I’ve been rewatching my favorites (Mr. Robot, Andor, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) and I’m curious: What is your favorite show of all time? What makes that your favorite?

    all 3 stargate series. oldtrek mostly, nutrek is just not even close, other than prodigy and lower decks, snw i find its still not good considering what other people are saying. use a different showrunner.

    maybe spn although its through comprehensive videos of the seasons which fans graciously posted on youtube, mostly s1-5. inuyasha, not yashime or whatever it is, because fans made it weird, by making it a grooming situation rin+ sesshomaru. blue gender, Fullmetal alchemist, the og series. the new one is somewhat all over place. pre-disney takeover of marvel shows. gifted, runaways, AOS.

    grimm might be up someones alley, it has a spn spin to it, and it ended as it should, and not dragged on forever like with supernatural.

    a short series, DAMAGES, with glenn close, if you ignore the network changes that included sex scences for some reason.

    medical drama: House, ER just not the last few seasons, which one of the actors became the showrunner of pitt. not any of those new ones with nobody actors i keep seeing on youtube.

    bio shows, like monsters inside me.

    netflix original: CASTLEVANIa, the first series one. the 2nd one is currently in limbo, as netflix sees which shows to cancel.

    sandman and blood of zeus if they hadnt rushed to cancelled these series.

    I was gonna say Firefly. “Objects in Space” is amazing.

    But it’s Ted Lasso, since at least once in every episode it gives me some happy or sad feels and I think we all need to feel the feels.

    Quantum Leap is the gold standard for me.

    Runners up: Night Court, Better Call Saul, Bojack Horseman, and The Twilight Zone. Those are all shows I have rewatched multiple times.

    Gonna go with something differrent here

    Adventure Times

    Quite long running series that starts super silly but actually does explain all the weirdness that you see from the beginning over its runtime. You think its just a cute strange setting with candy people, some magic and a planet half destroyed that looks a bit like Earth. But there’s a whole story behind it and it slowly unfolds more and more over the seasons.

    It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

    It’s gross, it’s wrong, it’s mean, it’s hilarious.

        1000%

        The cracks form quickly in 13, but Time’s Up for the Gang, The gang solves the bathroom problem, and the gang gets new wheels are great.

        14 has Paddy’s has a jumper, the gang solves global warming, a woman’s right to chop are good episodes. The others range from meh to always skip.

        15 was a total wash.

        And from there, I don’t care.

          i read in an article a while back they looked tired and wanted to give up by end of s14. obviously, if you know the actors, kaitlyn, charlie, rob, glenn they dont have much going on for them as far as hollywood goes. they are kinda stuck with the show they cant create. also thier bizarre behaviour, as in plastic surgery and robs name change and his questionable colloborations.

          even the isaip sub, the people were kinda shocked at robs trying to stay in hollywood elite circle.

    Like others my favorites change a lot, but having just rewatched Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood… Dude what an awesome show. Always cry at least 5 times watching it. For sure deserving of a fixed spot on any top 10s.

    And one I haven’t seen anyone mention: Andor. The best Star Wars anything ever.

    Ones that I deeply love to the core but wouldn’t consider comfort TV:

    • Sense8
    • Bojack Horseman
    • Fleabag (and I will probably never watch it again tbh)
    • Atlanta
    • Heated Rivalry

    Comfort shows:

    • Heated Rivalry (ya twice)
    • Law & Order: SVU (yes I know it’s copaganda but I will die for Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler and you can pry this show from my cold dead fictional-cop-loving hands)
    • Red Dwarf
    • Doctor Who (the RTD era)
    • Dinosaurs (the criminally underrated puppet one from the 1990s that every adult needs to rewatch immediately)

    Honourable mentions for me have mostly been mentioned by other commenters but Schitt’s Creek, Arrested Development, The Good Place. And one I haven’t seen in this thread yet, Resident Alien!
