Is rewatching TV Shows and movies you've already watched, seen as a bad thing? Should I only focus on the new and/or unseen stuff?

[Jemini_Crocket]

I believe it shouldn't matter, I just sometimes feel disappointed with myself when I've got so much TV Shows and movies in my "Watch later list" yet every free time of mine I end up re-watching something that I have already seen (and not just once).

I also feel like the shows (movies too) nowadays just aren't THAT good anymore. Same goes to TV Shows who are running for years now, their first seasons are always the best. For this reason I've never finished watching Supernatural or Teen Wolf.

I love watching (well re-watching) classic movies and TV Shows such as these:
• 80s movies (Terminator, Aliens, Back to the Future...)
• Horror movies (I LOVE Friday the 13th, SAW and more)
• Friends
• Spartacus
• Supernatural (1-5)
• Stargate

What I have been planning to start watching are these:
• Breaking Bad
• Firefly
• The Man in the High Castle

There's more but I'm already spamming my own post.

What's your opinion about this, guys?

Not at all - you do you OR I do the same

You should focus on the new stuff, leave the past comfort shows behind

Other answer?

It's not bad at all. Yes, there are people who will judge you for that but screw them. Do what makes you feel good. Seriously: is it somehow nobler to watch new episodes of The Kardashians than rewatch your shows? No. Enjoy your rewatches. :)

I recognize most of what you posted - you have good taste!

[Jemini_Crocket]

Thank you :)

I rewatch shows constantly, it's like a comfort blanket or something.

Just enjoy watching whatever you want to watch, it's about what you enjoy

not bad at all... and I do it all the time

movies, series, anime...

some works will even give you a new experience once you watch them again... which is a great thing

Nothing wrong with rewatching movies and shows that you enjoyed , shit , usually you catch things that you missed the first time around and makes you laugh even more

[Guardian45]

Unfortunately, news is SO DEPRESSING that I only watch it to keep current. That rabbit hole is bottomless!
I'd much rather watch an excellent repeat, than ANY reality show! I'll give new shows a try, but most are CRAP!

[MementoMori777]

The thing is that it's not a bad thing, just watch what you wanna watch

[Iron_Man]

It’s not bad you enjoy the shows so watch it. Not everything nowadays is the best TV shows. I do enjoy watching young rock.

Well, repetition is the mother of learning and so you are subconsciously programming yourself if you are receiving the same ideas and messages over and over.

So if the shows have negativity in them then yeah it's bad.

I often watch old Shows...
recently i watched all Seasons of Kojak =)

[TallAnon]

Do what you wanna do, I never rewatch anything though.

[Guanfei]

I don't see an issue with that, if you want it, and like it.

[Bklynbadboy12]

I always end up rewatching before the new season starts so I can have a fresh in my head

[legalboxers]

I watch MASH always so...

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Not at all.

[EaterPeter]

No. No.
