Anyone rewatching any old shows during quarantine?

I just finished binging Wycliffe, a British detective show from the 90s based on novels by W.J. Burley. It was filmed on-location in Cornwall and features some really beautiful settings. It was a pretty good show although the final season tended towards the melodramatic.
It's streaming free on Roku TV.

I am near the end of series two of Ashes To Ashes with Keeley Hawes. Not a bad little BBC series.
Tonight I started Eureka.. What a quirky little show this is? I had fun
It's a great show and I enjoyed the hell out of it when it first aired. The cast is great, the "science" is made to be somewhat believable and a lot of fun cameos.
It is, and it shares the same universe as Warehouse 13 and Alphas and they even did a cross over story with Warehouse 13. Fargo is probably my least favourite character.
I rewatched S4-S11 complete of MASH earlier in the year. I tend to rewatch S1-S3 episodes here and there, since those were my favorites for the most part.
I'm currently on a Three Stooges rewatch. I'm getting near the end of the Curly era, so it's getting a little harder to watch. He was a different man after around 1944.
Eureka is quite fun.. Not as boring as when I first watched it and dropped out.
I caught up with Agents of Shield, I've been thinking about doing a DS9 rewatch. I haven't seen that series in a while. I wish I knew when Discovery Season 3 is so I can plan my rewatch around that date.
I’m still working but I haven’t been going anywhere outside of work so have had plenty time to catch up on my to be watched list. Witcher, Constantine, etc.
I actually ran out of shows to watch so a couple weeks back I started watching original law and order for the first time from the beginning. I did watch some SVU over a decade ago but I never got around to the original series before now.
It’s actually giving me really positive nostalgia feels just because visually (Picture quality, fashion, technology, etc) it’s pretty much the same as what was on tv when I was a kid.

I'm on season three of Bojack Horseman and this show is great.
I love how they skewer the film and TV industry for the soul crushing place of shattered dreams it really is.
One character who works at the network\studio had a script in her hand and the title was "Fat Husband, Hot Wife". Wow, never saw that show before.
Maria Bamford is excellent as the bitter film director.

I'm quite fond of David Lynch's Dune. Sadly, it sounds like it's his least favorite movie, so I don't think that he & I have the same tastes at all.
Well, if it's been long enough, maybe the episodes will seem fresh because you will have forgotten who the killer turns out to be.
I don't see why this episode should be a problem. Elaine wasn't trying to convert him because she disapproved of his sexuality or anything like that. She just wanted the benefit of having sex with him herself. Is that so wrong?
And then some other episodes were directed by Justin Lin, who would go on to direct Star Trek Beyond and a few of the Fast & Furious movies.
I liked Chevy Chase just fine on the show during the first 2 seasons. But I think that they wrote a perfect out for him at the end of Season 2 and I don't think that they should have brought him back in Season 3. He didn't really contribute much after that and it's painfully obvious that most of Season 4 was written with the specific intention of keeping him quarantined in his own subplots so that the entire episode wouldn't be derailed if Chase walked off the set in a snit again. (Supposedly, the end credits scene of the video game episode was going to be a sweet little heartwarming scene between Pierce & Abed but Chase refused to film it, so they had to rewrite it at the last minute.)
Most nights, when I'm going to sleep, I put on an old episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000. I've mostly just been cycling through some old favorites like "Monster A-go-go," "Mitchell," "The Dead Talk Back," "The Wild World of Batwoman," "Prince of Space," "Overdrawn at the Memory Bank," & "Girl in Gold Boots." I also finally finished "The Black Scorpion" after multiple tries. Some of those early episodes are really rough. They hadn't yet perfected the riffing formula. I've also been incorporating some of their other post-MST3K riffing endeavors like--
Cinematic Titanic with "Legacy of Blood," "Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks," "Blood of the Vampires," & "War of the Insects."
Rifftrax with "Hawk the Slayer," "Prisoners of the Lost Universe," "Santa & the Ice Cream Bunny," & "Santa's Village of Madness."
The Film Crew with "Hollywood After Dark." If you ever wanted to see Rue McClanahan as a depressed stripper....... Well, I guess no one actually WANTS to see that but it is really funny if you like excessive nihilism in your exploitation/heist movies.
I found an old copy of Damnation Alley.... Oh yeah OK so that was a thing. The only cool thing about the movie was the truck.
God was that a bad movie.
But it holds a special place in my memory because as me and a friend walked down the train tracks to go see that movie (at the movie theater when it was released, yes I'm that old, LOL) we smoked 17 joints and then the movie opened with a montage of 30 or so nuclear explosions. That'll stick in your memory.
The movie is\was horrible but I did like the mutant cockroaches.
That truck was reused in a Saturday morning show called "Ark II" starring James Doohan aka Scotty.
No...The Ark II was built for the show and was not a makeover of the Landrover. And it did not star Scotty. Doohan was Commander Canarvan on season 1 of 1978's Jason Of Star Command, a sister series to 1977's Space Academy , which reused the front section of the Ark for it's Seeker shuttles.
The unique wheel design of the truck in damnation Alley was an actual thing that worked. Nice article about it.

I have vague recollections of seeing it but no idea when it was (probably late 70s).
