Star Trek: TNG, Parks and Recreation for the usual commie stuff. Band of Brothers and True Detective S1 to balance it out with some violence. Twin Peaks to stay weird.
I bet it's the one where the gang turns into black people and end up getting shot by police or something. I've only ever seen it once so I'm not 100% that's how it ends but I can see why it was banned lol
I hear friends complaining about how bad all new TV is, and I don't get it. I watch some new shows of course but none of them go back and rewatch old shows, it's weird to me. They have to have a constant stream of new programming. I'll kick on the office, how I met your mother, scrubs, parks and rec, Seinfeld, so many old shows that I loved and just hang out with them
New American shows are made with a different set of economics than shows 20+ years ago. Outside of remakes or sequels, the typical American sitcom is dead.
True. All of the shows I mentioned didn't hit their stride until season 3 or so. They would never make it today. Netflix will kill a show now if it doesn't make Office amounts of money by episode 4
You also have major changes to the writing process, part of it which came up during the writers' strike.
There used to be a whole team of writers writing for the show and they would tighten up scripts in a very collaborative writing process. Studios don't want to pay for it any more.
DVD and Blu-ray media are vanishing from stores because these studios want you to subscribe to shitty streaming services and never own your content. Buy your favorites physical now!
.... And pirate the rest you don't care for as much
Remember.... physical is king as drives don't last forever

The Mighty Boosh.
Community (can't censor my jellyfin server..).
N*tflix watchers don't even know they missed out on one of the best episodes.
edit: censor
Wait what?

Chang "cosplayed" as a dark elf.
It's seriously a great episode, they actually reference it several times in the series.
(Don't read the Plot section! Go watch it!)
I have all the episodes downloaded like a sane person.
Had no idea they cut the whole episode.
Advanced Dungeons and Dragons was removed from all online catalogs of which I am aware, it's a great ep.
It's back on Peacock for all 4 people that sub to Peacock
Firefly. Bonus: Serenity.

I love Firefly. If you can watch Serenity then I tip my hat to you. I find it twists the knife too much for my liking.

I can already tell I like you on a spiritual level
Banned episodes?
Tell me more as I just last week downloaded it all and don’t want to miss anything, please!

Sg-1 but in 1080p widescreen with 5.1 sound.
It's a mishmash of a couple different releases.
Tis fantastic.
I got 3:
Star Trek TNG
Star Trek DS9
and Star Trek Voyager
Ah, a Voyager fan. I never felt compelled to rewatch it but the Threshold song is taunting me to do it.
You're missing the Barclay Saga, lol.
DS9 is my fave but VOY had it's moments, certainly worth watching for the doctor alone.
If you want a good VOY episode that won't spoil anything, check out Living Witness (4x23).
Nvm, I misread your comment, you've seen it, leaving comment unedited for others.
Scrubs and Futurama.
With the original music, and in the correct order!
Adventure Time, Futurama, Community, King of the Hill, Bojack horseman, Archer
All very good shows I've already seen and therefore easy to game on the side with. Bonus because they can be easily watched shuffled
Me, snagging Infinity Train in super high quality last week

Frieren - Beyond Journeys End
Rewatching it right now. Just awesome awesome fantasy. Can't wait for a second season.
This thread is going to make my NAS sad. So many good ideas that I had forgotten about!
Also, King of the Hill.
I'm really just perpetually rewatching The West Wing
Downloaded the entire series a few months ago for the wife

Remember.... physical is king as drives don't last forever
All my Sega CD/PS2 games stopped working because of use during 2010s. It's when I stopped buying physical media.
Where with hard drives, the last forever if you follow a proper cloning/backup ritual.
Shit disc rot happened to you? I didn't think that was a thing for like a decade or two
Classic Doctor Who has had a permanent place on my drive for as long as I've had and external hard drive that could hold it all
The Office for me.
[email protected] is people are interested

New Doctor Who and Supernatural I think. Although I haven't got time to do full rewatch now, just occasionally watch some random episodes
Sperad
Over the Garden Wall at the moment.
Make that..."shows" ;3
I just stopped watching shows/movies 🤷🏼♂️ i have better things to do with my time
What a perfectly rational thing to post in a television and shows forum. You totally don't seem like you're trying to be annoying..
In the past I would have written a lot more, now I just block dummies. After briefly calling them dumb.
To the blocking!
