But at the moment, people watch new TV shows when they come out, rather than watching old shows which are just as good. I think it's because they enjoy watching the same thing as other people.

That’s true, but it’s also because of marketing. At least streaming services also list “related” productions that are older.

I still do rewatch X-Files, Star Trek TNG, Seinfeld and Stargate SG-1.

I uh, want to believe.

Would you if there were endless new episodes? Or upon rewatch that they could change slightly?

What about your kids kids? Would they look back on older generations who are watching non procedurally generated content that never changes as weirdos?

For story arcs, the thrill is an evolving story with a coherent plot. I suppose singular X-Files and Seinfeld episodes could easily fit in with the procedurally generated category. That is very exciting prospect. Seinfeld infinity.
