I've mentioned before that I've been kind ore revisiting some previous older fandoms since the last half of 2023. It's kind of what I do sometimes when I'm in a media lull, sort of in between finding the next thing to get obsessed with or trying something new. And believe me, I have a long list of things I want to try, but it's a matter of finding the right time to do it and sometimes you just need a breather before doing that. Anyway, while I can go back and forth of rewatching some recent things I've already watched or that I constantly rewatch for time to time I sometimes have a desire to rewatch something I haven't seen in some time. And for some of these, it truly had been a hot minute.
( Some of those shows that I've been rewatching (no spoilers). )
I also came across a brief article recently which poses the question of why some of the top streamed shows are older rather than newer ones. I'm sure similar articles and statistics have been done before, but having just done my recent revisiting of older shows myself, aside from my personal reasons already stated, obviously having shows that are a.) longer in both seasons and number of episodes per season and b.) already finished, not worrying whether it's going to be cancelled and removed from the streaming service (that will happen regardless though, which is why physical media is very important). Sure, nostalgia and wanting something familiar is also a factor and it is fun to revisit (or even discover) something that aired decades ago, but I think it's become apparent that a lot of people miss the 20+ episodes across multiple seasons structure of television shows. I know I do, personally speaking.
