Studies are now showing that Americans are more nostalgic than they have been in a long time. The reason? Quarantine. A survey showed that many people are rewatching some of their old favorite television shows and movies.

They also found that some of the top nostalgic shows and movies were Seinfeld, Jurassic Park, and Indiana Jones. Many shows and movies had to stop filming during the pandemic, so it also may have drawn people to watch old shows again.
