A 2003 Sitcom With 100% Tomatometer Is One of 2 Most Rewatchable Shows Among Fans
To everyone’s surprise, Friends isn’t on top.
Summary:
- The love for old famous shows is seemingly surpassing everyone’s desire to binge-watch all the versatile series that show up on streaming services every single day — and fans have recently confirmed it once again.
- A discussion that took place on Reddit several days ago defined two shows that fans rewatch most.
- Both series got their prime back in the 2000s and still hold impressive ratings on Rotten Tomatoes.
With all the versatility of myriads of shows popping up in the media literally every day, the nostalgia for good old days (and their series) is still the undoubted winner — and fans have proved yet once again.
Around a week ago, a heated discussion was provoked by one user’s simple question about everyone’s most rewatchable show — and, judging by the amounts of mentions, two particular TV series reigned over the community.
The first choice made by most of the fans was an animated sci-fi sitcom Futurama, the first season of which got its release back in 1999. The plot follows sluggish pizza-deliverer Fry who, after being accidentally frozen, wakes up a thousand years later, in 2999 — and then he still gets to work at a delivery company, but alongside extraterrestrial mutants.
Despite being more than 25 years old, Futurama is far from being forgotten at this point — the 12-season-long show still holds an impressive score of 82% from critics and 95% from the audience on Rotten Tomatoes while one of the comments on Reddit mentions that “it just never gets old”.
The second top choice is a live-action show, a 2003 satirical sitcom Arrested Development, which garnered almost 6 thousand upvotes and more than 300 comments in the Reddit thread. The series follows a wealthy, but in fact dysfunctional family which comes apart when its patriarch and corrupt business owner George Bluth Sr. goes to jail for fraud.
Arrested Development keeps its stakes high even twenty years later with fantastic 100% from critics and 95% from the viewers on Rotten Tomatoes — Netflix 's revival of the show back in 2013 could also be a big contributor.
Though many may have expected to see something else that’s usually more common for different tastes — like Friends, for example — these are in fact great shows too. However surprising such results may appear, they are definitely not disappointing.
