most shows lasting that long have great arcs, as it allows time to flesh the characthers and lore. nushows are too short to capitlize that. sg1, old trek. AOS(agents of shields). maybe except for shows that have to adhere to comics, and the story ends with it.
supernatural 1-5 golden era, shouldve ended there, 6,8 is are pretty decent adding some change of story"post apocalypse" 7,9,10 were fillers, 11 had a somewhat ok season with the god counterpart, 12-14,15 were total fillers. aside from the final princes, dint like how jack was shoehorned into the show to give him a nepostic chance of acting, one of the reason they dint bring back the anti-christ.
Not bringing back the anti-christ was a huge failing of that show. His episode was one of the best and they could have built out such a good arc for him.
I watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the first time this year. It was the perfect end-of-day comfort show.
Now I’ve finished all 7 seasons and there is a hole in my life.
Am caught up on One Piece up to the end of the Egghead arc, waiting for the dub of the next arc. I don’t know what to do with my life now. 🙃
Corner Gas for me!
Since no one else has said it, I want to recommend “Dark.” It’s German, so subtitled unless you watch it dubbed, but oh shit what a lengthy ride
Just watched The Closer on Netflix…
Barney Miller
M.A.S.H.
Star Trek: DS9
Adventure Time
Gravity Falls
Buffy/Angel
TNG, DS9, VOYAGER, enterprise was suppose to go to 7 seasons, but it was cancelled.
It actually got really good when Berman and Bragga gave up on it and gave it to Moore but it was too late.

spent a decade in depression and how i get to catch up on 10+ years of media ☺️
An alternative to having depression is discovering a love for a new genre of content. As long as you don’t get overwhelmed by how much will be available, you’ll be set for a very long time.
the light at the end of the tunnel?
Small Wonder (1985-89)
ALF (1986-1990)
Babylon 5 (1993-1998)
The X-Files (1993-2018)
LEXX (1996-2002)
Stargate SG-1 (1997-2007)
Firefly (2002-2003)
Shameless (UK original, 2004-2013)
The IT crowd (2016-2013)…and some others that don’t meet the 15y mark.
This is my favorite Mickey Mouse meme:
That… Is something
me with gamechanger recently
And it just keeps getting better.
There’s nothing sweeter than the pain of catching up…
I wish I could erase my memory of House M.D. and watch that masterpiece all over again. There isn’t a shitty episode. Not one.
and almost every replication of it isnt as good. maybe the pitt? dint realize the showrunner/ main character was also the doctor in the OG medical series, ER, and that went on for like 12 seasons.
One thing always pained me about that series. I know it’s whole thing was that every episode followed pretty much the same formula, but I wish they had one episode that was just House working in the clinic for a day and diagnosing like 40 patients in a row. We get a few small scenes when he has to spend a few hours there dealing with the general public, but they’re few and far between.
Season 3, episode 12 (“One Day, One Room”) is probably the closest to that.
It isn’t all House in the clinic, all the time, but I think he only works clinic cases in that episode.
House MD is a great show, and I partially identified with House at the time I viewed it. Now, more spiritually inclined and aware that the world is an illusion and is ultimately dependent on the entanglements created through intention-setting, I see House much like my father; very logically-oriented but missing the point. There are more complex systems than what the universe presents as it’s empirically-defined system. The universe is a divine clock, alright, but therein, there is greater complexity at play that bestows each of our parallel-generated experiences. We are not featherless bipeds on an Earth, but rather each of us is a unique pocket of consciousness that is procedurally generated based on intention-setting, and our intentions are reconciled with countless others to generate the realities most likely to wake us up to this process, and my awareness piqued twelve years ago and I speal from gnosis of having followed the whispers of God; logic (Adam) is only half the equation, and our intuition (Eve) will understand reality truly before that which House defined his life by.
On a scale of Martha Stewart to Snoop Dogg, how high are you right now? Im at least a Weird Al interviewing Snoop/Dogg but im still having trouble following you.
Didn’t think that people of your intelligence could find House MD good
The Expanse is well worth your time.
The last two seasons though are meh, the last season is outright nonsensical, unfortunately
I just started watching this, again. So, good.
Stargate SG1.
if you drink while you watch it, you can rewatch it as many times as you want and you’ll always find something new.
I asked my friend why he was so angry about game of thrones and he said because of the plot holes
Stargate SG1 has plot holes so big you could drive a solar system through them
But it’s still some of the greatest TV ever made
Just gunna tack on Stargate Atlanits and, yes, even Universe to this recommendation.
SGU was gone too soon 😞
Rewatch every 8 years or so. Still good after the 3rd re-watch this year.
Episodes are very long
The 40 minute standard of when TV shows were still made for TV program is shorter than most high level streaming show episodes nowadays.
I think you’re in the wrong thread.
your argument against, is the whole point.
You mean back when a “season” meant 26 episodes and not 9?
Pirating old TV was just a storage commitment for that. Crazy that over time the file size got larger but it’s less of a problem
I could get half a season of Friends on a written CD with divx. I’d say the bottleneck was the DL speed for that era.
I should have burned DVD’s. Wasn’t an option I had available back then
Ahhh, now I understand your problem. You’re a datahoarder! Yeah, it kinda sucked to collect media back in the day. In the early 00’s I had a neighbour who collected mp3s - he didn’t care what type of music it was, he just collected 'em. I didn’t understand at the time, but now I see he was a budding archivist.
Indeed! Just not a very good one.
And yeah It’s crazy the stuff that’s becoming unavailable over time. Luckily music is a little more preserved and available than a lot of film
Yeah, but you gotta learn to love the bomb. After they stole my laptop and backup drive (only had 1 backup, silly me), I became disappointed in local storage. When they killed liveleak, I knew the adage ‘the internet remembers’ was hollow and only the short-term memory thrives, if that.
From what I gather, hoarding music, movies and newer tv shows for preservation is unnecessary, but if you come across an old TV casette recording of a broadcast TV show, digitize it and upload it to Anna’s Archive.
Good luck honing your hoarding skills. I too prefer local copies. Who wants to sit through buffering?
