What’s a TV show you watch over and over? I hardly watch anything new anymore. Just Frasier, The Sopranos and House. I cycle through them yearly and want to shake it up with something new that people find rewatchable

regular show. it might not be /late/ material but the first 4 seasons are gold
The Simpsons since 20 years.
X-files. I always come back to this show. I love the characters, the stories, the real and it's comfy as it reminds me my childhood in a certain way.
For me it's Fraiser, the Nanny, King of the Hill, the first 10 seasons of the Simpsons, Law and Order Criminal Intent, Law and Order. I may also recommend Bob's Burgers, and if you like Fraiser, you might enjoy Cheers, and if you enjoy Cheers you might like Taxi. You could also try Seinfeld or the Golden Girls.
I used to get a channel called FTV, I think, and their /late/ night line-up was Maude -> Barnie Miller -> One Day At A Time (not to be confused with the remake) -> Designing Women (you've now stayed up too late)
I also find Gimme A Break, Laverne and Shirley, Magnum P.I., Father Brown, Columbo, Matlock, Crossing Jordan, Hart to Hart, Rizzoli and Isles, Midsommer Murders, Las Vegas, and Dynasty to all be pretty comfy.
I've only watched a couple episodes, but Midnight Diner seems good in this way, if you don't mind subtitles.
My favorite show is Lodge 49, whichbis good for a rewatch because it's so layered with meaning and symbolism.

I've seen every episode of the original Beavis and Butt-head series (as well as the 2011 show) at least twice. It's my favorite show, although it didn't start getting good until a few seasons in. I always find it amusing, even more than shows which seem like they had more work put into the writing.

The old Simpsons seasons are also something I have as an option (although there were so many good ones even when the show was good that I haven't seen most of them more than once), and there are still shows I really like that I haven't seen all the episodes of. There are others like that too. I'm more of a movie guy than a TV guy, so I don't really watch all that many shows. It would feel like too much of a time investment for me.

There's something comforting to me about the kinds of old shows TV Land was created to broadcast. Green Acres is my favorite as far as sitcoms go, and I'd like to watch the entire thing someday. There's very little TV from the past 20 years that I'm willing to watch at all.
Used to love 90s Star Trek and watch an episode occasionally, but it's a bit too heavy to rotate though as you can with many others already named which I also do, it's more of a full time commitment. If you view it through the lense of current year, you'll also notice how hammy Star Trek is, how naive. Sometimes it is comforting, sometimes it is upsetting. I guess our timeline is very cynical.

I also have Becker in my rotation, IT Crowd and Father Ted. These are rather short though. Then the occasional McGyver and Monk but these I can only take in small doses. Another always-in classic is MASH. I don't think there's ever been anything comparable since. Also probably one of the few shows that doesn't really have a weak season and just gets better towards the end. The old Addams Family is also something I like watching occasionally. I'm not gonna lie, it's very dated and probably insufferable for some. It already was when I was a kid. I liked to watch old TV shows as kid so it has a special place in my heart.

There's few modern show I like and one is "What we do in the Shadows", and that's mostly just because I love Vampire/Ghost/supernatural-based media like this and it gets away with more than other stuff would. In the same vein: Ghosts (English one).
