Again, wow... never watched a show that I loved that much! smile

I think there is actually a term for it called "Comfort Binge".
You watch shows you already know and enjoyed, and when you watch them again, this time it's not primarily about being entertained or surprised but to see familiar voices, characters, plots and know what to expect.

When you start to watch new stuff, you have to get used to new characters, dynamics, plots ect, so you have to built a new "bond" and make more effort.

"Comfort Binge" creats a feeling of comfort and is less work, so basicly minimum effort for maximum enjoyment.

Interesting... I guess I'm not looking for comfort but for novelty, and am willing to invest the effort. smile

Re: Silicon Valley

Silicon Valley may have had the greatest assemblage of brilliantly and hilariously written individual characters I can think of from a TV show since MASH. Most shows are lucky if they manage 1 or 2, this show had at least 6.

Oh Jesus, the cameo from Russ Hanneman, the

Think I may have laughed for a full 5 goddamn minutes after the part in ep3 where

Bighead “gets into Stanford” only to turn up for his first lecture, with his pencil and Big Slurpee, sits down, and then reads on the blackboard he got into Stanford as the lecturer.

While that wasn't a cameo I always enjoyed the absurdness of the character. smile
