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
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.
I was watching some of The Jeffersons episodes recently, it was on for 11 years. It’s a spin-off of All In The Family. Movin’ on up!
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.
Spaced
Regular Show has been one of my go-to rewatches to put on at night.
Surprised not to see Generation Kill here. I’ll watch it twice a year. Along with, as mentioned by many above, Seinfeld, Firefly, Community (preferably early seasons) etc.
The Simpsons. Pick your favourite seasons or watch them all, you can’t go wrong
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
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.
Mad Men
Robot Wars.
Craig Charles
MASH
Fleabag
The Queen’s Gambit
Malcolm in the Middle
Six Feet Under
Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
it’s been aging really well
The same can’t be said for Joss Whedon.
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.
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.
The Six Million Dollar Man. I became fascinated with this show recently, I find it amusing.
WKRP in Cincinnati is pretty funny too.
