Unpopular Opinion: The endless reboots killed it for me.
My entire counterargument is the fast fashion episode. That one was brilliant.
Yup. Just the original series for me

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.

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.

"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.

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
Futurama
Also, Disenchanted
At least for me:
Dr. Who (First through Fifth Doctor mostly)
Original Star Trek
Star Trek: TNG
Star Trek: Voyager
Star Trek: DS9

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.
Star Trek, the next generation and Star Trek deep space nine. Star Trek Voyager is pretty rewatchable too.
I've definitely re-watched old Adult Swim stuff. Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Sealab 2021 in particular. (I need to include Harvey Birdman Attorney At Law in that mix)

"Gravity Falls"! Great to watch with the kids, too. (:
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
MASH
Black Books
Many good series mentioned, I want to add: Community
Mr. Bean
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.
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.

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

I still watch Spongebob, Dragonball, and I used to watch that 70s show a lot(harder to watch nowadays though)
Early Spongebob is easily re-watchable.
Babylon 5.
Every time I watch it I’m stunned at how relevant it still is.

I watch too much tv:
Ted Lasso
The Good Place
Parks and Rec
The Office
Brooklyn 99
Northern Exposure
Friends
Schitt’s Creek
Sherlock
Monty Python’s Flying Circus
Fawlty Towers
This tells me I need to watch Northern Exposure, Schitt’s Creek, and Fawlty Towers.
And that you need to watch 30 Rock, Community, Scrubs, and Arrested Development.

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.
