Favorite television series

[el borracho]

With the release of television shows on DVD we can now spend an infinite amount of time watching old tv series. As much as I loved "Kung Fu" as a kid, I certainly had never seen every episode until the release of the DVDs.

I am, generally speaking, on the verge of being anti-tv (not a moral stance... I just don't find it that interesting) but there is a huuuuuge nostalgia factor for me when watching that show. Additionally, "Caine" is still a geniunely charming character which in most episodes over-rides the inconsistent writing and crappy budget.

Anyway, just wondering...
Who here has seen every single episode of which television series?

House, M.D. (so far)
Chappelle's Show
Ren & Stimpy
etc.

not a big t.v watcher but the ones I like are usually right after each other. Right now I'm watching Entourage, Sopranos, Big Love, My name is Earl, and the Office.

My friend lent me the first two seasons of "The Sopranos". They were pretty good but I don't think I like watching the episodes back-to-back. Cussing and killing started to look normal and blasé.

I love House. I don't know how they get away with keeping me interested in watching the same damn story every week. But they do.

Maybe it's the little ways they change it up, like Cameron channeling the Big Man himself, chewing out Cuddy on Weds.
Just when you thought she couldn't get hotter.

Here's the basic plot of every House episode:

1- The patient has some unexpected symptoms.
2- House and the team get involved and keep going backwards until the patient has deteriorated whithin minute of death.
3- House is an a$$hole to everybody including the patient. He is accused by his colleagues of not caring about the patient but his own satisfaction of triumph.
4- Some last minute desperate conversation turns on the light in House's head.
5- He runs over and searches every inch of the near death patient's body disregarding everyone's objection. He finds a common disregarde cause for the malady. He removes it and saves the patient.

BUT...

I love this show.

Yeah, like people got tired of Columbo saying "If you don't mind, sir. Just one more question. . ."

From the look of the season finale, the writers may be aware of those conventions and willing to bend them in on themselves.

I've seen every I Love Lucy episode. Only because we didn't have cable when I was growing up.

Every episode of M*A*S*H and The West Wing by choice.

Probably have seen every episode of Married with Children and The Simpsons.

If we're talking nostalgia, WKRP in Cincinnati was one of my all time favorites.

OH MY GOD, THEY'RE TURKEYS!!!!!!



More recently, Married with Children.

I'm sure I've seen every episode of the original Star Trek and Next Generation. I've also seen every episode of the new Battlestar Galactica.

I can't say with certainty that I've never missed an episode of anything else, although its possible.

I have seen a lot of the original "Star Trek" but I am not sure I have seen all of them. It's possible... weren't there only like 3 or 4 seasons of the original?

Three. Hard to believe that's all it started with.

Someone recently gave a some "I Love Lucy" DVDs. I was really curious to see what Ricky was saying all those years.
