I rarely watch anything that is younger than about 40 years old, 50 or 60 is more like it generally. Nor do I watch many movies any more since Paramount sent me a nasty letter telling me they didn't want me watching their shit any more, and I have no idea which movies are Paramount properties and which ones are not - so I just don't watch most of them at all. That did pretty much ruin Star Trek for me, since it is currently a Paramount property. I don't watch it, in any incarnation, any more... and I used to love that show.
I've never even heard of most of the shows y'all are mentioning here, and have no idea what they are about or whether I'd even want to watch them, nor do I have any notion where I'd find them if I ever did want to watch one.
I can't sleep in the quiet. If I try, I hear every little sound outside and I'm up trying to check it out to make sure It's not the King's Men coming for me. So Grace keeps a TV on all the time I sleep, usually on some kind of cooking show. That serves double or triple duty - she likes watching them, it maintains enough noise to drown out outside noises for me, and, as an added bonus, I find them boring as hell, so I can go right to sleep with them on without developing an undue interest in them.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
