Apparently, staying home all day with nowhere to go has made people turn to the classics for entertainment. A new survey shows 7/10 respondents say quarantining during the COVID-19 pandemic has made them more nostalgic than they’ve ever been before. There’s just something comforting in rewatching old favorites that can’t be replicated.
The survey of 2,000 Americans found that the average person has rewatched 30 episodes from classic TV, with the most re-watched being Seinfeld, followed by Game of Thrones. In movies, the top rewatched titles were Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones. Die Hard, Home Alone, and Back to the Future also made the top 5 rewatched titles during quarantine.
