Television

Oh and if we wanna talk garbage television, I have watched Save By The Bell and Full House. I have watched both shows way more than want to admit.

We even swung by the “Full House” house while we were in San Francisco last week.

Oh man, I watched SO MUCH Saved By The Bell. At one point we had at least three different channels available that were airing different seasons and I would typically watch all three, daily.

It’s so strange because even as a kid I knew it was terrible yet I still watched religiously on NBC Saturdays (following Saturday Morning Cartoons and prior to WWF wrestling) and then constantly in reruns throughout college.

As far as dramas go:

I have rewatched Band of Brothers more than a dozen times (it’s only 10 episodes so it invites rewatching without too much commitment). I recently rewatched The Pacific for the first time and while it was better than I remembered it still doesn’t hold a candle to Band Of Brothers.

I have watched Deadwood twice but the movie only once. I have also watched The Wire, Justified and Rome twice.

I’ve watch The Sopranos three times and I watched Breaking Bad three time, the last time I rewatched it, it was part of a super rewatch that included Better Call Saul. Better Call Saul is one that I have rewatched multiple times season to season, I would rewatch all prior seasons once a new season started up; so I have watched the first season 6 times but the final season only once. I also did something similar with Succession so the first season, I have watched 4 times but the final season only once.

I have rewatched seasons of Game Of Thrones multiple times in much of the same way but since the show ended I have rewatched the show in its entirety 2 more times. Mad Men is my favorite. I have watched it all the way through 5 times but I need to work through it and Sopranos each another time now that I have episode guides that I want to accompany through each shows rewatch respectively.

I am thinking about rewatching the first season AMC’s The Terror since I noticed it’s now available for streaming on Netflix.

I also need to finish up Northern Exposure and now that Homicide: Life On The Streets is streaming on Peacock I need to dive in to that fully.

As far as “Comedies” go, I have seen The Simpsons, particularly the first 10 seasons, more than any other show by far. I have also watched Cheers, Seinfeld and 30 Rock dozens of times. I have also rewatched Happy Endings, The Office and Parks & Recreation several times. I have also watched The Adventures of Pete & Pete all the way through at least 5 times. I have also rewatch Freaks & Geeks and Undeclared on multiple occasions.

The most recent rewatch show on the lists are House of The Dragon and The Bear which I am rewatching every time a new season drops.

Oh yeah, I've watched Deadwood a few times. Been a couple years since my last rewatch. I think I last did it when the movie came out.

I figured our lists would be similar. I lost track of Simpsons, Cheers, Seinfeld and Brady Bunch rewatches. Parks & Rec I only have two full watches I think, that's worth going back for. And Community. Freaks and Geeks is one I've watched at least three times.

Band of Brothers I could watch yearly, that is some of the best "TV" ever made.

Deadwood and Game of Thrones are shows I could watch part of almost any episode if I happen by it. Although the days of flipping through channels is mostly gone with streaming now.

For now though, we are loving Your Honor. Halfway through season 1 and it has Ozark vibes...like, the tension building, and quick shifts of what you think is happening or about to. Plus great dialog, delivered by a fantastic cast.

I feel the need to watch Breaking Bad again, and it'll probably be my fourth time. Sopranos and Mad Men might be higher than that. Just curious how others are with re-watches....what's your highest amount of watches for a particular show you love?

We re-watch The Office, Community, Peep Show, Breaking Bad, and Uncle. Currently, we're rewatching King of the Hill in prep for the reboot and The Last Man on Earth. I've watched Peep Show the most and my wife has re-watched The Office a lot. I'll watch with her until Carell's exit, but then just choice episodes for me.

My wife is a serial rewatcher of shows, but I only really do that with cartoons like Bob's Burger, Gary and his Demons, The Simpsons, etc. Mainly because I'll toss them on in the background when I'm cooking dinner or grading papers.

I'm terms of legit rewatching. I think I've done Star Trek: The Next Generation four or five times. I did Breaking Bad twice. Recently did Station Eleven for the third time. I think I've watched season one of Westworld a few times too.

That's me with Futurama, if the username and profile pic weren't indicators. Background noise at this point, but one I quote constantly and never tire of.

Was it a good re-watch? I liked it the first time through.

We're still in season 1 of our re-watch and so far it still holds up. The characters are so funny and well acted, it's a treat to get to see them again. I found Kristen Schaal's Carol a bit grating the first time I watched it, but am loving her on the re-watch. I'm not sure why she didn't click for me in hindsight, seeing some of her other work since then has probably warmed me to her style. I absolutely love Mary Steenburgen in the show, she's so perfectly nihilistic. I remember loving how they used guest actors so I'm looking forward to working through the show.

The writing is still hilarious too, they even did fat jokes in a thoughtful way, which is a real skill in sitcoms. It's a show we quote so much around the house it has become tradition that when I send flowers to my wife the card is always some variation on "It truly was a Shawshank Redemption."

My wife was super against this show because she hated Will Forte's character so much when it came out, but she forgot about her hate and randomly started watching it this summer. I hung out with Kristen a few times in highschool (overlapping friend groups) and as much as I love her voice work it makes me so happy to see her on camera. So I don't know if my opinion is tainted from my bias, but for someone who hates cringe I still loved this show from the few episodes I caught for the second time during my wife's watch this summer.

Wasn't that kind of her character though? I found her, initially, grating too but I thought that was one of the points of her. That is, until you figure out (early on) how much of an unlikeable character Will Forte is. Then again, he grows on you too and I found myself rooting for him even in his selfishness and self-serving schemes.
