2. The Simpsons

You'll never stop (rewatching) The Simpsons.

Yes, it hardly needs mentioning that the show started going downhill over a decade ago, and there's no suggestion that it's worth going back over the later seasons. But the Golden Age, on the other hand, is another matter entirely.

The exact span of that period differs from person to person, but being generous let's say Seasons 2-9; in that time period, you'll get around two hundred of the most outrageously funny, layered, smart, and purely great pop-culture ever put on a screen of any size.

The episodes are packed with hidden details, jokes you'll miss as a kid or those that go over your head, the varied characters are all wonderful, and no matter how many times you see it the best episodes just never stop being a delight.
