Last night on Comedy Central, they were playing the Jim and Pam wedding. My wife had never seen it and got to experience the pure cringe during the Michael Scott toast scene. That show never gets old with me.

I haven't done this in awhile, but-

MASH. Especially early years, with Frank and Trapper. Absolute brilliance at times.

Cheers. The banter at the bar is unmatched.

Highlander. The overall concept lends itself well to rewatches, you can do well without any continuity. Just catch a random episode and watch Duncan vs an opposing Immortal. You literally could start making new episodes set today, and it would make sense to fans of the show.

SG1, especially before it got too complex, was timeless. As long as the military tech doesn't become too dated, you just get NATO vs aliens, which is still fun.

Original Magnum, some of the individual episodes stand up great today.

I'd say you want a show where context and setting are either not important, or memorable and fixed (MASH). You DON'T want intricate storylines, because that's where you eventually get bored... you want the individual episode to be the entertainment.
