The sopranos. Easily one of the best shows ever made. I catch new things every time I watch. David Chase is genius.

MASH. Just comforting background noise from my childhood really.

OG Simpsons. Seasons 3 to tenish. Some of the best writing ever.

Futurama, preferring the older seasons, but the later ones are still good.

I've recently started watching Hill Street Blues. Most of which is available on you tube if anyone's interested. Really been enjoying it.

Lemmy is really a different type of audience.

This question each and every time had The West Wing as top rated answer on the other platform consistently, but here even Taskmaster gets 8 votes.

The West Wing was required medicine to get through 45. For 47, I’m hearing good things about 86.

Futurama and avatar are endlessly rewatchable imo

I usually have one of these on in the background whenever I’m coding. I can’t code in silence and if I have music I end up singing and can’t concentrate.

I rewatch a lot of things that I enjoy but in recent years, shows that I've seen multiple times the most for various reasons like watching again with someone else are: iZombie, Doom Patrol and Fringe.

Gotta finish off with Enterprise, it has been a long road.

[–] son_of_phil@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago

Underrated take. The true end of the TNG era of shows.

(not era of time, obviously)

Futurama.

I put it on to fall asleep. I'm out before the episode ends. A downside is that I've seen the start of so many episodes, but rarely the end.

Band of Brothers once per year, without fail. Curahee!

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh, man. Fantastic show, but I find it really hard to watch because I know it's so damn accurate.

I admire your commitment, it should be in high school history classes. It shows better than anything I've ever watched, how hellish it was for everyone.

The D-day beaches, holy hell.

I’m dating myself:

  • Hogans Heroes
  • Mission: Impossible (the TV series from the 60’s & 70’s, not the movie franchise that’s just a Tom Cruise adrenaline fantasy)

Usually, it's Parks and Rec, The Office, Scrubs, and IASIP. But I have gotten sick of those after watching most of them a dozen plus times, so now it's Community, Zoeys Playlist, and Cougar Town until I get sick of them too
