The Simpsons. Pick your favourite seasons or watch them all, you can’t go wrong
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 :-)
You won’t regret it!
I'm surprised I don't see Battlestar Galactica or Star Trek Next Generation here yet.
Band of Brothers
It's an annual thing for me
Mythbusters
How its made
Haven't seen these as alternate options
Seinfeld for me.
Closely followed by IT Crowd
I feel like I’ll get roasted but, maybe Family Guy. I always understand new references and catch new jokes each rewatch
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.
Extreme elimination challenge.
Doesn't matter the episode or if you join half way into an episode, still a silly watch
Surprised not to see Generation Kill here. I'll watch it twice a year. Along with, as mentioned by many above, Seinfeld, Firefly, Community (preferably early seasons) etc.
- Black Adder
- Adventure Time
- The Last Of Us
- The Expanse

- Friends
The expanse is top tier tv. Not sure how it wasn't more popular. Community is gonna go down as one of the classics
The Expanse may be the best bit of sci-fi I have ever had the joy to watch and read.
I didn't get that far into the show because I was bored and lost in the space battles. Action scenes are always shakey cameras and me being confused about who's on what ship. I was extremely interested in the human dramas, politics, and especially the mystery of the fungal thing. The acting and dialects were really cool though, and I'd probably miss out on those unless the author does a good job writing them. Does it seem like I'd prefer reading it instead? I kind of feel like I just talked myself into trying the show again. :s
A lot of the issues you mentioned get solved in season 2. I think there was a network shift and the camera work got better. Later on Amazon pumped a lot of money into the show as well. It's really worth the watch and I'd love to hear back from you if you do.
If you're a gamer there's a Telltale game that follows this account's namesake. Camina Drummer.
The writers did a fantastic job writing all the dialogue in the books. I would argue it's on par or even better than the show. Which is hard, considering the writers for the books produced and even wrote the screenplays for the show.
As someone who shares a line of work with Bobby Draper and many other characters, the military jargon and quips are also spot on. Never have I heard such accurate lingo and expression in sci-fi.
Surprised no one’s brought up Futurama yet.
Unpopular Opinion: The endless reboots killed it for me.
I dont see them as endless reboots i see them as repeated assaination attempts.
This is a good analysis of the shows life cycle where its pretty clear the show was fucked over repeatedly by the networks hosting it and its just refused to die. A case of when fans love something by execs dont.

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.

Babylon 5.
Every time I watch it I’m stunned at how relevant it still is.
I sooo wanted to rewatch that. But I just cannot get past the special effects these days. I thought it was great when it was on, now it's unwatchable for me. It's like, Playstation 1 cutscenes: the show.
I just finished watching the series for the first time the other day. I started out a little skeptical it would have aged well and there's a few moments that reminded me it came out in the early 90s, but wow what a fantastic show. And what a time to be watching it, some of those newscast episodes hit close to home.
I think it'll be on my rewatch list too now.
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
the glory (korean tv series)
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.

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.
