Chronic Re-watchers, Unite!
We live in an age where rewatching a TV show isn’t just common—it’s practically a sport. From laugh-out-loud comedies to heartstring-tugging dramas, certain series capture our hearts and keep us hitting "play" over and over.
Parks And Recreation
Leslie Knope and the Parks Department of Pawnee are like comfort food for your funny bone. Amy Poehler’s boundless optimism packs every episode with heart, belly laughs, and occasional waffle breaks. Whether it's "Treat Yo’ Self" or "Bye, April," this show's inside jokes never fade—and neither does your love for Ron Swanson's woodworking wisdom.
NBC, Parks and Recreation (2009–2015)
New Girl
Quirky socks, loft shenanigans, and Zooey Deschanel’s eternally hopeful Jess? Yes please. New Girl hits that sweet spot of goofy comedy, heartfelt friendships, and perfect awkwardness. It’s like jello—wobbly, colorful, and delightfully messy—just like its relationships, stories, and endless running gags.
20th Television, New Girl (2011–2018)
The Office
Ah, The Office. Where else can you find existential agony wrapped in a stapler-in-Jell-O joke? Whether it’s Jim's smirk, Dwight’s beet obsession, or Michael’s painfully sincere "That’s what she said," this show is a cultural meme machine.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
A precinct full of lovable weirdos solving crimes and cracking jokes? Sign me up. Andy Samberg, Andre Braugher, Terry Crews, and Stephanie Beatriz deliver comedic chemistry that never gets old. Every rewatch is like catching up with old (extremely hilarious) friends.
NBCUniversal Television, Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013–2021)
Gossip Girl
“Spotted: the most scandalous drama of your screenshots.” Gossip Girl made gossip glam, and those Upper East Side dramas never go out of style. Fashion, backstabbing, and teen angst? It’s the perfect rewatch when you want delicious melodrama served with iced lattes.
Warner Bros. Television, Gossip Girl (2007–2012)
Futurama
When you need intergalactic escapism, Futurama delivers with sci-fi wit and emotional layers. It’s beloved for rewatch value thanks to jokes that land even harder the second (or tenth) time around. The blend of humor and heart keeps fans hitting “rewind” well into the future.
20th Television, Futurama (1999–2013; 2023– )
Friends
Friends is the sitcom gold standard for a reason—quippy one‑liners, coffee shop camaraderie, and relationship chaos that still feels universal. It sits high on the rewatch radar thanks to its timeless humor and emotional beats.
Bob’s Burgers
Welcome to Bob’s Burgers, where a family runs a burger joint—and jokes that are punny, awkward, and adorable in equal measure. The Belchers bring quirky warmth that feels like a warm, grilled cheeseburger for your soul.
20th Television, Bob’s Burgers (2011– )
Fleabag
Phoebe Waller‑Bridge’s razor‑sharp wit slices through every scene, dragging you into the messy, brilliant mind of “Fleabag.” Each rewatch reveals new layers of cringy honesty and find‑yourself‑mid‑chaos energy. It’s triumphant, tear‑jerking, and unforgivingly clever.
Ted Lasso
Nothing says “I need good vibes” like Ted Lasso’s folksy optimism. His stubborn kindness, the AFC Richmond crew, and biscuits with the boss? You’ll fall for its relentless warmth and clever silliness every time.
Apple TV+, Ted Lasso (2020–2023)
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Slaying demons… and media stereotypes—Buffy is a supernatural comfort blanket. Early‑2000s teen drama, witty pop‑culture references, and epic arcs make it a rewatch pick. It's lauded for being iconic and influential, still drawing viewers back decades later.
20th Television, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997–2003)
Yellowstone
Ranch drama, Taylor Sheridan swagger, and tension thicker than Wyoming air? Yellowstone is binge’s modern cowboy epic. It’s cultural gravity and endless plot layers make it a prime candidate for rewatching.
Paramount Network, Yellowstone (2018– )
Sherlock
Masterfully plotted mysteries and Sherlock’s sardonic charm make every episode a layered puzzle box. With replays, you catch the tiniest clue and relish Benedict Cumberbatch’s verbal lightning. It's smart, stylish—and always worth another spin.
That 70s Show
Chillin’ and stylin’ like it’s 1998…sorry, the 70s. That ‘70s Show is nostalgia sauce with low-stakes humor, memorable characters, and basement banter that your teenage self remembers like it was yesterday. Rewatch? Feels like a reunion—with Eric, Donna, Fez, and all.
Carsey-Werner Distribution, That ’70s Show (1998–2006)
Avatar: The Last Airbender
A masterclass in storytelling disguised as kid-friendly fantasy. Every rewatch reveals richer mythology, character arcs that punch you emotionally, and world‑building that’s still jaw‑dropping. Rewatching isn’t just comforting—it’s discovering new magic.
Nickelodeon, Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005–2008)
Community
Meta, weird, pop‑culture‑reference paradise. Community dissects genres, winks at viewers, and layers in emotional weight that deepens with each watch. It's critically adored and binge‑star quality in meta‑comedy.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
A whirlwind 1950s comedy goldmine—vibrant characters, rapid‑fire dialogue, and Midge Maisel’s stand‑up sparkle pull you right back in. Its comedic momentum and captivating era aesthetic keep you coming back for more.
Amazon Studios, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (2017–2023)
Grey’s Anatomy
This hospital drama that once hooked us with “McDreamy” keeps us watching with emotional gore and meltdowns. With so many seasons and so many feels, it’s a tear‑jerking, coffee‑drinking, emotionally lava‑flow rewatch juggernaut.
The Simpsons
This is good for the ultimate TV marathon. Decades of satire, memorable lines, and family dysfunction served with cartoon precision. It's essentially endless rewatch fuel—with more quality episodes than most shows ever dreamed of.
20th Television, The Simpsons (1989– )
Cheers
Where everybody—really—knows your name. Its barroom warmth, quick humor, and lovable regulars give you that “just dropped in” coziness every single time.
Paramount Television, Cheers (1982–1993)
Schitt’s Creek
From riches to… small-town schticks. Schitt’s Creek dishes up a heartfelt journey of learning love, acceptance, and Eugene Levy’s eyebrows. It’s delightful and endlessly replayable.
CBC, Schitt’s Creek (2015–2020)
Psych
Shaggy-haired, keen-eyed Shawn Spencer fakes detective powers, cracks wise, and solves crimes with flair. It’s goofy, procedural comfort with fast pacing and one-liners that honestly improve with each rewatch.
NBCUniversal Television, Psych (2006–2014)
