Indefinite rewatchability is my revealed top criterion for a TV show to be on my favorites list. Surprisingly, this maps to a certain mediocrity and inefficiency in storytelling. Fat narrative over lean. So shows can fail to make my list by being too bad OR too good to rewatch.

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
