American Dad up to the point that Seth stopped writing for it and then I restart. It is one of my background noise shows. King of the Hill is the filler cartoon to not start the loop instantly.
Star Trek TNG and TOS for scifi
Oh and i watch Forensic Files enough that i can typically remember who did it within the intro. Similar to the original Law and Order.
I watch TV while eating only. That’s a bad habit I have. I don’t want to look for new shows while eating. I just replay the same shows I know are good.
If I start a new show and I like it, I will just just binge watch until the season finishes. I am too old to waste time like that so I don’t usually start a new show.
A lot of the punchlines are “ha ha, aren’t they weird?”, which hits totally different if you’re the sort of person who the character is an obvious caricature of. Doubly so if the weirdness in question is associated with some form of neurodivergence. For some people - myself included - a lot of the laughs in that show feel very much like they’re laughing at you, not with you. It’s only funny if you identify more with the people on the other side of the joke.
That’s an interesting take. I’m sure they didn’t mean to hurt ND people, even if they did end up doing that. I loved the jokes despite identifying with most of the “weird” characters
