Rick & Morty
While the whole series was still streaming, I watched Red vs Blue on a constant loop for years.
Yeah me too,
Apparently one of the original creators got the license back from Warner Bros recently, so we might see it on again somewhere
Yeah I heard that, but i don’t think Burnie bought the rights to RVB just Roosterteeth
I guess I assumed that would include at least some limited rights to RvB.
As good as that would be, RvB was the profitable part of the business along with RWBY.
I can’t imagine them being among the “left over” assets of the company.
Either way I listen to Good Morning Gustavo (formally ANMA) and So, Alright…
That’s the extent of my Roosterteeth viewings for the past few years.
The RT podcast fell off for me along with everything else they were doing
Surprised no one’s brought up Futurama yet.
I was just about to comment Futurama! Really not sure what to think of the newer episodes though…
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.
Still better than most new adult animated shows
I felt the same way about the Hulu episodes until Quids Game, which I just straight-up hated, at first. No real connection to the larger premise, just torture porn in the form of weird aliens playing with/killing off the familiar characters.
Later, it hit me: The episode is a meta-commentary on the Hulu seasons. The “quids” are self-insert characters for the writers, poking fun at themselves. They aren’t doing a coherent storyline with this reboot, they’re just playing with familiar characters in different scenarios, and wringing out a few new jokes in a way that they couldn’t do with the established canon. In a way, it’s Futurama fanfic by Futurama writers.
From that perspective, I’ve found the reboot a lot more enjoyable. The good parts are a bonus, and the duds are forgettable.
I think the last two seasons were very much hit or miss. Some really good eps but also some really awful ones.
Unpopular Opinion: The endless reboots killed it for me.
My entire counterargument is the fast fashion episode. That one was brilliant.
Yup. Just the original series for me
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.
The Fox era was great. But the Comedy Central and Hulu seasons are subpar.

Everybody Loves Raymond
All three are old comdy series, clean and classic. I don’t think they make comedy this wholesomely good anymore.

Southpark (earlier seasons were more rewatchable)
The office
How i met your mother
Black books
ScrubsI feel like I’ll get roasted but, maybe Family Guy. I always understand new references and catch new jokes each rewatch
The Simpsons. Pick your favourite seasons or watch them all, you can’t go wrong
Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
it’s been aging really well
The same can’t be said for Joss Whedon.
Just did a rewatch with daughter. She wanted to watch after seeing the musical episode. Still stands up in my opinion even though we know Joss and some of the cast weren’t perfect.
The Season 6 rapey tech bros were still a very hard watch and skipped an episode or two in that season but hard not to see it as a bit prescient - it was before Gamergate and the right wing radicalisation of young men online. Should have paid more attention. It went a bit over my head first time.
Working through Angel now. Will see how that holds up. Has been a long time between watches. I kind of started House again though so …
Wife can watch unlimited Supernatural and I think she might hold a record for rewatches of Voyager.
Ensemble comedies like UK Ghosts and Community seem popular for rewatching with family. I think that is probably a general theme along with animations. Less serious shows tend to do better I think. Psych and Monk are probably more likely to get a rewatch than a serious procedural.
Except for the last season. There are some lines that really feel like the writers talking to themselves about how they painted themselves into a corner.
Painted into what corner? Seven was always supposed to be the final season, and included a bunch of things that only made real sense big picture if you knew about the Buffy universe comics, like the scythe. The Season 8 etc. comics are so out there that they were never intended for actual production.
Season 6 was the real klunker because they had shifted from WB to UPN, so production after an epic season 5 had lots of new staff, so it ended up in a lot of uninspired drudgery, monster of the week blah, plus Buffy has to work now and that sucks worse because you can’t stake a mortgage and dust it.
Anything with Sir David Attenborough or Ken Burns
Kings off-topic, but after listening to the audio book I really want a World War Z miniseries in the style of a Ken Burns documentary.
Burns, you say?
Extreme elimination challenge.
Doesn’t matter the episode or if you join half way into an episode, still a silly watch
Robot Wars.
Craig Charles
At least for me:
Dr. Who (First through Fifth Doctor mostly)
Original Star Trek
Star Trek: TNG
Star Trek: Voyager
Star Trek: DS9
I really wish I was even a little bit British so I could watch Dr Who. But it’s unwatchable to me. Even the two very attractive sidekicks can’t keep me interested.
It’s definitely something that you have to grow up with. I was lucky to have an uncle who was obsessed with The Fourth Doctor when I was a child, and my love of the show comes from that. I wish some of the older stuff could be redone: it’s unwatchable for many because it was made for an audience who had tiny black and white TVs and a great deal more patience.
Having it on your whole life is definitely something that I imagine contributes to enjoying it. I love the idea, and some of the lore is pretty cool.
If you like the lore but watching it makes you want to stab your eyes out, look into the Target novelisations. They are mostly faithful to what was on the TV, and you get to use your imagination instead of BBC’s production values. They were usually written by the same person who wrote the script. I actually prefer the novels for several stories and was really, really disappointed when I finally had a chance to see them. A big bonus is the Target books are pretty cheap and easy to find used.
That’s an interesting idea. Thank you
Of course! I hope you find a way to enjoy Who. It is a lovely universe. The other idea would be to look into Big Finish audio—they do a lot of interesting Who stuff.
Stargate sg1
Or
M.A.S.H.
Hmm as a gen Z do I rewatch stargate or try mash?
Good question : sadly it’s flip a coin and watch one… Sorry you’ll have to burn the other one
Watch Mash.
Yes it will have some very cringe aspects you will have to get over.
But i still think it’s the best show ever produced and it is often just as relevant any time you watch it or rewatch it.
The reason is they really dealt with some very difficult issues in surprisingly well done ways.
I could go on for a long time but i do really do think this show has everything.
It’s comedy and then it fucking hits you right in the feels with no mercy
And the character development from many, though not all, is great.
But if you do watch it pay attention to the tone difference between them in the operating room and outside of it.
The show runners managed to get some concessions about when and where to use the laugh track and iirc they almost never have laugh track in the operating room.
Characters change and the show is set up that it just makes sense that the 4077 would be different at different times.
Hawkeye Pierce as lower ranked officer being the Chief Surgeon is proven many many times over in the show in spite of other characters that outrank him.
Another reason to watch it is to check out the sheer number of cameos, >!from pat morita, patrick swayze, leslie nielson and many more!<
Its a real cinephile experience seeing some actors before they got famous (though I’m not sure how obvious those cameos will be to too many people anymore)
And yes I’m incredibly biased as this is my favorite show of all time
Additionally, The Ranch from netflix hit very similarly in how they mixed comedy and then shit getting real very quickly.
I’m not unhappy they removed the actor from the show, but it’s too recent for me to be able to recommend it given the problems with him. Rather unfortunate
My favorite show of all time as well, OP, if you see this, do yourself a favor and watch the entire show without the laugh track.
Seinfeld hands down.
In love Seinfeld
