trek Next Generation here yet.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 12 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

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.
