    On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, we are past the quarter century park, so it's time for reflection on television and its impact on us. Ergo, we debate the most rewatchable TV shows of this century.

Shows like Modern Family, The Office, Parks and Recreation, Psych, Justified, Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, Lost, Fringe, Schitt's Creek, and a host of others. We narrow it down to our Top 16 TV shows of this century - a mix of popularity, listener choices, and our own - and whittle it down to THE most rewatchable TV show of the century! That's not all!
