Forgot South Park as a big one in the sweet spot. Some shows I need longer between rewatches. If shortness of refractory period between rewatches is the metric, my top shows are Futurama and Psych. The Simpsons fails this scheme due to zombification.

The mediocrity manifests as a 2d character arc, lots of undeveloped little bits of fat, non sequitur jokes. Narrative comfort food.

Probably surprising, but The Office is not among my favorite shows. Never rewatched after it finished airing and I finished my blog series on it. Futurama otoh is my most rewatched show. Probably 6-7 full watch-throughs. But it’s never really fueled any writing.

Yes Minister was on a big rewatch rotation, but the Great Weirding killed it for me. Maybe it will be rewatchable again in a few years if the world improves.https://twitter.com/swarroup/status/1312609610537164800 …

No Hindi shows from before I moved to the US are on the list.
Partly lack of access, but mostly just poor quality. Indian TV 1980s-90s was... not good. And I think it got worse after I left in 97, not better.Show this thread

Shawshank redemption is like that for me.

In my experience, it's less about the narrative itself than the richness of the characters.

I'm always on the hunt for this sort of show. I imagine my list will never grow beyond two hands though. So far, only three shows hit the sweet spot for me: Mad Men (9x viewings), The Sopranos (3x), and The Wire (3x).
