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

      I really should get around to re-watching Futurama. I often say Professor Farnsworth’s ‘Good news, everyone!’ to myself :-)

      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.

        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.

        I think the last two seasons were very much hit or miss. Some really good eps but also some really awful ones.

        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.

    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

    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.

      “It’s cold outside, there’s no kind of atmosphere” is stuck in my head forever.

      …and the jumping off a plane, riding on a crocodile, killing a nazi scene.

        I love that show, saw it plenty of times from start to finish…

    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.

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

        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.

        Good question : sadly it’s flip a coin and watch one… Sorry you’ll have to burn the other one
