For me, I have a few start points: (Ordered in frequency)

Lately it has been Season 3 Ep3, "War is the H Word", "Cryonic Women", "Parasites Lost" and I'll sometimes making it to "Amazon Women In The Mood".
Season one, ep2, "The season has landed"
Season 4, ep 6 "Where the Buggalo Roam"
Season 2, ep 3, "When aliens attack".

All of those have just somehow made my falling asleep just easy and I'm never tired of these episodes! Interested in hearing others!

The only one that really bothers me is Game of Tones with the loud repetitive alien sounds.

What media server do you use? I use Plex and use it with either the Plex app or VLC and easily create playlists and shuffle. Just create a separate sleeping playlist vs watching all of the series. :)

I use universal media server (UMS) since my tvs interact with it natively and I liked it because it was open source. Having the shuffle ability sure sounds nice. UMS, has put out some big new releases lately I need to see if that feature has been added or Ive never noticed it. Ive just been scooting a long with it. It's basic but works reliably. I use dms explorer on my phone to play (I think vlc works also).

I've heard of Plex for years but have never given it a try.

I like plex because it can be used across an array of platforms. Moreover, you can access and share your movies/shows online with friends and family as long as your server is online. Lots of other cool features.

Edit: someone just started a community for one on lemmy

I may never watch Jurassic Bark again, just can't seem to build up an immunity to the sobbing lol. And yeah even imagining those tones for Nibbler's spaceship puts me on alert like I never found out what it was, not good for sleeping.

Otherwise I don't have super strong feelings about different Futurama eras because I came to know and love them all in one go after they'd aired, so I'm happy to start wherever I left off.

I assume I would need to tag @[email protected] for them to see my message too? Also I started to type it in and a drop-down box popped up which did markdown for me, so let me know if that's the way to do it

@[email protected] should be able to see this just fine as it added onto the thread. So anyone subbed here can see it. That's the beauty of the fediverse.

Yep! That's right! Hello all! The fediverse is awesome!
