I’m re-watching The Magicians with my wife, since she’s never seen it. It’s been long enough since I watched it last that I don’t remember a lot of things that happened, so there’s a lot of “I forgot got that!” moments for me, which is fun.
Futurama, which is basically on an endless loop before bed. It is just so clever and a great comfort show, with a bit of different animation and storytelling styles through the reboots and revivals.
Except the most recent season, it doesn’t work for me so when it kicks in I switch back to season 1.
That’s one of my bedtime / fall asleep to shows.
Also South Park, Simpsons, Rick and Morty.
I’ve got American Dad playing during the night. It’s being streamed on a loop from a channel on twitch (for now). It’s nice background noise to fall asleep to.
Community! It’s still streets ahead.
I couldn’t find a Community community on Lemmy, so I made one. Come join me and the one other person who’s subscribed so far.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !community_tv@lemmings.world
Star Trek: The Next Generation
It’s my comfort show so I’ve probably watched it all the way through dozens of times, but it’s still the best tv show ever put to screen.
Just recently finished rewatching House MD.
Hugh Laurie is ridiculously handsome. Olivia Wilde is beautiful beyond words.
And Jesse Spencer’s hair, by the gods.
All up, the show meandered and was formulaic (by design). Parts of it aged terribly, but was a good rewatch
My SO hadn’t seen House so we’re doing it now. It’s going slow because while it’s a great show, it’s a little too formulaic to be binge-able. We’re in the next to last season now.
I recently finished a Frasier rewatch which actually made me realize I’m not sure I EVER finished the last season. Still a great show but I doubt I’ll watch the reboot.
Avatar: The last airbender
Because it’s good.
Same!
Theoretically it was in preparation to watch the new Netflix series.
After finishing the first season; before starting season two I put on the Netflix series. I made it about 5 minutes into Ep1 before deciding I’d just finish my rewatch of the original series instead.
Man, that Netflix show is bad…
I found it to be… fine. The actors and your expectations settle in after a couple of episodes. The Zuko actor is actually pretty good, Iroh is a different take but damned if Paul Sun-Hyung Lee’s enthusiasm for every goony-ass genre part he does isn’t infectious, and Sokka and Katara grow into their show personas. Aang… eventually gets less distracting.
The production design is authentic to the show, and Appa, Momo, and June’s mole-wolf-horse thing are all well done. I don’t think this show was necessary at all, and parts of it are stubbornly weak, but if it gets a new cohort of fans into the universe and watching the cartoons, it could be a net positive.
The thing that bothered me the most is how Aang sounds exactly like Dewey from Malcolm in the Middle
I liked the first episode of the live action show well enough. I might add it to our rotation.
Everything you say sounds reasonable. I might give it another go but something about the whole universe my brain was just fine with accepting in animation but it just absolutely bounced off of in live action.
