I swear y'all just be wanting it to be 2005 again. lol.

I'll never understand why playlists aren't a thing. Or shuffle. Streaming services have so many features they could steal from music.

After season 3 of Buffy I had to start Angel just for the back and forth crossovers.

I think people just want TV to have some character again. Streaming has taken A LOT of the fun out of watching TV. Sure it's super easy, like ordering everything you need on Amazon but that doesn't mean people don't miss the days of hanging out at the mall

It’s my fantasy to start a streaming service that does this (or honestly rent a movie theater to do it every once in awhile - come see NBC’s lineup from 8-11pm on February 13 1994! (Random date)

Well said!

I totally forgot those two (three?) years where every show was horny for green initiatives — ‘07ish

Plex does this, and they can contain different media types. I have a playlist that’s the full run of Twin Peaks (in release order, including the movie), and it should be possible to build your own for crossovers (eg: my “Millennium” playlist includes the series’ back door finale on The X-Files).

The Arrowverse or "#OneChicago" type shows need this too. And those are/were different nights.

But it sounds like you mean the whole night from one network.

Better include all the commercials. Nothing is funnier than seeing ads for the all new 1993 Ford Tempo!

TGIF and Must See TV were notorious for crossover episodes and theme nights. I’d be down to watch the Friends/Mad About You crossovers lol.

Yep, they absolutely need playlists. Think like a "comedy block" of old sitcoms, the way networks used to air (still do to some extent) syndicated shows. For some reason cable channels went the other way and now just air like 12+ hours back to back of the same show.

That's brilliant, like a TV time capsule. I'd watch.

There was a website I've seen posted somewhere, but I've totally forgotten what it was called, that simulates a TV from like the early 90s or something like that, where it just plays and plays in real time, commercials and all, and there's a visual manifestation of an old TV itself surrounding the video- you click on the knob to change channels.

I wish there was an "interconnected" version of Agents of Shield on Disney Plus that included the movie that impacted the next week's episode.

Happy Endings and other shows have a release order and chronological order. This should an option

I've seen that, it's pretty fun but it's pretty much just a Youtube clip machine, they don't have full episodes unless it's actually uploaded to Youtube. So it's cool to "flip through" and feel like you found and old episode of The Simpson halfway through but really it's a 2 minute clip that's gonna keep replaying.

I was thinking that I'd love to have a setting to watch the original trailer in between each episode.

I went on a binge of Star Trek: TNG trailers the other day, and it would have been amazing on my last binge to see "Next time, on Star Trek: The Next Generation", with that iconic announcer, after every episode.

The New Girl meeting Jake Peralta

Funny thing is apparently Hulu has the wrong order but HBO Max has it right

Yep. Im a huge huge fans of that show. Watched it everyday for years. Probably eatched it over 20 times since theres so few episodes. And the wrong order really messes everything up. I do understand the why. Those few episodes are a bummer and the episode Bo Fight is easily one of the worst of the series.

No covid, no housing bubble, my wife hadn't left me. Can you blame us?

I watch family guy, american dad and futurama reruns every night with ads, and I hulu. Im just used to ads

I'm still a cable person, I grew up with commericals, they just have never bothered me. Again it's just how I grew up, ads are when you ran to the bathroom, got a snack, got stuff done.

And I know there's people that feel that they shouldn't have to pay for ads or that by having ads it turns the whole show into ads but I have way more important stuff to stress about than that so I've never gotten much into it.

Considering how much everybody wants to bank on nostalgia this would be so perfect, I grew up on the ABC Sitcoms and being able to watch a block of those like they aired would be super cool.

There's a twitch stream every Thursday with a 90s Simpsons episode with commercials. It's cool, this Twitter feed runs it.

As a Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network kid I’d love era playlists with the channel bumpers where the commercial break would be.

And during holidays give me the holiday bumpers

This would also be very relevant when it comes to sitcoms since they are sometimes thematic to the era.

And sometimes for ABC they would do interconnected stuff between episodes
