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.
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…
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.
Still better than most new adult animated shows
I think the last two seasons were very much hit or miss. Some really good eps but also some really awful ones.
The Fox era was great. But the Comedy Central and Hulu seasons are subpar.
Red Dwarf
Monty Pythons Flying Circus
IT Crowd
Mr. Robot

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.
Oh man, I haven’t rewatched Archer is ages. Now I need to
Stargate sg1
Or
M.A.S.H.
The Wire.
Gets better every time I watch it.
King of the Hill
- Friends
- Golden Simpsons Era
- Futurama
- Star Trek TNG/Voyager
- X-files
I have a hard time watching any sitcoms. I can do one watch through but then I feel like I know all the joeks already, which is weird, because that is not an issue with me for futurama for example. Have to agree about TNG
Futurama is my comfort show. The wet humor gets me everytime
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.
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
MASH
Star Trek, the next generation and Star Trek deep space nine. Star Trek Voyager is pretty rewatchable too.
Seinfeld hands down.
In love Seinfeld
Black Books
Venture Bros
Seinfeld
Ken Burns’ Baseball
Firefly
M.A.S.H.
It’s a gorram shame how few Firefly episodes there are.
Agree, but also think it might kind of be a part of what makes it great. Didn’t go so long to get ruined. Gave us just enough to love it and imagine what could have been. Everyone gets to have their own fantasies of where it might have gone next.
Didn’t go so long to get ruined
I think it’s safe to say they had plenty of rope left before that were danger of that happening
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.
