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.

Iโ€™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.

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.

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

Early Spongebob is easily re-watchable.

Came here for this. Was not disappointed.

Extreme elimination challenge.

Doesn't matter the episode or if you join half way into an episode, still a silly watch

Anything with Sir David Attenborough or Ken Burns

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.

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.

Spaced from Simon Pegg and Friends is probably the series i have rewatched the most, was just going to watch it again this week with a friend, it's been a couple years, but it always is good

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.

Any of the first 39 of the 52 episodes, any time, any year.

All time classic!

the glory (korean tv series)

While the whole series was still streaming, I watched Red vs Blue on a constant loop for years.

Seinfeld is a more "family friendly" option.

But Curb Your Enthusiasm can be put on an endless loop, and I'd still laugh my ass off at every episode.
