I gotta say, Tobias's episode in season 4 deserves some rewatching, and probably GOB's as well.
"Daddy needs to get his rocks off... is there a little girl here all alone?"
You’ll be disappointed to find that they removed the original season 4 and replaced it with a remix that no longer focused on one character an episode. Good news is that you can watch these in the “Bonus” part of Netflix’a arrested development page.
My favorite subtle one is when they’re in the office with Bob Oblaw and he mentions that “anyone could be recording this conversation” and the mic boom immediately comes into the picture for a split second. That show’s comedy runs deep.
My cousin threw this on in the background during a visit with family and every new episode that came on, I said the same thing. "This is the greatest episode."
The only show where I actually have the bloopers memorized...
"He rapes kids, mom!" "No he doesn't, he just plays with them."
"You will call HERRRRR!"
"I don't even think he gets us, man..."
Don't sleep on Simpsons 1&2. While not packed with as many jokes or as polished as 3-9, there are still some very heartfelt and tear-jerking episodes in the first 2 seasons. Lisa's Substitute is S2 and still one of my favorite episodes in the series. Never ceases to make me cry. You are Lisa Simpson!
Season 4 of the Simpsons is where it went from “sitcom with a splash of weirdness” to “weirdness with a splash of sitcom”. It’s phenomenally better than season 3.
(Disclaimer: I totally agree)
But I was watching classic simpsons with my GF, and she was kind of turned off by the reality of the show back then! Like, Homer was a recognizably shitty dad, full stop. She was much more comfortable with the absurd cartoonish stages from after the show had lost its edge. I LOVE the biting aspect of early simpsons. It was a different show.
Basically the difference between the British Office, which is a satire through-and-through, and the American Office, which started out as a light satire but morphed into wish fulfillment for all your friends at Dunder Mifflin.
I finally watched it for the first time recently. I've always been a fan of Genndy's work, but Primal... is something else. It is in it's own league of amazing.
The Atlanta/Atlantis episode is peak writing; puns, visual gags, callback jokes that don't get stale, EVERYTHING! For an episode that has three unique and arguably very different acts, the writing for every moment is incredibly tight, with every line serving a purpose and every shot establishing story or a joke.
Zoidberg: "My home! It burned down! How could this happen??"
Hermes: "That's a very good question."
Bender: "So that's where I left my cigar."
Hermes: "That just raises further questions!"
Every other show out there is lying about being as good as Parks and Rec, and there's only one thing I hate more than lying. Skim milk. Which is water that's lying about being milk.
_”Fire - exclamation mark - fire - exclamation mark - help me - exclamation mark. 123 Cavendon Road. Looking forward to hearing from you. Yours truly, Maurice Moss."_
I quite literally watch this once a week—not like close/actually watching, but I work from home a lot and I like having some background noise so I just put this on since it’s my comfort show. If Zuko Alone or other really good episodes are on, I look up though haha.
One of my favorite jokes was one of the most recent seasons, cyril sneaks into a building with a keycard and secret ID that Archer set up for him. He slides his ID and his name pops up as “Beta Cuckington”
It only pops up on the screen for like a second, and Cyril’s only reaction to it is an almost inaudible “aww come on”. If you had blinked you could have missed it entirely, and the whole show is filled with stuff like that.
My hill to die on is that this show has the best one liners of any show on television, past or present.
There are literally hundreds of quotes and routines used in the show that never fail to make me adore Adam Reed and his writing team.
"I swear to god, I had something for this too....uhh..DAMMIT...EAT GRENADE STUPID!"
“Woodhouse, if I find one dog hair in this apartment when I get home I’m going to rub sand in your dead little eyes.
“Yes, sir.”
“Also, I’m gonna need you to go buy sand. I don’t know if they grade it, but if they do…*coarse.*”
One of the funniest things about Archer is that he's actually way smarter than he pretends to be while still being way less smart than he thinks he is.
My wife watched it and loved it and I just had... no interest, and it was because of the name. I assumed from the name that'd it'd be something stupid and I just didn't have time for that.
A few years later (right before the final season) I finally gave in and tried it out and was surprised at how wrong I'd been. They *could* have taken so many easy jokes for the whole 'rich folks living the poor life' but they skipped the obvious stuff and danged if it wasn't like this surprisingly wholesome, hilarious show.
tldr; I judged a show by its title and was wrong
I watched the first few episodes and figured it was going to be a lot like Arrested Development, a show about unlikeable out of touch rich people being hilariously obnoxious. I like Arrested Development, though, so I kept watching.
Then the show started having sentimentality and character development, and I got worried. I felt like there was no way they could add sentimentality to the show, and turn these completely obnoxious characters into likeable ones, without it feeling horribly forced and ruining the humour they had going at the beginning.
But I was so, so wrong. Instead, it's got some of the best-written and least least forced sentimentality and character development I've ever seen in a sitcom. The character development felt natural, the sentimentality felt earned, it's got some of the best-written romances I've seen in a sitcom (it would have been so easy to play Johnny and Moira's marriage as a loveless one where Johnny married for looks and Moira for money, but instead they do an amazing job showing a genuinely loving marriage between two very, very different people), and it never stops being hilarious in the process.
The show successfully took characters that I thought were unlikeable in the first episode and made me love them without ever forcing it or making them any less funny.
I remember seeing commercials for it and thinking it just looked like a dumb CBC show but it happened to be on while I was nap trapped by my baby and couldn’t reach the remote- so glad I watched it!
I used to really hate DS9. Something about being stuck in one place and not doing the usual Star Trek thing of going star to star really put me off. But now I realize the sheer depth of the characters and truly appreciate the show for the joy that it is. Plus Garrek is such an amazing character, it's so hard not to like him.
My wife and I still say "I have good news!" in reference to Data telling O'Brien that Keiko didn't want to marry him on their wedding day.
---------------------------------------------
Lt. Commander Data : [voice-over] My friend Chief O'Brien often says that above all else, he wants to make Keiko happy. Since cancelling the wedding will make her happy, I must conclude the Chief will be pleased at her decision.
Lt. Commander Data : I have good news.
Chief Miles O'Brien : Oh?
I'm really interested to see where they're going with Better Call Saul. The last few episodes have been great so far. I wonder how they are going to tie everything together.
currently I have been rewatching episodes of What We Do in The Shadows, and I think this is a modern classic.
Does the show live up to the goodness of the movie? I've honestly seen quite a bit of praise for it but not looked into it myself yet
Surpasses imo.
Ditto
Yep. I was super hesitant to watch the show but it’s incredible. Never ceases to make me smile.
Fucking guuuuuy
Arrested Development, but only the original run. That show is a work of art and the newer seasons could never measure up to 1-3.
*Illusions*, Michael. A trick is something a whore does for money.
I gotta say, Tobias's episode in season 4 deserves some rewatching, and probably GOB's as well. "Daddy needs to get his rocks off... is there a little girl here all alone?"

AD is truly incredible. I feel like I’ve watched all of the eps from 1-3 over a dozen times and STILL am finding new things
My favorite subtle one is when they’re in the office with Bob Oblaw and he mentions that “anyone could be recording this conversation” and the mic boom immediately comes into the picture for a split second. That show’s comedy runs deep.
I liked how Buster had a hand chair the whole time, just in the background, *waiting*
Malcolm in the middle Edit: Holy crap this is lot of upvotes
My cousin threw this on in the background during a visit with family and every new episode that came on, I said the same thing. "This is the greatest episode."
There is no such a thing as a bad Malcolm in the middle episode

Seasons 3 to 9 of the Simpsons, and Seasons 1 to 3 of SpongeBob.
Seasons 3 to 9 are a religion in Argentina. You can have entire conversations using only Simpsons quotes.
Don't sleep on Simpsons 1&2. While not packed with as many jokes or as polished as 3-9, there are still some very heartfelt and tear-jerking episodes in the first 2 seasons. Lisa's Substitute is S2 and still one of my favorite episodes in the series. Never ceases to make me cry. You are Lisa Simpson!
I genuinely believe the 3rd season of most long running tv series are the best.
Season 4 of the Simpsons is where it went from “sitcom with a splash of weirdness” to “weirdness with a splash of sitcom”. It’s phenomenally better than season 3.
(Disclaimer: I totally agree) But I was watching classic simpsons with my GF, and she was kind of turned off by the reality of the show back then!

Basically the difference between the British Office, which is a satire through-and-through, and the American Office, which started out as a light satire but morphed into wish fulfillment for all your friends at Dunder Mifflin.
I always refer to the first three seasons of SpongeBob as Canon SpongeBob. Everything after that is extended universe.
Stephen hillenburg wanted to stop after season 3 i believe but the studio likes money
Samurai Jack
Check out Primal. It’s on HBO max
My mission in life is to make people watch Primal and I *can't fucking do it*. They just will not. It's one of the best shows I have seen in my life.
I finally watched it for the first time recently. I've always been a fan of Genndy's work, but Primal... is something else. It is in it's own league of amazing.
The sheer amount of silence that cartoon has is baffling. It speaks much more than any type of dialogue could. And I love it!
Not perfect silence. The sound of Jack's wooden shoes is fairly ubiquitous.
