I would say any version of Law and Order. Always interesting and could be watched completely out of order without losing any context. Seinfeld would be up there too. And The Honeymooners, but I have seen the core 39 so many times it's almost too familiar.

I rewatched most of the Sopranos recently and realized that although it had moments of brilliance it really is not as great as we want to remember it. Groundbreaking certainly, but I think it has not held up super well to be honest.

How to waste half a Saturday: Get sucked into "Law and Order" on TNTW at 8am. Next thing you know it is afternoon.

Ancient Aliens

The Ricky Gervais Show ( I could listen to that round-headed buffoon tell stories every day for the rest of my life and never get tired of it)

New episodes are now being filmed for Still Game. It's been 9 years since the last episode. Can't wait!
