Whats the most rewatchable TV series of all time?
-
it's been aging really well
The same can't be said for Joss Whedon.

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...

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 the memorize the writing.
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.

Unpopular Opinion: The endless reboots killed it for me.

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.

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.

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

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

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!

The Six Million Dollar Man. I became fascinated with this show recently, I find it amusing.
WKRP in Cincinnati is pretty funny too.

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.

It's just hard getting into new stuff without questioning whether it was sold to you through some kind of advert osmosis.
At least with the old stuff, there's little chance that you were target audience

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.

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.
