I tend to be most interested in the context the show came out in, things that made sense or we knew at the time but quickly forget. Like the previous writer's strike, some actor being a big deal, plotlines changing due to actor pregnancy, etc.

Ah, that would definitely be interesting to read about. In some cases I remember it but there are both older shows as well as shows I don't watch until much later where I wouldn't know about that.
