Top Old TV Shows and New Jersey’s Number 1 to Re-watch

My top three TV shows I like to re-watch list changes periodically. For instance, when I was a kid one of my favorites was What’s Happening. It was already in reruns or syndication when I started watching it every day. It was on at 5:30 on weekdays and I’d make sure I was home to see it. However, I don’t watch it regularly anymore unless I come across it while channel surfing and I’m in the mood to grab a little nostalgia. One of the TV shows I’ll watch anywhere, anytime is Seinfeld. I can binge-watch it anytime on Netflix, but I prefer it to be more spontaneous. If it’s on Comedy Central or anywhere else I’ll leave it on and love it just as much or maybe more than when it originally aired. Barney Miller is one of the really old TV shows I watch regularly now, mainly to fall asleep to. It was popular in the 70s and 80s and for some reason, it’s still entertaining while keeping my brain from working too hard. I find it interesting how they have themes and topics that are still relevant and debated today. Another example of the TV shows I’ll pop on kind of regularly is The Office. It has to be an episode before Michael Scott (played by Steve Carell), left the show. The earlier or older the episode in the series, the better for me. And according to a new survey by Casino.ca, The Office is the most popular series in the country to re-watch. RELATED: American Idol Holding New Jersey Auditions in Late August They polled 6,000 people as to which shows they watch repeatedly, and The Office is the preferred choice to re-watch. It’s the top pick in 14 states, including Pennsylvania, California, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, and Wisconsin. Coming in second is Breaking Bad starring Bryan Cranston. My son is still obsessed with this show and it’s the number one re-watched show in New Mexico, where the series is set, plus six other states. New Jersey’s Favorite Show to Re-watch Friends ranked third, and at the top in four states, including New York, where the show takes place. Fourth place was a tie between Seinfeld and Law & Order: SVU, both also set in NYC. Law & Order: SVU is also New Jersey’s favorite. Rounding out fifth place was another tie among The Big Bang Theory, Grey's Anatomy, The Simpsons, Modern Family, and Schitt’s Creek. They are the top choice in two states each.
