People are watching more TV and adding new streaming services to cope with isolation — but statistics show they're tending to re-watch old favorites.People are watching more TV and adding new streaming services to cope with isolation — but statistics show they're tending to re-watch old favorites.There's a lot of uncertainty in the world right now.
Evidence for this trend isn't just anecdotal. A new Nielsen study, conducted with Billboard and MRC Data, examined theand concluded that more than half of consumers today seek comfort in familiar music and television shows. 87 percent of respondents reported listening to the same music they normally listen to, and 54 percent said they'd recently rewatched episodes of an old favorite TV show.
Yep. That’s why they never went off the air! going back when times felt good ....we Just started the second season of. (1975)
I watched three Wild Wild West episodes. It's just full of delightfully inappropriate humor.
Yep - watching first episode of The Greatest American Hero on Prime.. I know I liked the show as a kid, but can't remember anything really except every word to the theme song!!!
Tell Netflix to put Friends back on 💗
God no! Watching those is mind numbing
Truth! Even more if you don’t have cable and the channel with the best connection is Grit. My other alternative is FOX. Grit it is with all the westerns I can stomach.
‘3rd rock from the sun, MASH, Alf, Star Trek the original series and the next generation, Friends, Frasier, Are you being served, The thin blue line’ are all good shows
I've been listening to new i❤radio station called Charlie's 80's Attic. Great 80's music from my childhood!!
I watch The Hallmark Channel. Always a nice ending. Yes they are sappy...but right now, I need sappy.
I have been enjoying chicken soup as my chicken soup for quarantine.
Is this actually true?
My big screen media consumption is down to 1) Richard Attenborough documentaries, 2) beloved animated films—last night, it was Fantastic Mr. Fox, and Spirited Away will probably be on later today, and 3) movies starring Audrey Hepburn. That’s it. That’s the list.
It’s the chicken soup for sustained state violence
...and random eating.
For me, it’s been a lot of X-Files
Rediscovering the brilliance of 3rd Rock from the Sun. I want French Stewart's wardrobe.
Will give it a try since I'm actually making chicken soup...I find I miss the old ways more on weekends since that's when we were more likely to head out and do something...But, maybe we'll binge watch some I Dream of Jeanie or Bewitched tonight. stayhome staysafe
It reminds us of a time before the world went to shit.
🎶Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name...🎶
ClevelandLeah Binging Little House on The Prairie on IMDB right now!
Absolutely! The best place to be right now is another time. Enjoying every episode I’m watching. 📺
Could be just plain ole boredom
Old stuff was kind of genuine, even my 15 year old daughter loves the shows like “Mind your language” and “Boy Meets World”
At 45 I just started re-reading Narnia. Maybe it is?
I must admit that I've been binging All in the Family lately. Archie Bunker reminds me of a time when it was fully acceptable to laugh at bigotry.
Constant TCM with a chaser of Leave it to Beaver and Perry Mason. Particularly gratifying, B-rated horror-Sci-fi. The Brain that Wouldn’t Die is a winner!
A lot of the 'new' material is running out too. Either we've already seen it or nothing else new is being released. And I'm not going to watch a docu on Pandemic when I'm living the docu on Pandemic. I've been between Korean dramas and nostalgic comedy.
I've been watching QuantumLeap reruns on Comet. 💙💙💙 ScottBakula
i think they just invented nostalgia last year to help with emergencies like this
Chicken soup for the sofa
I've been bingeing old episodes of Lost. I've seen them 3-4 times already, but now seemed like the perfect time to watch them again.
It’s not a new trend. It’s a very old trend. Lindy
Frasier for life.
The best tv shows
Yes! I'm doing a Gilmore Girls' rewatch.
Final Fantasy VIIr has me in nostalgic tears
and the rmpbs & PBS shows during the day. African Civilizations--so good Cities of Light, Sky, etc--nice how the shows of the same day were connected. Thanks I loved how they both tied into each other. Nova-always Nature-always The Woman in White-chilling
We all want to go back to a time before Trump made America great again.
Married With Children hits the spot
Yep .
I only watch the movies from the 30,40,and 50s They’re the greatest films ever made
I have the same TV that’s in that picture and it works. Does anyone want it?
Yes!! Totally true in my household. Right now cheesy, 1950s and 60s sci-fi. And spicy meatballs from a grandma recipe.
